When an unexpected injury changes your life, knowing where to go for treatment can make a big difference. If you were hurt because of someone else’s actions or carelessness, Longo Lawyers can give you a free consultation with a personal injury lawyer in Clarington. We know that after an accident you are worried about your health, your ability to work and how you will pay for all the extra expenses. That’s why we want to give you the chance to talk to us for free and with no obligation. This will get rid of at least one of your stressors.
Many people wait to call a lawyer because they think it will be too expensive or they are not sure if they have a case worth pursuing. We believe everyone who has been hurt should know what their legal rights are especially when they are dealing with the physical, emotional and financial aftermath of an accident. We will listen to your story, go over the details of what happened and explain how the law applies to your situation during your free consultation. You don’t have to hire us and this first meeting is free. We just want to give you the information you need to make the best decision for you and your family.
Our staff has worked on many different types of injury cases in Clarington and the surrounding areas. We can help you if you were hurt in a car accident, a slip and fall at a company or someone’s property or because of negligence at a nursing home or daycare. We also help those who have serious injuries such as brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and long term pain. We take the time to learn about the exact problems you’re having and how your injury has changed your life because every case is 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 even if you weren’t at fault. These benefits can help you pay for medical treatment, rehab and lost wages while you get better. Unfortunately it’s not always easy to get these benefits. Sometimes insurance companies will wait to pay you, deny your claim or give you less than what you are owed. We do everything we can to make sure you get all the benefits you are entitled to under the law. Product liability claims arise when defective products cause injury or harm. You may be eligible for compensation if a manufacturer or seller is at fault. Legal support can help gather evidence and protect your interests.
We also help families who have lost a loved one due to a wrongful death. One of the worst things someone can go through is losing someone because someone else was careless. Even though no legal claim can bring your loved one back, it can help pay for the funeral, lost wages and the emotional trauma your family has been through. We treat these cases with the respect they deserve and give you time to grieve as we work to get you justice.
The effects can be even worse when a child gets hurt. Kids can get hurt in many places, like daycare centres, playgrounds and sports injury accidents. Parents want to make sure their child can get the medical treatment, therapy and support they need now and as they get older. We believe fair pay should take into account the long term needs of your child and your family.
You may not expect injuries to happen but they can. Dog bites can hurt people physically and emotionally especially if the victim is young. Motorcycle accidents and accidents involving cyclists and pedestrians often cause serious injuries because these people don’t have enough protection. When a restaurant or bar serves too much alcohol and someone is hurt they 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 types 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 believe this way gets rid of financial barriers and allows everyone to get good legal help when they need it most. Psychological injury from an accident can affect every area of life. These claims deserve the same attention as physical injuries. A legal consultation can help validate your experience and support your recovery.
