Simple Mistakes Can Shatter Lives!

Brampton personal injury lawyers at Singh Barristers are committed to getting you the compensation you deserve!

A June 17, 2016 news report discusses the problems that children playing in the Spencer-Cowan Parkette are at high risk. Sand from the play areas gets strewn on the sidewalks, making them hazardous, because it creates loose-footing for other children.

Winters in Brampton, like other parts of Ontario, are harsh. There is a constant build-up of ice and snow, with slushy pavements, slippery driveways, paths and walkways to negotiate.

A large number of slip and fall accidents go unreported because victims are “too embarrassed” they assume their injuries are minor, the accident was caused by their own clumsiness, or they don’t want the “hassle” of a legal case.

However, accidents are not always accidental. They’re usually caused by someone’s fault or negligence. They result in immense physical, financial and emotional consequences for not just the injured victim, but also for their families.

“Better Late Than Dead On Time!” – Safety Slogan

Brampton personal injury lawyers at Singh Barristers know from experience that car crashes occur for a variety of reasons. Speeding is one of the leading causes of motor-vehicle accidents today.

December 31 2016, City News, Brampton, reports that a 26-year-old car driver was seriously injured in a two-vehicle crash in Brampton. The collision between a cargo van and the car resulted in injuries to the car’s passenger. The two older men traveling in the cargo van were treated for minor injuries.

The accident occurred at Vodden St, Rutherford Road late at night. The police had earlier attempted unsuccessfully to stop the speeding car. While the police and the Special Investigations Unit are analyzing the reasons for the crash, it’s important to understand how and why such mishaps occur.

As our 24 hour injury lawyers know, accidents are not usually “mere accidents” – they’re caused by someone’s fault or negligence.

If you or a dear one has been injured in a motor-vehicle accident, contact a Brampton car accident lawyer immediately. You may be entitled to compensation from those responsible for the accident.

Stop Accidents Before They Stop You!

Major reasons for motor-vehicle accidents include:

• Distracted driving
• Drunk/Impaired driving
• Fatigued driver
• Failure to obey traffic-signs
• Poor weather-conditions/visibility
• Aged/Inexperienced driver
• Defective/malfunctioning auto parts
• Badly-maintained/unfamiliar roads 

While the injured victims focus on recovering their health and resuming their normal routine as much as possible, Brampton car accident lawyers can conduct independent investigations into the crash.

With the help of crash specialists and witnesses, forensic, documentary and photographic evidence and access to police/traffic records they can determine the reasons for the accident. This information also helps our traumatic brain injury lawyers to establish liability.

Compensation Concerns

Ontario residents are entitled to statutory benefits regardless of fault, to be paid out by their own insurers. They’re also entitled to institute a suit against the at-fault party if the accident was caused by fault/negligence.

Victims/families assume that insurance-companies adequately will address compensation matters. There are several complex medical, legal and insurance issues involved.  We can assist you with the paperwork, filing deadlines and other processes, and protect your rights fully.

Recent reports from around Canada reveal that winter weather has caused multiple vehicle crashes on several highways. Icy roads and poor visibility are among the reasons that traffic authorities claim to be the culprits.

In one incident on the Trans-Canada Highway, as many as 40 cars and one semi-truck were forced off the road, leading to snarls in holiday traffic. The injured were assessed on the spot and provided emergency treatment by teams of paramedics who arrived from neighboring medical centers.

If you or a dear one has been injured in a multi-vehicle collision while driving in winter, the first priority is to get immediate medical attention. Exposure to extreme cold can cause serious problems and even death.

Contact an experienced Oakville car accident lawyer with expertise/knowledge in handling similar cases as soon as possible. You may be entitled to compensation and we can assist you with all aspects of making a claim.

Multi-Vehicle Collisions

These collisions are perhaps the most disastrous, leading to enormous property damage, casualties, serious injuries and fatalities. They happen in a split second, usually when vehicles travel at high speed on highways/expressways. The reason may be traced to a single vehicle failing to stop in time, or the driver committing a minor error of judgment.

