Car Accidents and Knee Injuries – What You Should Know

A car accident can result in many different types of injuries. Some of them are minor and don’t require specialized medical attention while others may be serious and life-threatening, cause disabilities or even death.

One of the most common injuries in car accidents is knee injury. This is sometimes over-looked or misdiagnosed, leading to problems much later in life if left untreated. Any injury to the knees can pose a risk to your well-being, mobility, health and fitness and increase your vulnerability to obesity and diabetes etc. Hence, any pain or discomfort in the knees following an accident should be immediately attended to.

Types of knee injury

In broad terms, knee injuries are usually sustained due to direct, blunt impact with the hard parts of the car, such as the dash-board. They could also be due to twisting or excessive extending of the leg. Sprains, strains and tearing of ligaments is common. Bone fracture, kneecap damage, bruising, internal bleeding, tissue and muscle damage, skin lacerations and fabric burns are also common car accident related knee injuries.

ACL Injury: An important ligament that prevents forward motion, supports the knee, stabilizes it and provides mobility is the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). Damage to this ligament can have serious impact on the person’s mobility and they can experience severe pain.

PCL Injury: The Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) is much stronger than its counterpart, the ACL. Though injuries to this are less common, they do happen with severe blunt trauma. This ligament is also supportive of the knee and determines the direction of mobility. PCL and ACL injuries rarely occur in isolation and appear along with other trauma to the knee.

MCL Injury: is caused by damage to the Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) and is one of the most commonly seen knee injuries following a car accident. Patients report a tearing/ripping sensation inside the knee and there is severe bruising and swelling. Twisting injuries to the knee can also cause MCL damage.

Sprains/Strains: Ligament tear, stretch or rupture cause sprains, while muscle/tendon tear, stretch and rupture cause strains. There are three different grades of both Sprains and Strains.

Dislocation: is caused by powerful impact to the knee and is a very hazardous accident. It can result in loss of the limb, serious fall when the knee suddenly flexes etc. If left untreated, the blood supply to the lower part of the leg gets cut off, leading to loss of the limb.

Fracture: is caused by moderate-to-serious impact. It may be open or closed fracture, which may require surgery, cast, immobilization, etc. These injuries heal without too many issues but need to be attended to in time.

Treatment

Knee injuries must be attended to immediately. Ligament, muscle, tendon tears and damage require immobilization, with painkillers to provide relief from pain. Bruising should be monitored to avoid vascular complications. If the victim has arthritis, diabetes, hypertension etc, care should be taken while prescribing medication.

Minor injuries can be managed with the RICE protocol: Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. However, knee injuries are often deceptive in nature and the full impact may not be obvious immediately. Any pain, loss of mobility, stability or discomfort should be reported to your physician as soon as possible.

Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis can result in loss of mobility, loss of the limb, degenerative joint disease, compartment syndrome etc.

Major knee injuries require surgery, cast, immobilization and physiotherapy to restore full functioning.

Obesity, diabetes, hypertension and other life-style diseases are often the direct result of knee injury due to restricted mobility.

Legal Aspects

Premises Liability, Occupier’s Liability and Property Negligence: An Overview

All of us enter a property with the expectation that it is safe and that we will not suffer any injury in it. It is the property owner’s duty to maintain it in such a way that it remains safe. If there are hazards, adequate warning signs should be posted at the right spots. Failing this, the owner is liable and responsible for any incident/injury/accident that takes place on the premises. Hence a visitor who suffers an injury due to unsafe conditions on another person’s property can file a premises liability lawsuit.

Some legal terms defined

Premises: includes domestic and commercial buildings, land, temporary dwellings like caravans/mobile homes, laboratories, farms, spaces demarcated for animals, amusement parks, entertainment areas etc. The term “premises” also includes moving structures like aircraft, vehicles, vessels traveling on water.

A Visitor: in legal terms, is anyone who is on the property temporarily, as an invitee or a licensee. In some states, a trespasser is also considered to be a visitor but any injury suffered by a trespasser falls under a different category and can expect only a lower standard of protection. Visitors may also be those who have entered the premises in the exercise of a right – for instance, police entering a suspect’s home.

Tenants and Occupiers: If a property is rented/leased from an owner, it is presumed that the tenant is responsible for any injuries that happen to people during the tenancy/lessee-ship and this is known as occupier’s liability. However, if the defects or hazards existed before the tenant took over and if the landlord knowingly concealed them, then the liability falls upon the owner and this is considered to be property negligence. When landlords conduct repairs for the tenants, they should be done in a safe and satisfactory manner. Under Ontario law, property owners/occupiers owe all persons who enter their property a “duty of care.”

