Serious collisions result in severe injuries that could lead to disability, amputation, disfigurement or even death. Consequently, the impact on the victim and the family can be devastating and life-altering, in terms of the physical, emotional and financial burden that has to be borne.

Accidents that are the result of someone else’s fault or negligence entitle victims and/or the family to seek compensation for their injuries, damage and losses. If you or a dear one has been involved in such a catastrophic accident, contact a Tavistock personal injury lawyer without delay.

What Are Catastrophic Injuries?

In legal terms, catastrophic injuries are defined as those which cause a victim to lose limbs, lose movement in limbs, lose eye-sight, severe brain injury, impairment of the whole person, mental and behavioral impairment.

These injuries cause a person to be rendered unable to work or be gainfully occupied, enjoy life, leisure and entertainment as they previously did and also have to incur enormous expenditure for long-term or permanent medical treatment and rehabilitation, attendant care, assistive devices, attendant-care, medication, hospitalization, re-education or re-training, modifications to living, working spaces and transportation.

In such cases, there are many complex aspects, laws and regulations that need to be addressed and a Tavistock car accident lawyer who has handled catastrophic injury cases previously would best be able to assist.

Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Most people assume that Ontario’s Statutory Accident Benefits Scheme (SABS) which provides up to $1 million no-fault benefits to all victims of catastrophic injury would take care of all their present and future needs. Apart from this, there may be extra benefits if you’re eligible to compensate for lost income, child-care, housekeeping, out-of-pocket expenses etc.

However, disputes with the Financial Services Commission of Ontario can and do occur. This is where a top-rated accident lawyer can provide the right advice.

Additionally, victims are entitled to sue the at-fault party for compensation for economic losses, pain and suffering etc. This is another area where a free consultation injury lawyer can provide a swift and genuine assessment regarding your claim and counsel you on the way forward.