Though these accidents are routinely attributed to poor visibility and weather-conditions like fog, ice, heavy rain etc, factors like driver inattention, following too closely, speeding etc are equally responsible.

Common Injuries

Whiplash and spinal injuries are the most common types, but traumatic head injuries, multiple fractures, crush injuries etc are also typical.

Rollover and side-crash damage to the vehicle can result in severe head and neck damage and death. Injuries to chest, arms, legs, lower body, pelvis and amputations are found when the impact is taken by the front portion of the vehicle. Side-crashes lead to fatal internal organ injuries.

Getting medical help is crucial. Our top rated Oakville personal injury lawyers can ensure that you are provided with the right assistance in the best facilities once the emergency service has been provided at the site of the crash.

Who’s At Fault?

Multi-Vehicle collisions are the most complicated of accidents. Unraveling the chain of liability is very difficult and involves piecing together bits of information from various sources. Oakville Motor-Vehicle accident lawyers with experience in handling such cases would be the best people to assist you with your compensation claim under the circumstances.

Rear-ending is the most common factor in multi-vehicle collisions and Ontario courts have usually found the driver behind to be at fault. The Ontario Insurance Act specifies certain conditions under which liability can be established. Our Oakville bus and truck accident lawyers can conduct independent investigations into the incident and help determine fault according to the prevailing regulations.

We Can Assist

Dealing with the perplexing and confusing legal, medical and insurance issues connected with multi-vehicle collisions is nearly impossible for people not familiar with them.

Our Oakville personal injury lawyers can help you through the entire process, keeping your interests at heart. We ensure that your rights are protected while we negotiate or fight for the compensation that’s justly due to you and your family.

If you, your family or a friend has been injured in an accident, please feel free to speak to one of our injury lawyers for a free consultation about how we are able to assist in making a personal injury claim.

This Christmas, Environment Canada projects an extremely bleak outlook weather-wise. Freezing rain, packed ice and snow squall warnings remain in effect in most parts of GTA.

While the weather doesn’t dampen festive spirits, it certainly poses hazards not just to motorists but also to people out walking. Ontario’s sidewalks, driveways and markets become extremely hazardous right from the first onset of winter. October and November frosts increase chances of slipping in slushy puddles and muddy driveways. December snows lead to slippery surfaces and walkways, raising the risks of slip and fall accidents.

These accidents can result in injuries ranging from simple cuts/bruises/sprains, to serious fractures, head/spine/neck, dental/facial injury or even death.

If you or a dear one has been injured in a slip and fall accident, getting medical attention immediately is crucial. Following this, get in touch with a top rated serious injury lawyer. You may be entitled to compensation, since your safety is the responsibility of the property owner or occupier of the premises.

Winter Conditions Increase Risks

Though Canadians pride themselves on our rough-and-tough attitude to winter, the dangers are often hidden. Slippery surfaces, potholes, uneven pathways and walkways, uncleared ice at entrances or steps, slush and heavy snowdrifts etc increase the chances of losing balance.

Poor visibility, absence of warning signs, lack of proper hand-rails, missing tiles, uneven steps/stairs, unanchored rugs and mats, etc are other dangers.

Property-owners and municipalities usually sprinkle a layer of rock-salt on snow but extreme cold can render this useless.

Though the route or path may be a familiar one, you could find yourself slipping on a patch of ice that wasn’t there yesterday.

As our experienced Toronto fracture injury lawyers know, it takes just a moment to slip and fall, but it can lead to a life-time of pain, medical treatment and rehabilitation and enormous expenses. These accidents often result in huge financial, physical and emotional consequences. Our long term Toronto disability claims lawyers can advise you in case of permanent disability. 

Staying Safe While Walking In Winter

Hip, tail-bone and head injuries are common results of slip and fall accidents as our Toronto traumatic brain injury lawyers have seen from experience.