Examples of situations where premises liability occurs

Some common instances of premises liability include injury due to:

  • Open excavations
  • Slippery ground/floors
  • Uncleared snow/icy walkways
  • Insufficient lighting
  • Falling objects/debris
  • Uneven pavements/driveways
  • Furniture defects
  • Improperly secured carpets/mats/rugs
  • Animal/pet bites
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Swimming pool accidents
  • Restaurant accidents
  • Retail store accidents
  • School-yard/playground injuries
  • Malls, grocery-store, apartment buildings, private homes accidents/injury

What to do when you suffer an injury on another’s property 

Slip and fall injury is the most common premises liability lawsuit that is filed against a property owner/occupier. If you suffer any kind of injury on another person’s property and it is clearly not due to your own fault/negligence, there are some clear steps to be followed:

  • Ensure that the incident/accident/injury is reported immediately to property owner, your insurers, personal injury lawyer and family doctor
  • Make a note of when and to whom reports were made
  • Get immediate medical attention. If you are incapacitated, family members must make the decisions
  • If you can, take pictures of the area
  • Keep all articles that were in your possession during the incident safe, especially your shoes if it is a slip and fall injury
  • Ensure that you make a note of any witnesses present and inform your attorney about them
  • If you are taken to a hospital, provide accurate information about the incident. Keep all reports/receipts.

Toronto Personal Injury Lawyers Discuss Future Care Costs: Predictions and Presumptions

When you or a loved one is involved in a serious car accident, apart from immediate medical attention   and treatment, there is a huge financial component that looms ahead. For the injured person, loss of income and career mean a sudden decline in salary and living expenses which becomes difficult to deal with.   There are also huge costs that may be spread out over a long period and then continue into the future indefinitely. Working out the financial implications correctly can be a daunting if not impossible task to the victim and the family. Future care costs often constitute the largest component of a victim’s injury claim. It is important to understand that future care cost is different from loss of future earning capacity.

Future Care and Life Care Planning

Today, personal injury awards are scaling dizzy heights and getting the numbers right is a daunting task for adjusters and lawyers alike.   One of the first things our serious personal injury lawyers can assess in critical injury cases is whether the costs are directly related to the accident. Our lawyers also work in close collaboration with life care planning experts so that the future of the victim is rendered comfortable. Even after the victim and family recover from the trauma of a catastrophic accident, they will have to incur enormous medical costs from:

  • long-term hospitalization
  • surgery
  • rehabilitation
  • post-traumatic care
  • cost of medication
  • specially adapted furniture and appliances
  • physiotherapy
  • care-givers
  • modification of vehicles
  • modification of residence to accommodate features like wheelchair ramps etc
  • modification of rooms like bathrooms, bedrooms
  • purchase of equipment like wheelchairs/crutches
  • psychological counseling
  • special medical equipment

There are also unquantifiable social and emotional costs.

It is critical that we hire a reputed  Life Care Planner that is a trained and certified person with a medical sciences education either as a doctor, medical professional or nurse. Our expert Life Care Planners  are qualified to work with critically injured accident victims and help them chart out their medical, financial and legal future. They must take testimony from patients, develop a written life care plan which also includes ethical aspects.

The life care plan is a dynamic document that provides for current and future needs and costs. Future needs have to anticipated and documented. In many cases, care is given by the family or friends and it may be difficult to put a value on this. However, the quantum of damages cannot be reduced just because of voluntary or benevolent care.

Compensation

Under Canadian law, “full compensation” is of paramount concern of the courts in the case of severely injured victims. The care setting that is of best advantage to the victim is what should be awarded and no plaintiff should be forced to accept a lesser standard of care. Hence, a high standard of care is what every victim must expect after being severely injured and should conform to what the person would have experienced had they not been injured.

Even when a spouse, parent or other family member or friend provides voluntary care, the extent of the claim cannot be reduced. The damages claimed must reflect the real nature of this care and how much it would have cost if a professional care-giver was employed. Additionally, voluntary care may not be available in future and all compensation must reflect this reality.

How Our Personal Injury Lawyers Can Help Car Accident Victims Who Suffer From A Critical Injury

In most cases, critically injured victims are unaware of the fact that they can claim future costs as well as current ones. Our team of experienced lawyers can put together the best possible future claim that balances costs and rehabilitation methods, possible return to employment, employer’s liability and finally the payout of benefits.

Mississauga Personal injury Lawyer Answers Important Questions about Accident Benefit Claims

Mississauga personal injury lawyers, Singh Barristers represents car accident victims all across Ontario.   If you or your loved ones have been injured in a car accident either as driver or pedestrian, you may be entitled to financial compensation while you are recovering. The Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SASB) regulates the benefits which are standardized in the insurance sector. The SASB provides benefits regardless of fault and covers benefits to you, your passengers or pedestrians injured in an accident.

Anyone who is affected by an accident must get legal advice from our Mississauga personal injury lawyer who has expertise and knowledge of motor vehicle laws. Apart from SASB benefits you can also make a tort claim for damages (compensation from the person/s responsible for the accident.)

Some of the most commonly asked questions about accident benefits claims are:

Am I eligible for accident benefits?

