Tourist Claims for Vacation Injuries
With the warm and sunny days of summer behind us, many Canadians are planning tropical vacations to get a break from the impending harsh winter weather. Many of these trips will go off without a hitch but, for some, things can go very wrong and serious injuries can occur. We are often consulted by injury victims upon their return to Canada to determine whether they have a viable claim, or lawsuit, arising from the injury. The question of whether they can be compensated is complex and involves an entirely different analysis than if the injury had occurred in Ontario.
