Accidents aren’t always “accidental.” They leave a trail of destruction in their wave in the form of physical, financial and emotional consequences. Unfortunately, most accidents are avoidable and preventable, since they’re usually caused by a lack of following reasonable safety norms, carelessness or even a deliberate flouting of regulations.

Settlement Process

Nearly 95% of personal injury claims are settled out of court, through a process of discussions, presentation of each side’s point of view backed by proof, negotiations, arbitration and mutual agreement. Very few personal injury claims are tried in court and there could be a number of reasons for this. In some cases, the plaintiff truly feels they “want their day in court,” when the issues have a strong emotional or ethical foundation. In other instances, the dispute between the insurance company and the complainant cannot be easily resolved, and a court process becomes necessary.

As experienced Brampton car accident lawyers and Brampton slip and fall injury lawyers, we understand the importance of being prepared when we enter into negotiations with the at-fault party, their legal representatives and their insurers. Preparation for all situations, whether negotiation or trial, is an essential part of our brief, whenever we take up a case.

Importance of Evidence in Personal Injury Claims

Personal injury claims are decided on the basis of evidence of negligence, injuries and the impact of these injuries on the victim’s life.

Unless seriously injured, the victim himself/herself can get:

• Photographs of the accident scene with date and time stamp if possible
• Details of all those involved in the accident
• Witness contact details
• Insurance information of at-fault party
• Model, make and license plates of the other vehicles involved
• Medical treatment received, when and where
• All documentation and receipts/bills regarding any expenses connected with the accident.

Independent investigations can collect:

• Police and traffic reports
• Testimony from expert witnesses
• Video or CCTV camera evidence if available
• Digital reconstruction from collision specialists
• Evidence showing condition of other driver (impaired, distracted etc)
• Maintenance records of premises

In accident cases, there are chances that geographical aspects can change, signs like skid-marks from tires, blood-stains, evidence of fault in automobiles, infrastructure etc can be repaired, faulty flooring can be repaired, the factors that caused the accident can be changed, people’s memories may fail and their remembrance of things could get hazy with the passage of time.
