Are you worried about the future due to injuries from an accident?
One of the biggest mistakes that victims of an accident make is failing to properly consider the long term needs that they or their family will have following an accident and serious injury.
Even if the person responsible for the accident has insurance, these company’s profit by analyzing and account for risk. As such, they work hard to limit the amount of compensation victims can receive, even if the victim has no fault at all for the accident.
A good personal injury lawyer will work in your best interest to make sure you are not taken advantage of by other parties, including insurance companies.
Leading to devastating losses and costs...
Losses of Income &
Competitive Advantage

Out-of-Pocket Expenses
Accident injuries can require extensive medical bills, costs to replace damaged belongings, as well as costs for assistance in housekeeping, attendant care, care-giving and other services.
Pain & Suffering
In Ontario, you may be compensated for pain and suffering, but even for the most serious cases, courts may not award more than $350,000. Legal advice from a lawyer is imperative in this regard.
Is there compensation for medical care, or to support your family?
There is more to an accident than just filing a claim on time.
When is the right time for settlement? Is an offer from the other party a fair and reasonable offer? How will I be able to get medical care right away? If I can no longer work, what can be done so that I can still support my family? What if I need additional services due to my injuries?
A personal injury lawyer can make a contingency fee arrangement so you have no up-front legal costs while you start your claim. They can also help in facilitating your recovery and making sure all of your losses are held into account.
