A surprising but true fact is that more accidents occur in summer than in winter. Contrary to popular assumption, it’s not just bad weather, icy roads, poor visibility and the festive, winter holiday moods that contribute to motor-vehicle accidents. Statistics provided by Canada’s National Collision Database reveal that the maximum number of collisions happen in the summer season between July and August. In fact, nearly 20% of collisions happen during the summer months.

Summer’s The Time For Fun!

Many teenage rivers get their driver’s licenses during the school vacations and probably  revel in the thrill of taking their cars out alone for the first time in summer. As the best personal injury litigation lawyers in Ontario Canada know from experience, teens are more prone to risk-taking behavior, indulge in distracted driving behaviors like texting, answering phone calls and reaching out to adjust music system or radio controls in the car while driving.

Summer months also sadly are the maximum period for teen impaired/drunken driving crashes. Statistics from Ontario’s Ministry of Transport database reveal that there are the highest number of collisions in summer, on Fridays between 12 and 4 am.

Who’s At Fault?

Most accidents are caused by fault or negligence and unfortunately accidents cause injuries that can change the victim’s life forever.

Accidents result in a range of injuries, from minor bruises, cuts and sprains to serious fractures, traumatic brain injury, permanent disability or even death.

Our serious injury lawyers can conduct independent investigations into the causes of the collision. They can enlist the help of automobile experts, crash specialists and medical experts apart from witnesses if any to analyze and understand the real reasons for a collision.

Additionally, our 24×7 accident injury lawyers can access police and traffic reports and records, obtain camera or video footage that can help fix liability.

Establishing fault, proving negligence and proving that your injuries were the direct result of the collision are the elements that help build a robust claim to be presented to the  at-fault party’s or your insurance company, during settlement negotiations and also in court if negotiations prove unfruitful.

Uninsured or Under-Insured At Fault Drivers

Often, the at-fault party may be uninsured or an under-insured driver, especially if they are teenagers. Summer time accidents may sometimes involve such drivers. In such a case, our top rated accident lawyer can assist you with filing a claim with your own insurance company.
