General Personal Injury

Many people are injured in accidents in Ontario every day. Often, the cause is a mistake on someone else's part. And when the injury is serious, filing a personal injury claim may seem like the right thing to do but it can get challenging as the rules and regulations governing injury claims are complicated.

In most cities all over Canada, there are numerous precautions in place to protect pedestrians, including designated footpaths, well lit crosswalks, and flashing crossing signals. But over the past decade, pedestrian fatalities and injuries throughout Ontario have risen to record highs.

If you’ve been in an accident, experienced harassment or discrimination, or suffered due to medical or police negligence you may be wondering if a lawyer is necessary.

Filing a personal injury lawsuit can be incredibly stressful – on top of your pain and suffering, physical therapy, and other medical treatments, you must now deal with a mountain of paperwork filled with complicated language.

Greedy. Untrustworthy. Sharks. Ambulance chasers. These are just a few of the stereotypical descriptions common to personal injury lawyers, often provoked by unflattering portrayals in the media.

Have you ever wondered how compensation for personal injury claims is calculated? If someone is injured in a car or motorcycle accident, can they be compensated for loss of earnings as well as medical treatment?
