Ice and Snow? Take It Slow!
With the winter holidays upon us, it’s obvious that people would be more relaxed, less careful and more willing to take risks while driving. Ice, snow and poor weather conditions increase the possibility of accidents and collisions.
If you or a dear one has been injured in a car accident, it could result in a variety of injuries, both minor and major.
Minor injuries like sprains, bruises, cuts etc probably heal in a week or two, provided the injured person’s age and general health are conducive to this.
Major or life-altering injuries include fractures, head and neck damage, spinal cord injury, paralysis or even death.
Contact a London personal injury lawyer without delay if you feel that your accident was caused by another person’s fault or negligence.
Accidents Don’t Just Happen, They’re Caused!
Ontario has a rate of over 475/100,000 population who are injured in collisions, according to Transport Canada statistics.
In a majority of cases, accidents are preventable and avoidable. As our experienced London car accident lawyer are aware, collisions happen for a number of reasons including:
- Distracted/careless/speeding/fatigued driver
- Poor weather conditions/visibility
- Inexperienced/elderly driver
- Animal crossing
- Defective/malfunctioning parts
- Aggressive/impaired/rash driver
- Failure to obey/notice traffic signals
Accidents Hurt – Physically, Financially and Emotionally!

- Long-term absence from work may lead to job loss, loss of income or earning capacity.
- The family-income level dips substantially if the injured person was contributing to the shared income.
- Medical costs may spiral out-of-control and extend for long periods.