Experts opine that preparing ahead to face the harsh weather outside provides one level of protection. This means taking the time to dress appropriately, with good quality clothing and investing in reliable, non-skid footwear. Winter gear is essential.

Keep abreast of weather reports, alerts and warnings on social media, local radio and TV. Avoid stepping out in foul weather, unless it’s absolutely necessary.

Adjust your style and pace of walking. Many of us panic at the sight of ice and try to cross it as quickly as possible. Or they may take tiny, tentative steps. However, both these strategies increase risks of falling. Instead, spread your feet wide apart and relax your body, keep the center of gravity around the middle portion of your body, take steady, even steps and keep going till you reach a safe area.

Our Toronto personal injury lawyers can help you put together a robust compensation claim and ensure that your rights are safeguarded throughout the process.

If you, your family or a friend has been injured in an accident, please feel free to speak to one of our injury lawyers for a free consultation about how we are able to assist in making a personal injury claim.

Our country experiences the most extreme winters in the world, characterized by blinding blizzards and freezing ice-storms. Currently, snow squall advisories across Ontario have been put out by the government’s Public Weather Alert systems, warning drivers to be alert and stay safe.

With wintry conditions wreaking havoc across Canada, many people prefer to use the public transit systems in most cities. They feel safer and less stressed in public transportation buses, trains etc.

However, even these vehicles are not free from hazards during the harsh Canadian winters.

They also deal with the same conditions – snow-storms, high winds, traffic jams, slippery roads etc. The increased number of passengers leads to longer lines at ticket-booths and delays in service.

Poor visibility, bad road conditions, driver fatigue, etc are some of the reasons for public transit accidents.

If you or a dear one has been injured while using public transportation, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact a Scarborough bus and truck accident lawyer as soon as possible for a free, no-obligations initial assessment.

Public Transit Accidents

There are an estimated 11.4 million licensed public transit vehicles operating in Ontario. It’s reported that nearly 60% of Toronto residents use the TTC regularly which includes streetcars and buses.

A recent report in the Toronto Star estimates that there are at least 3000 crashes in the Toronto transit system annually. While the types of injuries are usually minor cuts, bruises and wounds, a significant number of serious injuries also occur.

Apart from passengers, other road-users like pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists etc may also be injured in collisions with public transportation vehicles. In such cases, the injuries are usually more severe, because of the larger size of transportation vehicles.

As our experienced Scarborough car accident lawyers know from experience, there may be several parties liable in such a case. The municipality, private operators who run the company, drivers, maintenance crews etc may all be responsible for a single accident.

How We Can Help

Accidents are rarely “accidental” – they are caused by someone’s fault or negligence. Our Scarborough motor vehicle injury lawyers who handle similar cases can advise you about the types of compensation that you can claim. These include:

• Loss of income/wages
• Medical and rehabilitation expenses
• Pain and suffering

All those injured in motor-vehicle accidents in Ontario are entitled to statutory benefits under the Ontario Insurance Act regardless of fault. The benefits are proportionate to the severity of injuries.

Additionally, victims and families are entitled to file a personal injury suit against those responsible for the accident. Our Scarborough personal injury lawyers can assist you with all the medical, legal and insurance aspects of the process.

The claims process is rife with complex paperwork, strict filing deadlines and norms and it may be difficult for someone unfamiliar with the procedure to work their way through it. Our top rated Scarborough accident lawyers can do this while keeping your interests and rights paramount.

In many cases, injuries sustained in such accidents may lead to permanent or long-term disability. In such cases, our Scarborough long-term disability claims lawyers can ensure that your rights are protected while we help you to get the compensation you justly deserve.

Staying safe on Ontario roads during the winter months is on everyone’s minds when winter sets in. Statistics show that nearly 30% of all accidents in a year occur on icy, snowy roads. The Canadian Traffic Accident Information System (TAIS) has conducted studies that reveal that 5% of accidents happen during snow-fall. This means that an overwhelming figure of 50,000 accidents are directly or indirectly the result of such weather conditions.