If you have been injured in a car accident or someone who is related or dependent on you is injured in an accident, you can claim accident benefits to help you cope with the physical and psychological trauma. These benefits are meant for treatment, care and replacement of income suffered as a result of injuries sustained in the accident. You must contact a car accident lawyer or a personal injury lawyer immediately apart from your insurance company. There are three main types of injuries:

  • Minor
  • Catastrophic
  • Non-catastrophic

It’s important that your injury gets categorized correctly as it can affect your claim and make a significant difference to your rights.

If you cannot work at the same pace/level as you used to before the accident, you can claim benefits within a period of two years. You may have been employed or self-employed and receiving employment insurance benefits at the time.

What are some of the Statutory Accident Benefits?

Under current laws, statutory accident benefits include:

  • Income replacement benefits
  • Care-giver benefits
  • House-keeping and home maintenance benefits
  • Non-earner benefits
  • Medical and Rehabilitation benefits
  • Reports costs including costs of assessments and examinations
  • Attendant care benefits
  • Dependent care benefits
  • Death/Funeral expenses
  • Optional benefits
  • Certain other benefits like replacement of damaged spectacles, dentures, hearing aids, prostheses, medical assistive devices, clothing etc
  • Indexation benefits

However, everyone does not automatically qualify for all these benefits since each has its own qualifying criteria.

What are the important facts to know about claiming accident benefits?

Apart from reporting the accident to the relevant authorities, specifying the damages to property/vehicle/person, you should report injuries to the insurance company as quickly as possible. This report should be made within seven days of the accident. The insurer will provide you with a Form OCF-1, which must be filled and returned to them within 30 days.

Are there any exclusions? 

Insurance companies typically deny claims for income replacement, non-earner and other benefits if the driver knowingly did not have a valid driver’s license. If the driver was specifically excluded from your insurance company’s policy, or the passengers/driver specifically knew that the vehicle was being driven without the owner’s consent, and/or is engaged in a crime, then your claims may be contested by the insurance company.

Do I need a lawyer?

This section of the law is extremely dynamic and there are frequent amendments and new legislation. Our free consultation injury lawyers can help you understand the legal aspects of your claim and also put together a strong claim. You may or may not have insurance, or the other party may or may not have insurance and this factor is not relevant as far as claiming benefits is concerned. Our lawyers can complete all the requisite paperwork, handle your statutory benefits claims and deal with your insurers.

It is mistakenly assumed that your insurance company will be of assistance. However, in reality, their mandate is to benefit their own organization and hence they may not actively pursue your case. You require the services of a pro-active legal team to derive maximum benefits and handle all aspects of your case from start to finish. Our lawyers work on your behalf to protect your rights and interests.

When should I call a lawyer?

In general, minor accident claims are settled relatively quickly but if you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, if death has been caused in an accident, if serious vehicular/property damage was caused, you need immediate legal assistance. If a pedestrian was injured, road conditions were a factor, the accident occurred in a construction zone, you’re being faulted wrongly or you don’t understand your/the other party’s insurance company policies, you must get expert legal advice.

Liquor Liability: Social and Commercial Hosts

Having a glass of wine or two does not seem to hurt anyone until a mishap happens especially on the roads as DUI cases. Drunk drivers are common on special occasions and the holiday season where many consumers release restraint on alcohol consumption until it is too late.

Our well established legal firm has skilled and qualified personal injury lawyers who can assist in such predicaments. We are experienced and well versed with the stringent DUI laws and penalties that could be imposed on social and commercial hosts.

Legal Obligations of Social Hosts and Commercial Hosts

The question that begs to be answered as presented by DUI victims or loved ones is who should be held responsible for the calamity that befell the victim. What are the legal implications and avenues which are open to DUI victims and loved ones who plan to sue the responsible party for their mishap? A DUI case in Ontario could be very vague as socially responsible parties could include:

  • Party hosts
  • Corporate managers
  • Tavern operators
  • Drinkers

The province of Ontario develops clear guidelines on various obligations by possible responsible parties that supply or allow alcoholic contents in their private functions or premises. Such social hosts or commercial hosts are obligated to ensure the safety of their guests who drink and drive. Many adverse mishaps occurred as a result of liquor liability which turned into heavily litigated lawsuits that are costly to insurance companies  of the defendant.

Commercial Hosting on Liquor Liability 

It is common for businesses to host dinners, functions, parties and celebrations as part of their corporate activities which tend to allow a free flow of alcohol amongst guests or participants. However, an over indulgence of alcohol at these events could lead to undesirable automobile accidents that are classified as DUI cases in Ontario.

Many DUI defendants who were charged in DUI cases were found to fail certain tests that verify their clarity of mind and judgment in driving. The intoxicated defendants would need professional legal counsel specializing in commercial host liability. Our skilled Mississauga car accident lawyer or personal injury lawyer in Toronto should be consulted in Ontario DUI cases.

A commercial host liability is different from that of employer or social host liability with varying specifics in the Liquor License Act that compel taverns or liquor suppliers to comply when serving liquor in public. This statutory framework lists a clear statutory duty of care which must be sustained in any commercial host liability lawsuit defense.

