When serious accidents happen, damages are to be paid to victims by those responsible for causing the accident. This could include multiple persons and agencies, including government and road authorities, vehicle manufacturers, bar/club owners if the driver was impaired etc. The at-fault party’s insurance company would generally attempt to delay, deny, dismiss or minimize the extent of damages. It’s important to remember that all claims have to be filed within a specified time limit, and this includes claims for statutory benefits too. For most of us, the amount of paperwork involved could be over-whelming and confusing. Our 24×7 personal injury lawyers are well-versed with these regulations. If the victims themselves are unable to make such decisions, a close relative or substitute decision maker can act on their behalf. In the event of death the Ontario Family Law Act provides that family members including spouses, siblings, children and grandchildren can bring a claim for losses that would include loss of care, guidance, companionship etc.
In most cases, settlement is arrived at between the parties outside the court. However, this involves intensive and extensive negotiations, presentation of evidence to back claims, counter-evidence, citing of witness testimony and expert testimony, negotiations regarding the type and amount of settlement etc. In case the negotiations do not yield a satisfactory settlement, our Blenheim car accident lawyer are fully prepared to take the case to trial.
Other factors would include the long-term impact of these injuries and the pain and suffering undergone. In case of permanent disability or disfigurement, additional compensation may be awarded based on a life-care plan and future medical needs and other needs. Once this information is made available by your doctors to your Blenheim personal injury lawyers, they are in a better position to provide you with an evaluation of the case. Our personal injury lawyers begin reviewing case law that’s available to our knowledgeable team, then examine similar cases where compensation has been awarded and also review previous cases similar to yours that we have handled.