In Ontario, snow can fall for up to eight months in the year. So it’s not surprising that packed snow or ice was present in more than 26% of collisions. Wet conditions, loose snow, slush, sleet, hail and snow-drifts are commonly cited as reasons for collisions.

However, the weather is not the only cause of accidents. Most of them are preventable and avoidable. When investigations are conducted, it’s usually found that the accident was caused by someone’s fault or negligence, whatever the weather conditions.

If you or a dear one has been seriously injured in a collision, contact an experienced personal injury lawyer immediately because you may be entitled to compensation.

Driving In Winter 

The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) regularly provides information and updates on weather conditions, safety tips and precautions to take while driving in winter. Ontarians are quite familiar with the kinds of problems that can arise in winter and most of them prepare well ahead to counter these.

The MTO has improved communication with motorists this winter through its updated website and Twitter feed.

It’s important to:

• Prepare your vehicle
• Plan your trip well ahead, and wisely
• Slow down in winter conditions

Top Toronto personal injury lawyers know from experience that the winter holiday season also means that people are more relaxed, frequently partying, enjoy getting together with friends and family but unfortunately, this could also mean that they’re less alert and careful.

“High spirits” from not just a good mood prevail during the festive season.

All it takes is a momentary lapse on the driver’s part to cause a tragic collision. For injured victims and their families, it could mean a life-time’s physical, financial and emotional trauma.

As top rated accident lawyers know, monetary compensation helps to meet the effects of:

• Loss of income/wages
• Medical and rehabilitation expenditure
• Pain and suffering

Staying Safe: Some Tips 

Inexperienced drivers should avoid driving in winter weather conditions. Handling skidding and sliding of the vehicle on packed ice or snowy roads can be challenging. It takes practice to control a vehicle in these circumstances.

Getting stuck in snow causes huge risks. Ensure that you immediately tie something bright to the top of the vehicle so that you’re visible to other drivers.

Never leave the vehicle to start walking. You could either die in the cold, get lost, or get run over by another vehicle.

Prepare your vehicle well ahead for winter driving. Get the right types of snow tires. All-season tires are not the same thing, because they have less grip if the temperature drops below 7C.

If you’re injured in a collision, get prompt medical help, contact the police, your insurance-company and an experienced motor vehicle accident lawyer immediately.

If you, your family or a friend has been injured in an accident, please feel free to speak to one of our injury lawyers for a free consultation about how we are able to assist in making a personal injury claim.

Accidents, unlike popular presumption, are not always “just accidents.” Many of them are the result of someone’s fault or negligence.

As top rated accident injury lawyers know from experience, such events are caused by someone’s fault or negligence. Motor-vehicle accidents, for instance, may be the result of drunken/impaired driving, distracted drivers, poorly-maintained roads, aggressive/rash driving, failure to obey traffic-lights or signs etc.

The consequences of accidents are difficult to calculate, but it’s a fact that they impose huge physical, financial and emotional burdens on not just the victim but also the family.

Filing For Compensation

Ontario laws entitle all those injured in motor-vehicle accidents to receive statutory benefits. These are disbursed by your own insurance-company.

Additionally, victims can file a personal injury suit against those they feel are responsible for the accident. This is best done with the advice and assistance of a top Toronto personal injury lawyer.

Issues and Challenges

We assume that insurance-companies, especially our own, have our best interests at heart. We also feel that once the claim, backed by requisite paperwork and evidence, is filed, there should be no issues.

However, as experienced car accident lawyers are aware, insurance-companies and their claims-adjusters focus more on protecting their own business bottom-line. They may delay, dismiss or deny your claim on certain technical grounds.

They may also offer quick settlements, which turn out to be meager.

