Collision with a wild/pet animal can cause a serious accident, resulting in a variety of injuries ranging from simple impact, crush and blunt-force trauma injuries to serious head/neck/spine injuries or even death. Most motorists swerve abruptly when animals cross the path and could end up colliding with vehicles in other lanes, get rear-ended, hit pedestrians, crash into walls/poles or go off the road into ditches, ravines/water-bodies etc. Contact a Camilla personal injury lawyer if you have been injured in an accident involving hitting an animal.
Animal Vehicle Collisions
Statistics reveal that least 4-6 large animal collisions every hour in Canada. Animal-automobile collisions are a serious problem in Ontario, with its vast forest lands that cover an area equivalent to Germany, Netherlands and Italy combined! Moose, elk, bear and coyotes are commonly involved.
Farm animals may also cause accidents and in such cases, the owner is liable. Collisions occur in urban areas and mostly involve pets. A free consultation injury lawyer can give you an honest, swift and comprehensive opinion about your claim and chances of settlement. Obviously there would be no at-fault party in such situations, unless the animal is a pet belonging to someone who would be able to settle a large personal injury claim. However, our experienced car accident lawyers can assist you with claiming accident benefits from your own insurance company.
Claiming Insurance Benefits
If there is no at-fault party to sue in such cases, our Camilla car accident lawyers can assist you with claiming benefits under Ontario’s SABS (Statutory Accident Benefits Scheme) which would include medical/rehabilitation benefits, income replacement, house-keeping, up to the prescribed limits in non-earner benefits every two weeks, attendant care benefits and recovery of out-of-pocket expenses, if you’re found eligible.
Your own insurance company may delay/deny/try to minimize the nature and extent of your injuries. The settlement pay-out may not be made in a timely manner. In such cases, our top-rated slip and fall injury lawyers can help you to file a “bad faith” claim or a personal injury claim against them.