The Act on Liquor Licensing states a clearly defined statutory obligation on commercial hosts in Section 39 where:

  • Anyone selling liquor to a member of the public whose condition is deemed to be likely intoxicated by the liquor served to incur personal injury on self or others or their property would be liable to be charged under the provincial law.
  • Anyone intoxicated from liquor sold who causes personal injury or damage to a third party or property would be liable to compensate the injured party.

The commercial liability law in Ontario collaborates with the Liquor License Act Section 39 to charge DUI defendants for causing undue injury or damage to a victim in an unfortunate DUI incident. Not only would DUI defendants be charged but also the commercial provider of liquor to the DUI defendant who caused the injury on another.

Social Hosting on Liquor Liability

Private home or corporate parties which serve alcohol are known to be social hosts who could be held liable for their drunken guests after the event should a mishap on the road occurs. The Ontario law is changing its stance to implicate private hosts on DUI cases where guests are known to be intoxicated from alcoholic serving.

Social hosts must be extra cautious about their guests getting behind the wheel if they had been drinking during the function. The Supreme Court of Canada may impose the same strictness in penalties and charges on the social hosts as well as on the DUI defendants if the personal injury incurred by the accident is deemed serious.

Victims who have been injured by a DUI driver and social hosts should consult our qualified and experienced personal injury lawyers for a free consultation with regards to filing a lawsuit against the defendants.  While the DUI defendants have a high responsibility towards the auto incident and personal injury imposed on the innocent, social hosts may be implicated if the Ontario Court finds evidence of their failure to prevent the DUI defendant from driving after drinking.

Settling extreme sports injuries out of court

Canadians are fun-loving people who love the outdoors with a passion for life and adventure as they explore the beauty of our vast land. Many individuals indulge in extreme sports for a kick out of it besides the fun and adventure such sports offer. It is not surprising then to have many facilities and service providers sprouting in Ontario offering extreme sports equipment, facilities and lessons to extreme sports enthusiasts.

Types of Extreme Sports  

Many amateur sportsman do not realize the potential dangers and risks with all forms of exercise and outdoor activities such as:

  • Mountain biking
  • Rock climbing
  • (water) skiing
  • Kayaking
  • Boating
  • Cycling
  • ATV riding
  • Surfing

All extreme sports are known to be activities that contain a high level of risks and danger as they involve:

  • High speed
  • Great heights
  • High physical exertion
  • Highly specialized gear

Dangers and Risks with Extreme Sports

Great skills and knowledge must be present with a high dose of confidence in carrying out extreme sports safely after hours of safe practices. Yet, danger lurks everywhere and comes without warning many a times to strike even the most prepared athlete. Amateur and expert athletes enjoy the moment of thrill as they indulge in these sports regardless of the danger or risks at hand. They may be properly attired but personal injuries are still possible to a certain degree even if death is avoided.

The high risk or danger level with extreme sports does not discourage the growing number of participants. But when personal injuries happen, you would want to have an experienced Toronto injury lawyer on your side when you suffer from an injury.  Many extreme sports incur serious injuries which go unreported as it is not a legal or authoritative requirement. Hence, the government and consumers are unaware of the increasing number of personal injuries incurred through extreme sports except from hospitals that treat these patients and lawyers who are engaged to represent them in personal injury litigation cases.

Toronto Personal Injury Lawyers Discuss Femur Shaft Fractures

Although the femur or thigh-bone is known to be very sturdy as the longest bone in the body, it is still subject to fractures caused by heavy weights and forces. An car accident is a major cause for femur fractures where the femoral shaft is broken.

Possible Femoral Shaft Fractures in Personal Injury Cases 

The femur bone could break at any point along its length. It could be a simple displacement, an open or closed fracture. Your doctor would classify the fracture according to:

  • its location – distal, middle, proximal
  • its pattern – length-wise, cross-wise, middle
  • its tear on the skin and muscle

Femoral shaft fractures include:

  • Transverse fracture which is a horizontal line crack along the shaft
  • Oblique fracture which is an angled line across the femur shaft
  • Spiral fracture which are stripes encircling the shaft
  • Comminuted fracture where the femur is broken in several places
  • Open fracture where the bone fragments stick out of the skin

Such femur fractures are usually caused by a high-energy collision that brought on a high force such as:

  • An auto accident
  • Falls from heights
  • Gunshots
  • Very weak bones

An intense pain sears through the body with a femoral shaft fracture that prevents you from putting any weight on the leg which may look deformed.

Legal Assistance for Fracture Recovery

It is crucial to undergo a thorough medical checkup when you experience pain in your leg after a personal injury. With relevant information, the doctor would be able to determine more accurately the extent of the personal injury to prescribe the best treatment and medication. Our team of personal injury lawyers are available to discuss possible lawsuits that you may be able to institute to recover damages.