Keeping these factors in mind, it’s best to hire the best personal injury litigation lawyers in Ontario Canada to represent you and protect your interests.

The Legal Process

Filing a personal injury claim has to be within the prescribed filing deadlines, at the right venue and backed by robust evidence.

Most personal injury cases are settled out-of-court, but if negotiations prove unfruitful, our personal injury law firm has the skill and resources to pursue your claim in court.

Expert Witnesses

In case of car accidents, experts like car crash specialists, automobile engineers, forensic specialists etc can provide conclusive evidence about the causes of the crash.

A crucial aspect of your claim is evidence provided by expert witnesses.

Successful presentation of expert evidence is possible when:

• The expert is identified/chosen as early as possible
• The expert is more of a specialist rather than a generalist
• They are well-prepared.
• Your lawyer has enough time to gauge their demeanor/credibility/impact.
• Your lawyer tackles any possible credibility issues upfront.
• Brings up issues like payment, time, effort etc upfront.

The expert has to be well presented in terms of:

• Qualifications
• Professional background
• Practical and academic experience
• Trustworthiness
• Humane qualities

The expert should ensure that they:

• Use simple language
• Furnish the court with information that is outside the jury’s realm of experience
• Communicate their ideas/conclusions clearly
• Use a variety of media to convey their conclusions like graphics, audio, video, digital, etc
• Ensure that their testimony mirrors your lawyer’s case-theory and adds weight and substance to it.

Experts can also draw certain inferences from their findings and state their opinion clearly.

They have “scientific, technical or other specialized knowledge.” This information has to be channeled and used in the best possible way to ensure the success of your claim.

If you, your family or a friend has been injured in an accident, please feel free to speak to one of our injury lawyers for a free consultation about how we are able to assist in making a personal injury claim.

A surprising but true fact is that more accidents occur in summer than in winter. Contrary to popular assumption, it’s not just bad weather, icy roads, poor visibility and the festive, winter holiday moods that contribute to motor-vehicle accidents. Statistics provided by Canada’s National Collision Database reveal that the maximum number of collisions happen in the summer season between July and August. In fact, nearly 20% of collisions happen during the summer months.

Summer’s The Time For Fun!

Many teenage rivers get their driver’s licenses during the school vacations and probably  revel in the thrill of taking their cars out alone for the first time in summer. As the best personal injury litigation lawyers in Ontario Canada know from experience, teens are more prone to risk-taking behavior, indulge in distracted driving behaviors like texting, answering phone calls and reaching out to adjust music system or radio controls in the car while driving.

Summer months also sadly are the maximum period for teen impaired/drunken driving crashes. Statistics from Ontario’s Ministry of Transport database reveal that there are the highest number of collisions in summer, on Fridays between 12 and 4 am.

Who’s At Fault?

Most accidents are caused by fault or negligence and unfortunately accidents cause injuries that can change the victim’s life forever.

Accidents result in a range of injuries, from minor bruises, cuts and sprains to serious fractures, traumatic brain injury, permanent disability or even death.

Our serious injury lawyers can conduct independent investigations into the causes of the collision. They can enlist the help of automobile experts, crash specialists and medical experts apart from witnesses if any to analyze and understand the real reasons for a collision.

Additionally, our 24×7 accident injury lawyers can access police and traffic reports and records, obtain camera or video footage that can help fix liability.

Establishing fault, proving negligence and proving that your injuries were the direct result of the collision are the elements that help build a robust claim to be presented to the  at-fault party’s or your insurance company, during settlement negotiations and also in court if negotiations prove unfruitful.

Uninsured or Under-Insured At Fault Drivers

Often, the at-fault party may be uninsured or an under-insured driver, especially if they are teenagers. Summer time accidents may sometimes involve such drivers. In such a case, our top rated accident lawyer can assist you with filing a claim with your own insurance company.

How We Can Assist

Many people wonder “Should I hire a personal injury lawyer?” because they assume that their insurance company will take care of all the issues. They may think that when the other party’s fault is clearly demonstrated, there can be no issues in the smooth settlement of their claim.

