Car accidents and slip and fall accidents can be particularly serious when the victim is an elderly person or senior citizen. Any injuries that occur at this age can cause serious damage or worsen conditions that were already in existence. However, it’s commonly seen that accidents that seem to be mere “fender benders” or slip and fall/trip and fall accidents that result in only minor injuries are usually ignored or left unattended to by seniors and elders. As we age, our bones become more brittle and wound-healing takes longer. Nutrition and immunity are quite low. If victims have conditions like diabetes, arthritis, spondylosis etc, injuries are not to be taken lightly. Our Whitby personal injury lawyers can advise accident victims about getting timely and top-quality medical treatment without delay.
Accidents are usually caused by someone else’s negligence or fault and victims are entitled to compensation to cover their medical costs and other expenses. Older people living alone may not have access to transportation, be less inclined to visit doctors and they have concerns about the costs of medical care, rehabilitation etc. Our Whitby car accident lawyer and Whitby slip and fall accident lawyer can ensure that the right diagnosis and treatment are given to accident victims. Our accident injury lawyers deal exclusively with personal injury cases and can offer a swift, comprehensive and genuine assessment of the claim before taking it forward.
Personal injury lawyers can assist with establishing the at-fault party’s liability, and ensuring that the claim is backed by strong evidence. Collecting documentary/photographic proof, accessing camera footage, police and traffic records, identifying the owner of premises, getting eye-witness testimony, expert opinions from doctors, technical professionals etc could be challenging for an older person who may not have the resources to collect them. Additionally, if they’re injured or incapacitated because of age or their injuries, any delay in filing the claim could result in its dismissal, because filing compensation claims is governed by strict time-frames. Whitby injury lawyers can assist in completing all these procedures, represent clients at all stages of the case and ensure that their interests are protected.`
