Car accidents can change your life in an instant. You could get hurt bad, your car could be damaged and you could be under so much financial stress that seems impossible to manage. If you get into an accident and have to deal with medical bills, insurance claims, car repairs and lost income, you need to hire a lawyer with experience to protect your rights and get you the right amount of money. We know accident victims have a lot of hard problems to deal with and we are here to help them with their legal needs during these hard times.
After a car accident things get confusing and stressful right away and it’s hard to think clearly about your legal options or know what your rights are. Going to the emergency room, making arrangements for towing, getting a rental car, talking to an insurance adjuster and missing work days all makes dealing with injuries even harder. During this time when you are most vulnerable having a lawyer who knows the law will protect your rights and make sure insurance companies treat you fairly.
Our first step in handling car accident cases is to do a full investigation and keep evidence that will help your case throughout the claims process. When we can we go to the scene of the accident, talk to people who saw the crash, get police reports and traffic camera footage and work with accident reconstruction experts when we need to do a more in-depth technical analysis. This preparation gives you the best chance of getting good results.
Insurance adjusters often call accident victims within hours of the crash to get them to agree to a quick settlement before the full extent of their injuries is known to them or their doctors. These early settlement offers almost never reflect the true value of the claim and often don’t take into account ongoing medical needs, future treatment needs or long term effects. We take care of all communications with insurance companies so our clients don’t have to deal with these kinds of things.
Heavy traffic, construction zones and bad driving conditions make Brampton’s busy streets and highways a dangerous place to drive all year round. Rush hour traffic, distracted drivers, drunk drivers and bad weather make it more likely people will get into accidents every day. When people get hurt in accidents because of careless driving they should get enough money to cover their losses. We know every car accident case is different and comes with its own set of problems that require unique legal strategies. Some clients have terrible injuries that require long term medical care and a lot of rehabilitation while others have chronic pain conditions that make it hard for them to work and live the way they used to. Our personalized approach makes sure you are well represented.
After a car accident the legal process involves complicated insurance rules, statutory accident benefit claims and possible tort actions against the driver who caused the accident or other people who were responsible. We help clients navigate these overlapping systems and get the most money possible from all available sources of compensation. This comprehensive approach usually means victims get a lot more money than they would have gotten without the help of a skilled lawyer.
Medical records are very important for car accident claims because they show how the accident caused ongoing health problems or treatment needs. To make sure injuries and treatment plans are properly documented we work closely with doctors, specialists, physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals. This partnership shows how accidents affect our clients’ lives in every way.
We have handled more than just car accidents; we also help people with other types of personal injury cases like those who need a Slip and Fall Lawyer for premises liability claims involving unsafe property conditions. Our wide range of experience gives us knowledge of insurance practices, liability theories and litigation strategies that benefit all our clients no matter how they got hurt.
Settlement talks need to be timed and planned carefully to get the best results for injured victims and their families. We look at each settlement offer in light of how our clients’ injuries will affect them in the long term and what their future medical and financial needs will be. We are ready to take cases to court when insurance companies won’t pay fair amounts.
