If you live in Brampton and get into a car accident, it’s important to have a lawyer. Heavy traffic on major roads like Highway 7, Queen Street and and Bovard Drive makes it easy for big accidents to happen without warning in this growing city. These accidents can go beyond property damage. They can change people’s lives and lead to complicated legal battles that need skilled advocacy.
After a car accident, everything can feel overwhelming and out of control, especially if you have major injuries, a damaged car and the shock of an unexpected crash. Emergency responders come, police take pictures of the scene and insurance agents call you before you even get the right medical care. During this critical time it’s very important to have a lawyer who knows what they are doing to protect your long term interests and make sure important evidence is kept safe for your case.
There are many legal and procedural issues that can trip up people involved in car accidents. Ontario’s no-fault insurance system gives accident victims some benefits but getting those benefits can be tough since you have to fight for them and keep extensive records of your injuries and losses. Many people find that their insurance company challenges how bad their injuries are or argue that the therapies they were told to have are not necessary. This makes rehabilitation even more stressful.
During the investigation phase of a car accident case, it’s important to pay attention to every detail and keep records of everything. We work with accident experts, medical experts and other experts to build cases that show the full extent of our clients’ losses. When you negotiate with insurance companies or go to court, this level of preparation is crucial because the other side will often question both liability and damage amounts in major injury cases.
Injuries from car accidents can be as minor as scratches and bruises or as serious as ones that require years of medical care and rehabilitation. We have represented people in Brampton who had broken bones, internal injuries, traumatic brain damage and many other conditions caused by car accidents. Each injury is different when it comes to diagnosis, treatment options and long term outlook. To get proper compensation for your losses you need to document everything and have expert medical evidence.
The cost of catastrophic car accidents goes beyond the cost of medical care and car repairs. While they heal from their injuries many accident victims can’t work for months or even years which makes it very hard for families who are already struggling to pay their medical bills. We help our clients understand how much damage they have done including potential medical bills, rehabilitation expenses and lost wages that may last for years after the event.
It’s especially important for nursing homes and daycare centers to keep their vulnerable residents and children safe. We have many cases of nursing home and childcare facility negligence where catastrophic injuries occurred because of lack of supervision, unsafe facilities or poorly trained staff that could have been avoided with proper care and attention.
Insurance companies use complex methods to keep accident victims from getting the most money possible. They can question how bad the injuries are, claim that the prescribed therapies aren’t necessary or say that conditions that were already present made the symptoms worse. We know how to fight these tactics by getting strong medical proof, getting expert opinions and showing how the accident affected our clients’ life and future prospects in concrete ways.
In vehicle accident situations the emotional stress that comes with major physical injuries should never be ignored or downplayed. Many of our clients are anxious about driving, depressed because of changes in their lives or have post-traumatic stress that makes it hard for them to work or keep up with their usual connections. These psychological effects are real and should be recognized and compensated as real effects of the accident and its long term implications on your quality of life.