It is likely that the doctor would recommend you to go through some imaging tests that include:

  • X-rays
  • CT scan
  • MRI

Femoral shaft fractures could be rectified with or without surgery. Surgery options are costly with higher risks which patients need to consider possible complications. Many would opt for non-invasive surgeries where possible such as a cast, traction and complete bed rest. Hospital bills may spike even with non-surgery treatments which may burden the patient. Our skilled and experienced Toronto Personal injury Lawyer are well versed in filing insurance claims or lawsuits to secure the required damages  for covering such costly recovery procedures.

Many femur fractures take between 4 and 6 months for a complete healing depending on the severity of the case. Our Toronto car accident lawyer  could put forward a claims proposal that would cover those long months of healing which may require physical therapy along the way to restore muscle strength and joint motion. Our Toronto  injury lawyers are well versed with the necessary processes in making an effective claim on femur fractures regardless of the severity and cause. Our lawyers are aggressive and dynamic in negotiations with third parties in securing your rightful claims of compensation to put you in a steady financial standing with femur fractures and healing processes. Our experienced Toronto Personal Injury Lawyers have settled millions of dollars in personal injury cases.

Being Prepared for Healing Complications on Femur Fractures

Our lawyers may not be medical professions but their exposure and experience in femoral shaft fractures and the healing processes suffice to equip them with the right course of action that benefits our clients facing femur fracture complications. We would engage our own medical experts  and biomechanics experts in analyzing and determining the condition and potential healing complications that might incur more time and cost on the patient.

Our hospital injury lawyer is at hand to track the medical procedures and treatments rendered that might cause complications on the healing process. Surgical complications could set in to invoke higher costs which must be borne by the patient if no insurance claim is advanced.   We have an excellent hospital negligence lawyer to ensure that there is no negligence in the surgery or healing process for your quick recovery on femur fractures.

We would have our disability claims lawyer to discuss and negotiate with your insurance company or the third party’s insurance representative in claiming potential damages that would fund your hospital bills for a full recovery.

Further Immeasurable Claims

A femur shaft fracture could bring on other types of suffering which cannot be quantifiable measured. These include:

  • Trauma
  • Emotional distress
  • Mental anguish
  • Physical pain
  • Humiliation
  • Inconvenience

We are confident that our personal injury attorney is able to secure the best of financial compensation for you to recover fully.

Testimonies from Expert Witnesses in Personal Injury Cases

The success of a personal injury case in the Ontario courts depends partly on the availability of proper bio mechanics on auto accidents that require the evidence of an expert witness. You, the plaintiff, and the defendant would require such qualified experts to analyze your personal injury mechanics to prove or dismiss the case.

Role of Biomechanics

In an auto accident that caused the plaintiff injuries, it is best to hire a skilled personal injury attorney who is well versed with the tedious and complex processes of the legal case. Our qualified and experienced personal injury lawyers are well connected with expert accident reconstruction engineers who are apt in quantifying the auto accident dynamics of the plaintiff with specially appointed qualified medical doctors to diagnose and treat your personal injuries that would provide the best of evidence in supporting your personal injury litigation case.

Both professions would offer their expert opinions regarding the underlying injury mechanism and causation that would benefit the case when rightly handled by our experienced and dynamic personal injury legal experts. Both professions collaborate to generate great synergy even if reconstruction engineers may be lacking in formal training in physiology, anatomy and injury mechanics and medical doctors lack formal training in occupant loading, tissue tolerance to injury or the best of engineering mechanics.

We also engage experts in injury biomechanics who are well versed with kinesiology and injury mechanics to understand the testing of injured biological tissues in a personal injury case.  Our injury biomechanics expert is skilled in understanding the biomechanics of personal injury with the combination of medical and engineering knowledge to provide accurate insights on the specifics of injury mechanism, acceleration, kinematics, driver identification and restraint use. New technologies today coupled with intensive research studies equip our biomechanical experts thoroughly to assist our accident injury lawyers in performing the right analysis of auto accidents for our clients.

Boosting Personal Injury Cases with Expert Witnesses

Although an auto accident case stands a higher chance of success in the Ontario Supreme Court with eyewitnesses to the accident, stronger witnesses to spike the success rate of the case would be expert witnesses in biomechanics. Our biomechanics experts are able to reconstruct the auto accident to help our personal injury lawyers prepare their legal presentation professionally in winning your personal injury litigation case.

These biomechanics experts are skilled in identifying neck sprains and strains known as whiplash injuries that are common in auto accidents. You may not notice the effects of whiplash injuries immediately after the accident but the injuries could lead on to long-term disability. Our free consultation injury lawyer is always available to evaluate your personal injury case meticulously with the input from reliable biomechanics experts in activating the legal processes for a successful handling of your case. Our experienced lawyers are able to determine the viability of your personal injury to be a successful personal injury litigation case.

Such relevant findings would allow our litigation lawyers to present a solid case before the judge for a favorable compensation at the hearing unless an out-of-court settlement is agreed by the defendant.

