A lot of people don’t know if they should call a lawyer after getting hurt. They might think their case isn’t strong enough or they might be worried about how much it will cost to hire a lawyer. We think everyone who’s been affected by someone else’s conduct should have the chance to learn about their rights. We’ll listen to your story, ask questions to make sure we understand what happened and explain how the law applies to your case during your free consultation. You don’t have to hire us and this first talk is free. We want to give you the information and clarity you need to make the best decision for your future.
Our team has worked on many types of injury claims in Pickering and surrounding area. We can help you if you were hurt in a car accident, a slip and fall at a business or private property, or because of negligence at a nursing home or daycare. We also help those who have brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and chronic pain that can change their lives forever. We treat each case with the care and attention it deserves because they are all different.
Accident benefits are a big part of many injury cases. You may be able to get benefits from your own insurance company if you were hurt in a car accident, no matter who was at fault. These benefits can pay for your medical care, rehab and lost income while you get better. Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to get these benefits. Sometimes insurance companies take a long time to pay out claims, deny them or give you less than what you’re owed. We do everything we can to make sure you get all the benefits you’re entitled to by law.
We also help families who have lost loved ones in a wrongful death. One of the worst things that can happen to someone is losing a loved one because of someone else’s negligence. You can’t get your loved one back with a lawsuit, but it can help pay for their burial, lost wages and the emotional pain your family has been through. We treat these situations with the care and respect they deserve, giving you time to grieve while we work to get you justice.
When a child gets hurt, it can change their whole life. Kids can get hurt in many places, like childcare centres, schools, playgrounds and during sports injuries. Parents want to make sure their child has the money they need for medical treatment, therapy and other help as they get older. We work to get you reasonable compensation that takes into account both your child’s short-term and long-term needs. Sports injury accidents may be caused by unsafe facilities, defective gear, or negligence. You could be entitled to compensation if someone else was at fault. A legal review can help clarify whether you have a case.
You could also get hurt in ways you don’t expect. Dog bites can hurt people physically and mentally, especially young people. Motorcycle accidents and accidents involving cyclists and pedestrians often cause serious injuries because these road users don’t have much protection. When supplying too much alcohol causes harm, restaurants and bars may be liable. If a broken product hurts someone, they may need to file a product liability claim. We know how to handle these and many other kinds of cases.
Most of the time we at Longo Lawyers work on a “contingency fee” basis for personal injury matters. This means you don’t have to pay any legal fees unless we win you money. We think this way gets rid of financial barriers and makes it possible for everyone to get good legal help when they need it most. Ski and snowboard accidents can result from faulty equipment, poor maintenance, or negligent supervision. Injured parties may have a right to compensation. A lawyer can help assess liability and guide your next steps.
