Brampton personal injury lawyers know that every case is unique, just like the people involved and the circumstances that surround them. However, there are certain questions that clients have when they consult a personal injury lawyer when they or loved ones have been injured in an accident caused by someone else’s fault or negligence.

There are certain perceptions created by the media, including television shows, news reports and films, that portray the field of personal injury law in a light that could be quite far removed from reality. Often, only the most sensational cases get coverage and these tend to influence the way people evaluate their own cases.

When an accident occurs, it leaves all those involved confused, anxious, bewildered, in pain, grief etc. The main focus at this time is to get medical help immediately to the injured and ensure that their lives are not in danger. However, once the immediate danger is past, people realize that there are enormous physical, financial and emotional consequences to be faced.

Compensation is available either in the form of statutory benefits or as a settlement in a personal injury claim. Your experienced personal injury lawyer can provide an evaluation of your case and give you the right advice on the best way forward.

Common Questions

1.What cases are handled by personal injury lawyers?

Like any other field, law also has its areas of specialization. Personal injury lawyers provide legal representation to clients who have been injured physically, financially and psychologically due to the fault or negligence of someone else.

They also select certain areas in which they gain experience, expertise and knowledge such as insurance disputes, premises liability, car accidents, defective products, animal attacks, slip and fall, etc

2. Can personal injury suits be brought for any type of injury?

This term can be defined as “…in a narrow sense, a hurt or damage done to a man’s person, such as a cut or bruise, a broken limb, or the like, as distinguished from an injury to his property or reputation. The phrase is chiefly used in this connection with actions of tort for negligence..” Hence the personal injury claim cannot include a claim for damage done to property such as an automobile or its contents.

3. Whom can I bring a personal injury suit against?

Our experienced 24×7 injury lawyers can assess your case and from their knowledge and experience, advise you about whom a suit can be brought against. It’s very important to bring action against the right party, otherwise it will be a failure. There can be more than one at-fault party. Often, people are reluctant to bring action against friends, co-workers, family-members, neighbors etc. However, it’s actually their insurers who make the settlement payouts.

4. How much time do I have?

Statute of limitations time-frames are prescribed for initiating a personal injury lawsuit. They differ from country to country, state or province and are also based on the party being sued. It’s important to start proceedings early to avoid missing the deadlines.