Preventable injury and its Implications

Many ordinary Canadians are unclear of the exact definition of ‘injury’ as it relates to a personal injury insurance claim.   But our personal injury lawyers would clarify the term simply to be any physical damage caused by sudden impact that could result in more intense injuries in the long run. Hence, an injured accident victim may not know the extent of injury caused in a presumably minor accident that includes:

  • Slips and falls
  • Auto accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Bike accidents
  • Dog bites

Preventable Injuries that are Costly

Many personal injuries could lead on to heavy medical expenses due to the required long term medication, expensive medical treatments and therapies, health care supplements and even surgeries in serious injury cases.

Statistics revealed a rising number of deaths of Canadians below 44 years from an injury that could have been prevented. A high percentage of these injuries required hospitalizations and expensive treatments which proved to be burdensome to many Canadian patients. Long term physical pain with mental disabilities was notable in many personal injury patients. Our strong team of personal injury lawyers are  experienced and aggressive in assisting you with personal injury claims and compensation that would help ease heavy financial costs.

This duration is a set Ontario statute established in the provinces’s Limitations Act, 2002. It is difficult to extend the statutes limitation period. Many personal injury cases have been ‘struck out’ by insurers or responsible parties to the accident when personal injury victims or representatives sue outside the stipulated limitation period; even if the excuse was reasonable such as the victim did not display serious disadvantages earlier due to the accident.

HOW A MINOR CAR ACCIDENT CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS WIPLASH INJURY

Car accident victims in the Greater Toronto Area are always susceptible to a motor vehicle accident. Millions of Toronto drivers either drive their vehicle daily or are passengers in a vehicle. Then there those who ride a bicycle, motorcycle or walk to work daily. With a heavy traffic volume it is no surprise that motor vehicle accidents occur by the thousands daily all across Ontario.

While some of these car accidents are minor others can be quite serious although the impact and the property damage to the vehicle may not have been serious at all. In this short article we will deal with the various types of soft tissue injuries that an accident victim can suffer if injured in a car accident. If you are an occupant injured in a vehicle or a pedestrian struck by a car it is important to know your rights and understand you injuries.

An injury caused by a car accident can cause sever pain and discomfort and loss of wages and other amenities of life due to someone’s negligence. The injuries are caused to ligaments, tendons, and muscles of various parts of the body and these are typically referred to as “soft tissue injuries”. An accident victim usually experiences no pain immediately after the accident because of shock or the car accident victim is rushed to hospital by ambulance.

The common types of soft tissue injuries include but are not limited to :

• Sprains: which is damage to the ligaments that is caused by over extension of a particular joint;
• Contusions: which are bruises;
• Strains: which is the over use or stretching of a muscle or tendons.

A car accident victim can experience extreme pain and discomfort in the days following the collision. This is caused due to the impact that occurs when a vehicle collides with another vehicle or a stationary object. Depending on the nature and severity of the collision, it can cause the occupant to be thrown about violently inside the vehicle, often times striking the inside of the vehicle.

WHIPLASH ASSOCIATED INJURY

Car accident victims most often suffer from some sort of whiplash associated disorder immediately following an accident. Whiplash injuries are often referred to by doctors as cervical strains or hyper extension injuries. Motor vehicle accident victims who suffer an injury from a rear end collision will most often than not suffer from a whiplash which occurs when the severe impact from a rear end collision pushes your head violently backwards and then violently forward.

Car accident victims often experience the following symptoms which are very common in rear end collisions :

• Mild, moderate or severe stiffness of the neck
• Mild, moderate or severe sharp pain in the neck
• Mild, moderate or severe pain on the upper, mid or lower back
• Cognitive difficulties including poor memory, poor concentration and difficulty paying attention

MEDICAL ATTENTION

If is very important following a motor vehicle accident for the accident victim to get immediate medical attention. It is very difficult to sometimes diagnose a soft tissue injury which can sometimes take days before the symptoms occur. Those accident victims who are taken to hospital by ambulance will undergo X-Rays. Unfortunately these X-Rays are often times unable to show any injury at all.

It is for this reason that it is critical that the accident victim seek immediate professional medical attention either at a walk-in-clinic or family doctor even thought they visited the hospital following the accident. Seeing your family doctor immediately after an accident will be important in diagnosing and treating injuries that were not apparent when X-Rays were taken at the hospital.

Remember when you make your claim for accident benefits to your insurance company or if you claim damages against the at-fault driver’s insurance company for pain and suffering, past and future loss of income, loss of competitive advantage at the workplace, loss of housekeeping capacity, future medical and rehabilitation costs and other out of pocket expenses, all the records of you family doctor, hospital and physiotherapy treatment will be used as evidence to support your injuries and claim for damages.

PROVING WHO WAS AT FAULT

Sometimes proving who was at fault for the accident can be a difficult task. Police are often called to the scene of an accident and they would routinely question all parties involved and determine who was the at fault driver and that person would usually be given a ticket. Often times this can be difficult due to weather conditions conflicting statements of witness or the drivers and the police does not give any driver a ticket.