However, there can be several legal technicalities, filing deadlines, complex paperwork and insurance regulations which prove challenging for those unfamiliar with such matters.

Our experienced car accident lawyers not only help you get the right medical treatment, they also protect your rights and completely fund your case till full and satisfactory settlement is reached.

If you, your family or a friend has been injured in an accident, please feel free to speak to one of our injury lawyers for a free consultation about how we are able to assist in making a personal injury claim.

If you or a dear one has been involved in a car accident, it’s only to be expected that you experience shock, confusion and anxiety. If someone has been injured, there’s an immediate need to ensure that they receive prompt medical attention. Apart from this, very few people know what the legal requirements are in the case of auto accidents.

Most of us are fortunate enough never to have been involved in accidents. But when the proper procedures are not followed, it can result in serious consequences as far as claiming insurance and monetary compensation later are concerned.

Accidents Are Caused – They Don’t Just Happen

It’s a sad fact that most accidents are caused by someone’s fault or negligence. Factors like distracted driving impaired drivers, poor road conditions, malfunctioning/defective automobile parts, aggressive or careless drivers, etc.

The injured are entitled to compensation from those responsible for the accident. Ontario laws provide no-fault accident benefits to all those injured, but they’re also allowed to file a civil suit seeking compensation.

When you contact a free consultation injury lawyer, they can assess the circumstances and provide a legal opinion about how to proceed with seeking settlement for your injuries.

To Report Or Not To Report?

Our experienced car accident lawyers know that the first few moments following an accident are perhaps the most crucial in deciding the course of future events. People experience fear and panic and are in an emotionally vulnerable state of mind.

A dilemma that those involved in accidents face is the question of whether to report the accident or not. In many instances, as top rated accident lawyers know, people feel that they can settle matters between themselves. They may mutually agree upon monetary settlements and feel that matters are closed.

However, this can seriously impact your insurance status.

It can also cause issues when the damage and injuries turn out to be more serious than initially assumed.

The Legal Position

Your insurance company requires you to report all accidents, regardless of the dollar value of damage caused.

Ontario laws mandate that accidents that cause $2000 and below worth of total damage to both vehicles need not be reported to the police, provided no one is injured.

Instead, you can report such incidents to the nearest collision reporting center (CRC)

What To Do

It’s important to know how to select the right personal injury lawyer when accidents happen. In general, a 24×7 injury lawyer would advise you to:

Never leave the scene of an accident, however minor the injuries or damage. Report it either in the CRC or to the traffic authorities.

In case of injuries, call the emergency help-lines and ensure that the injured receive medical help. Contact a car accident lawyer immediately.

Report the accident as soon as possible to your insurance company, whether or not you feel the other party was at fault.

Begin keeping an accident journal with notes about the accident and your injuries.

Note down details of witnesses, along with the time, date and exact location of the accident.

Our experienced personal injury lawyers can assist you in all communications/negotiations and ensure that your interests are protected.

If you, your family or a friend has been injured in an accident, please feel free to speak to one of our injury lawyers for a free consultation about how we are able to assist in making a personal injury claim.

If you or a dear one has been unfortunate enough to slip and fall on an icy city sidewalk, you could sustain various types of injuries, ranging from minor cuts/bruises/sprains to traumatic brain injury, spinal or neck damage, compound fractures, whiplash, etc that may change the injured person and the family’s life long-term or permanently.

Such injuries result in enormous physical, financial and emotional trauma. While it’s not possible to restore the person to their previous state of health, monetary compensation can certainly ease the financial and emotional burden faced by them and their families. Loss of income/wages, spiraling medical and rehabilitation expenses and the unimaginable pain and suffering experienced can be eased by making the life of the injured and their families a little more comfortable through adequate monetary compensation.

