Farming towns and rural areas are often plagued by incidents that city dwellers barely ever get to see: a farm equipment mishap, a country road accident, seasonal dangers. When you live in a tight knit town like Tilbury, everyone knows everyone else and that can make it a nightmare to figure out who’s to blame or how to get some compensation after an accident. The distances and limited medical services in rural areas don’t make things any easier. We know that people in smaller towns and cities often don’t want to take legal action because they don’t want to rock the boat with their community or aren’t sure if their case is even worth a lawyer’s time. Water-related accidents often involve serious injuries and complex liability matters. We guide injured individuals through the legal process while pursuing compensation following boating or watercraft incidents.

Farming communities have their own special kind of mishaps accidents involving tractors, livestock, and farm equipment that need a real understanding of the tools, the seasonal work patterns, and the kind of road conditions you find out in the sticks. The laws that apply to these kind of accidents are different from the ones that apply in a typical urban personal injury case. And let’s not forget that farming is seasonal which means that an injury can have a serious impact on a person’s ability to earn money and plan for their financial future.

We want to give you a factual picture of how strong your case is and help you understand what kind of damages you might be looking at. And we’ll do it all without any jargon or complicated legalese.
When accidents happen in small towns they can be a major pain to deal with there just aren’t as many emergency responders around to help out, it takes longer to get to hospital and there tend to be fewer witnesses to corroborate what happened. This can all make it harder to deal with the immediate aftermath of an accident and then try to sort out the legal bits later on. We’ve worked with clients in rural areas before who’ve had these exact problems, so we know exactly how to tackle the locationspecific concerns.
Insurance companies often get in touch with people right after an accident, sometimes before they’ve even had a full medical checkup or worked out how bad their injuries are. And you can bet these insurance companies are looking to get a settlement that suits them, not the injured person. Before you say a word or accept an offer we recommend talking to a lawyer first.
In rural areas, people can make personal injury claims for accidents that happen on the road, at work, when they slip and fall, or when they use a piece of broken farm equipment. Every case is different and needs to be looked at carefully to figure out who’s responsible and what kind of compensation is fair.

If you miss these deadlines you might not ever be able to get any money through the court system.