How do Insurance Companies Set Reserves to Pay Out On a Claim?

When accident victims are seriously injured in a car accident many of them are unaware that their insurance company is under a legal obligation to set sufficient reserves to pay out on the personal injury claim. The Canadian insurance industry took a beating during the past several decades and experienced the worst year in 1981 because of inadequate reserves were set giving rise to significant losses. Over the past few decades many insurance companies went out of business and this caused the Canadian government to step in and regulate the insurance industry. The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Act became law in 1985 with the sole purpose of regulating financial institutions and to establish the public’s confidence in the insurance companies.

Insurance companies had to now ensure that their practices complied with the regulatory guidelines by making sure that they had enough reserves to pay out on an insurance claim. Each and every insurance company doing business in Canada has to ensure that it has adequate funds that are set aside to meet insurance claims. So when you file a claim to an insurance company after being injured in a motor-vehicle accident the insurance adjuster is under a legal obligation to investigate the claim, the facts and circumstances of the accident, the injuries and impairments suffered by the accident victim and set aside an amount of money to pay out on the claim at the appropriate time. There are different formulas that insurance adjusters use for deciding on what amount would be an adequate reserve to pay out on a claim. In is important to note that the insurance adjuster is under no legal duty to disclose the reserve amount to your lawyer handling you accident claim.

At Singh Barristers when an accident victim has suffered significant injuries, our lawyers will always investigate the claim without delay by discussing the facts and circumstances of the car accident, the mechanics of the injury, the extent of the property damage to your vehicle, whether an ambulance was called to the scene, what treatment, if any was provided by the paramedics at scene of the accident, what treatment the injured victim received at the hospital, did the accident victim follow up with the family doctor, what medications was prescribed, was there any x-rays taken and the results thereof, was any rehabilitation treatment recommended by the family doctor, and so on. The purpose of a very detailed evaluation at the early stage of the accident is crucial to ensuring that adequate reserves are set by an insurance adjuster handling your claim.

If you are injured in a car accident you can be rest assured that our personal injury lawyers meticulously prepare a statutory declaration setting out all the relevant and crucial information that is required by an insurance adjuster to set the adequate reserve to

settle your claim. In addition to the statutory declaration our lawyers provide regular updates to an insurance adjuster, such as, results of x-rays and MRI’s, medical prescriptions, family doctors notes and records, hospital records etc., to ensure that as the case develops and more injuries and impairments are diagnosed, the adjuster is fully aware of this and he/she adjusts the reserves to adequately meet the claim. Our car accident lawyers understand how the reserves work and we take all steps that are necessary to make sure that our clients are protected and receive a fair and just settlement of their personal injury claim. For example, when an accident victim consults with one of our personal injury lawyers he or she would be asked questions such as:

1) The date, time and weather conditions of the accident; 2) The approximate speed that the at fault driver was driving; 3) Was the other driver under the influence of any alcohol; 4) Was the other driver distracted by a cell phone or intervening with his radio cd/player or distracted by the passenger of the vehicle; 5) The mechanics of the injuries and impairments experienced immediately at the scene, at the hospital and the family doctors office; 6) The potential damages that are to be claimed; 7) Was the accident victim partly to blame for the accident; 8) Did the accident victim wear a safety belt at the time of the collision; 9) Will there be any defense that would be available to the at fault driver; 10) Was there any independent witnesses at the scene of the accident; 11) Was the other charged; 12) Did the at fault driver remain on the scene of the accident or did he run away; 13) Did the accident victim suffer from any pre-existing health conditions which would have been aggravated by the accident; 14) Will there be a claim for any punitive damages etc. 15) Did the accident victim die as a result of the injuries; 16) The number of dependents of the deceased; 17) The earning capacity of the deceased, etc.

The above list is not exhaustive and each case will depend on the facts and circumstance of the accident. The main aim of a detailed evaluation and investigation immediately after an accident is to ensure that proper reserves are set. Far too often cases become difficult to settle because inadequate information was provided by the accident victim’s lawyer to the adjuster who then set low reserves. An insurance adjuster will be happy to settle a claim at slightly below the reserve amount, provided however that sufficient information was provided on behalf of the injured victims by their lawyer. Our lawyers are fully aware of the advantages of having the insurance adjuster appraised of the accident victim’s condition by providing regular medical updates, assessments and medical reports by the family doctor to ensure that reserves are adjusted from time

and we have a team of the best forensic reconstruction experts and Brampton truck accident lawyer in Canada to assist in determining who was at fault. A truck accident can be very complicated especially when you are dealing with a tractor-trailer that struck a vehicle killing its occupants and there are no independent witnesses.

