Accidents on the road can happen out of the blue and change your life in ways you never thought possible. Every day we see this harsh reality when we work with clients in Mississauga who have gone through this. We at Longo Lawyers know that the effects of a car accident go beyond the physical damage and include complicated legal, medical and financial problems that can last for years.
The roads in Mississauga are busy, which means driving is tough and accidents happen all the time. The 401, 403 and QEW are major highways that bring a lot of traffic into the city. Hurontario Street and Dundas Street are busy arterial roads that manage local traffic and commuters driving at high speeds. Even the safest drivers can become victims of someone else’s carelessness or bad judgment in these situations.
As soon as they hear of a traffic accident in the area, insurance companies send out their response teams. Their adjusters and detectives start working while the victims are still trying to figure out what happened to them and may not even know how bad their injuries are. These first investigations look for ways to reduce the insurance company’s financial liability instead of making sure the people who were hurt get proper compensation for their losses.
We have found that many people who are hurt in car accidents don’t realize how bad their injuries are at first. This is because the body hides pain and other signs for hours or even days after a crash. Conditions like whiplash, concussions and soft tissue injuries get worse over time. If they aren’t properly documented from the start, this can make both medical care and legal processes more complicated.
Most people don’t have the expertise to deal with the legal issues that arise after a traffic collision because they don’t deal with them every day. Figuring out who is at fault requires a close look at police reports, witness statements, traffic laws, road conditions and often complicated accident reconstruction data. And it takes a lot of experience managing many similar situations over many years to fully understand the different types of insurance coverage that are available and their limits.The cost of medical care is just the beginning of the financial impact of a car accident. Families who rely on regular income to pay their bills each month may struggle to make ends meet right away if someone loses their job, especially if they can’t go back to work for a long time due to an injury. Some injuries also leave people permanently disabled which makes it much harder for them to make money in the future and means they will need medical care, rehabilitation services and adaptive equipment for the rest of their lives.
We treat every traffic accident case with the care and attention to detail it deserves. We dig deep into all the information we can find, talk to medical experts when we need to and work with accident reconstruction experts to get a clear picture of what happened. This planning helps us make the best arguments for our clients so they can get the most money possible.
The statute of limitations sets deadlines for filing traffic accident claims that can’t be ignored or pushed back. If you wait too long to get the right legal help you can lose important evidence or even be unable to get compensation at all. We highly recommend anyone who have been in an accident to get in touch with us as soon as possible after the event to protect their legal rights and preserve critical evidence.
We handle many types of personal injury claims including Slip and Fall Lawyer cases which gives us a lot of experience in many areas of injury law. This broad range of experience helps us understand how different injuries affect people’s lives and makes us better able to get the right amount of money for our clients in Mississauga and surrounding areas.
