When you have been injured in a car accident or a slip and fall accident, you may find that you face a financial and emotional crisis apart from the physical injuries that you have suffered. Serious injuries may require hospitalization, a series of operations and clinical treatments, different follow-up treatments and medication, physiotherapy, psychological counseling etc. All these are expensive and you may not have the financial resources to sustain them, especially since you’re unable to work. Being unemployed also means loss of family income, whole or contributory. These aspects can have a devastating impact on yourself and your family.

Under the law, accident victims are entitled to seek compensation and benefits available to them. You need help with your motor vehicle accident claim to ensure that your rights and entitlements are protected and that you get the best possible settlement to take care of your present and future needs. If you’ve suffered long-term or permanent disability, you need lifetime support and care. These are aspects that an experienced Brampton car accident lawyer or a Brampton slip and fall accident injury lawyer can help you with.

Let’s look at typical queries that clients may have:

Q: Do I have a valid claim?

A: Each case is unique. We base our assessment on the facts and circumstances of your individual case. Personal injury claims are hinged on:

• proving fault or negligence of the at-fault party
• evidence of injuries sustained in accidents caused by the negligence
• losses caused by the injuries

We provide you with a genuine, swift and comprehensive assessment that allows you to decide what steps you need to take next.

Q: Do you have experience in handling such claims?

A: Like other professions, the law also has areas of specialization. Personal injury is a branch of civil law that deals with disputes and settlements. In this sector too, lawyers and law-firms tend to gain experience and expertise in certain areas like motor-vehicle accidents, slip and fall accidents, defective product, dog bite, long term disability claims, medical malpractice, wrongful death etc. Based on the circumstances of your case, you need to ask your personal injury lawyer about their experience, knowledge and expertise in handling cases similar to yours. You also need to know what our previous record in such cases has been.

Q: What are my chances of a successful outcome? How much will I get?

A: While it’s impossible to accurately predict success or the exact figure that will be settled on, from our experience with previous cases, we can offer an educated guesstimate. Ultimately, the success of a claim depends on the strength of evidence that’s presented. We can conduct independent investigations to help gather proof to back a robust claim. This includes accessing police and medical records, assembling testimony from experts and eyewitnesses, ensuring that all documentation is in order, making sure that paperwork is filed accurately and within the prescribed deadlines, protecting your rights and safeguarding your interests.

Q: Who will handle my claim?

A: This is a very important question. Many firms conduct initial meetings and consultations with senior partners. Later, your claim may be handed over to a junior lawyer or less experienced associates. Ensure that you get clarity on the lawyers who will handle your claim. We ensure that our experienced, knowledgeable lawyers handle your case. Establish a firm line of communication with them and insist on regular updates. This helps you to stay involved and informed and gives you a better chance of staying in control.

Q: How much will the entire process cost?

A: Most people are reluctant to get involved in the legal process because they think it’s going to be horrendously expensive, lengthy and unpredictable. Personal injury lawyers and law-firms take up cases on a contingency fee, No Win No Fee arrangement. This means that clients don’t pay any fees upfront. Unless your claim is successful, we don’t charge any fees and only bill you for expenses. Besides this, we can also help to fund your medical expenses and take soft loans to help meet household and caregiver expenses. When your claim is satisfactorily settled, these amounts can be adjusted against the final figure.

We advise clients to make a note of all the questions they have in mind before they meet us for a consultation to help them get clarity on all important aspects.
