Seriously!
Serious injuries: There is a lay-person’s definition and a legal definition.
They’re not always the same thing.
Under Ontario laws, “serious” refers to an injured person’s:
- inability to work
- become a care-giver
- participate in activities that were normally undertaken before the accident
Our Barrie serious injury lawyers with experience in handling serious injury claims would be aware that for the threshold of pain and suffering claims to be met, your injuries also need to be “permanent.”
Catastrophic Impact!
Serious injuries place immense physical, financial and emotional burdens on injured victims and their families.
“There are no injuries that run so deep that one can’t add insult to them and make them feel even worse!” Mathew S Williams
Victims and their families deserve to be treated with compassion, patience and sensitivity as this can be an extremely traumatic and distressing time for them. Their interests and rights must be safeguarded till settlement has been awarded.
Claiming Compensation
The injured are entitled to seek compensation for medical expenses, loss of income/wages and pain and suffering.
Barrie personal injury lawyers can assist you/family-members to claim statutory benefits and/or monetary compensation from those whose fault or negligence caused the accident.
