LO supports bill reducing slip and fall statute of limitations By far, the most serious issue affecting the snow and ice sector is liability caused by slip and fall claims. Many contractors are having difficulty obtaining insurance and if they do, are forced to pay exorbitant prices. LO is supporting a Private Members' Bill from Muskoka MPP Norm Miller to reduce the Statute of Limitations from two years to 10 days. This matches the limitations currently in force on public property. Please visit or contact your local member of provincial parliament and ask them to support Bill 118. |
