“Let’s Not Meet By Accident!”
Unfortunately, as North Bay car accident lawyers, we most often tend to meet with clients who have been injured in motor-vehicle accidents! However, this has only spurred our commitment to ensure that the rights of innocent victims are safeguarded at all times.
Car accidents, like most other mishaps, are almost entirely preventable. They’re caused by someone’s fault or negligence. Typical reasons include:
- Distracted driving
- Impaired/drunken driver
- Failure to follow safety norms
- Failure to obey traffic-signs/signals
- Poor weather conditions
- Lack of visibility
- Inexperienced/elderly driver
- Unfamiliar/badly-maintained roads
- Defective/malfunctioning auto parts
- Aggressive/reckless driving
- Overloaded vehicle
Winter driving in places like Ontario can be challenging even for the most experienced driver unless due care is taken. All motorists have a duty of care to ensure their own safety, that of co-passengers as well as that of other road-users.
Pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists are specially vulnerable as they are completely exposed to impact forces when a crash happens.
Serious Consequences
Obviously, the first thing that needs to be done in an emergency is to get medical help to the injured. As our 24 hour injury lawyers know from experience, the first few minutes following an accident are probably the most critical.
Once the initial crisis has been averted, victims and their families begin to experience the immense physical, financial and emotional consequences of the mishap.
- Loss of income/wages/earning capacity
- Heft medical and rehabilitation expenses
- Pain and suffering
These and other costs add to the distress and difficulties faced by victims/family-members.
