It can be tough to deal with the problems that come after you’ve been hurt because of someone else’s carelessness. The stress can be overwhelming when you have to deal with discomfort, doctor appointments, lost income and expenses. We offer free consultations with a personal injury lawyer in Scugog at Longo Lawyers. This way you can learn about your legal rights and options without having to worry about the cost.

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 has 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.
We’ve worked on many different types of injury cases in Scugog and the surrounding area. We can help if you were hurt in a car or truck accident, a slip and fall at a business or on 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 situation 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 help pay for your medical care, rehab and lost income while you recover. Unfortunately it’s not always easy to get these benefits. Sometimes insurance companies take a long time to pay out claims, refuse to pay them or give you less than you are 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 funeral, lost wages and the emotional pain your family has gone 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 daycare 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 fair compensation that takes into account both your child’s short-term and long-term needs. Motorcycle accidents frequently result in life-changing injuries. If another party was at fault, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim. Legal representation can help secure compensation for care, income loss, and more.
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 serving 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 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 think this way gets rid of financial obstacles and allows everyone to get good legal help when they need it most. Nursing home and daycare facility negligence puts vulnerable individuals at risk. Families deserve clear answers and strong advocacy. A lawyer can help you investigate and pursue accountability.