Contact a free consultation injury lawyer who has the experience and expertise of dealing with similar cases, without delay. They can provide a swift, genuine and comprehensive evaluation of the merits of your claim and advise you on further steps to be taken.

Compensation Claims

It’s important to know how to select the best personal injury lawyer to represent you. Slip and fall accident claims are complex and confusing processes, regulated by a plethora of rules, filing deadlines, formats, procedures etc. and only a top rated accident lawyer with proven success in handling similar cases can provide the best assistance.

The Municipal Act undergoes frequent changes, revocations, amendments, additions, etc and our top personal injury lawyers who deal with such cases are familiar with the latest revisions in these laws and also with insurance regulations.

For instance, notice must be given to the appropriate Municipality or City authority notice of the accident and your intention to file a compensation claim within ten days or you could forfeit your rights. Experienced personal injury lawyers can assist you with meeting these deadlines.

Another reason why many claims against municipal/city authorities are dismissed (almost 75% of them according to statistics) is because the right authority was not named. Our serious injury lawyers know that if your accident occurred in front of a private property, the owner is responsible for the upkeep of that area and not the municipality, though you slipped and fell on a public pavement.

Similarly, if you tripped over a bus-stop sign that had fallen over and was buried in snow, the right authority to claim compensation from would be the transportation agency. If you failed to give notice within the time-limit to the agency and named only the municipality, your claim could be barred.

A young male cyclist aged 13 was seriously injured on an Appleby Line crosswalk when he was hit by a Volkswagen traveling north, turning onto Taywood Drive. The driver fled the scene but was later traced and arrested by the police. The victim had to be airlifted to hospital and his condition has been reported as stable when last reports came in.

Such accidents are seen as being entirely preventable and are usually caused by someone’s fault or negligence. When people are involved in accidents, it’s usually a time of confusion, anxiety and pain and seldom do they wonder “Should I hire a personal injury lawyer?”

But in fact, the moments immediately following an accident are extremely critical in legal terms as a lot of evidence can be lost with the passage of time.

Contact a top-rated accident lawyer if you or a dear one has been injured in a motor-vehicle/bicycle collision. The injured victims and families have to undergo huge physical, financial and emotional trauma and those responsible for the accident can be sued for compensation for these losses.

Apart from the criminal case that would inevitably be filed in such cases, injured victims and their family-members are entitled to receive no-fault benefits under their own insurance coverage under Ontario’s Statutory Accident Benefits Scheme. Additionally, they can also file a personal injury claim against the at-fault party under civil laws.

Bicycle-accidents

Ontario insurance regulations mandate that your insurance company and/or the at-fault party’s insurers must be informed within 7 days of the accident. Filing for benefits should be done within 30 days. Keeping these deadlines in mind, it’s wise to hire a top Toronto personal injury lawyer to help you with the complex paperwork.

Even if you believe the injuries to be minor, it’s important to seek medical attention because certain injuries may turn out to be more serious later than previously assumed. You could risk missing a statute-of-limitations time-frame. Our serious injury lawyers can assist you to also conduct independent investigations into the accident to establish liability and the negligence that caused the accident.

Common Injuries

Bicyclists like pedestrians are among the most vulnerable of road-users as our experienced accident injury lawyers available 24×7 are aware. Injuries sustained are usually serious, even if protective gear is worn. They include:

• Traumatic Brain Injury
• Head/neck/spinal-cord damage
• Impact or crush injuries
• Cuts/wounds/lacerations
• Fractures
• Internal bleeding
• Internal organ damage if the vehicle runs over the body
• Paralysis/disability
• Disfigurement
• Death

A report by Ontario’s Chief Coroner in 2012 concluded that all the cycling deaths that occurred in Ontario were “preventable.” Children and the elderly are most at risk. Often, it’s the automobile driver who did not exercise due care, failed to yield, was distracted/drunk/fatigued or failed to notice the cyclist while turning right. In all such cases, they are liable to compensate the injured victims for their fault or negligence.