Brampton truck accident victims need to know that there could be more than one person responsible for the truck accident. Potential defendants in a serious truck accident could be, the truck driver, the truck owner,

The product vaginal estrace but have for website off!

the owner of the trailer, the leasing company that leased the truck and the shipping company responsible for the goods that were in transit in the truck. We often see cases where there are several insurance companies who will dispute among themselves who will compensate the injured victims for the damages suffered as a result of the truck accident. Some tucking companies will do all they can to try and avoid liability. They do this by obtaining permits to operate the truck but they do not own the truck or tractor-trailer that hauls the goods.

The trucking company will then subcontract the “load” to an “owner/operator” who is required to take out his own insurance, which in some cases is the minimum required by law. This means that the truck driver may have coverage for $250 000, which may not be enough to cover any serious personal injury claim which can cost millions. The truck driver is then given a “placard” which is fixed to the trucks door which will have the trucking companies name on it. An innocent observer will think that the truck is owned by ABC company when in fact it is not. If the truck is involved in an accident and seriously injures or kills someone, the company will argue that it does not own the truck or employ the driver.

Trucks can weigh between 10 000 to 100 000 pounds and if involved in an accident the truck can inflict serious injuries to accident victims. The common types of truck injuries include, head trauma, catastrophic brain injury, concussion, subdural hematoma, bleeding in the brain lining, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, serious neck injuries, serious fractures, burns, scarring , deformity, and emotional trauma. An accident victim involved in a serious truck accident can take years to fully recover and unfortunately some die as a direct result of the injuries that they sustain in the collision.

Singh Barristers has a wide range of forensic experts who have years of experience in reconstruction of the accident scene and determining the role that each vehicle played in the accident. Our vehicle engineers, road engineers, biomechanical experts will be able to tell a jury how the accident happened, which vehicle caused the accident, whether the mechanics of the injury is consistent with the facts of the accident, an evaluation of the vehicles safety features and the role it played in the crash, was all drivers reasonably attentive, could the truck driver have reduced the seriousness of the impact by taking evasive action when he was first alerted to the danger and so on.

Our forensic engineers will be able to tell a host of technical details of the truck moments before impact by using the technical data stored in the trucks, such as speed, brake and throttle use, moments

a motor vehicle accident in Ontario, then you are not alone. Thousands of drivers, passengers, motor-cyclists, cyclists and pedestrians are injured in an accidents each year. Often times accident victims do not know their legal rights and have difficulty with their insurer when filing their claim for Statutory Accident Benefits. Many accident claims are denied because the injured victim did not follow the rules and regulations when filing an accident claim. Almost every person is entitled to accident benefits if they have been injured in a car accident.

As an accident victim you may have more than one policy that will cover your claim for accident benefits in the event that you were injured in a vehicle accident. What is important to know however is that you will lose your right to claim accident benefits if you were breaking the law. This means that you will not be entitled to receive benefits for lost wages, non-earner benefits, lost education expenses, visitors expenses and housekeeping and home maintenance benefits if at the time of the vehicle collision you:

wefundcase 1) Drove without a valid driver’s license; 2) Knew or should have known that you were driving the vehicle without the owner’s consent; 3) Whilst a passenger, knew or should have known that the driver of the vehicle did not obtain the owner’s consent to drive his/her vehicle; 4) Drove the vehicle without a valid policy of insurance; 5) Drove the vehicle whilst under the influence of intoxicating alcohol or drugs and refuse to consent to a breath sample; 6) Drove the vehicle in order to commit a crime; 7) Knowing provided false and misleading information to your insurer when applying for a policy for auto insurance.

What Accident Benefits Am I Entitled To?

Under the Ontario’s standard auto insurance policy insured persons are entitled to accident benefits irrespective of who was at fault for the accident. The SABS, (Statutory Accident Benefits) was promulgated under Ontario’s Insurance Act to provide coverage to accidents victims who were injured as a result of a motor-vehicle collision. In addition to the standard auto insurance policy, an insured person can obtain addition coverage for benefits that are not covered in the standard auto insurance policy, for example, housekeeping and home maintenance benefits. Before you file a claim for accidents benefits with your insurance company, make sure you are familiar with which type of policy you have purchased.

Medical And Rehabilitation Benefits

Car accidents can be devastating no matter how minor your injuries. It is comforting to know that accident victims who suffer from minor injuries are still entitled to medical and rehabilitation benefits. If you have been the victim of a car accident you will be entitled to payment for your reasonable and necessary medical and rehabilitation expenses that is not covered by OHIP or any other medical insurance. Unfortunately the recent amendments to the SABS has capped medical and rehabilitation benefits for minor injuries to $3500, 00. (Within the MIG). For injuries that are more serious, (but not catastrophic) accident victims are entitled to coverage of up to $50 000, 00. (Out of the MIG). This amount includes the costs of all medical assessments and examination that is incurred by the injured victim. Our lawyers are not happy with the changes as they limit the benefits available to accident victims that are genuinely and seriously injured in a car accident.

Attendant Care Benefits

Unfortunately some accident victims suffer serious injuries as a result of car accident. As a result they are unable to perform their personal care activities, such as, bathing, grooming, dressing and undressing, feeding etc. It is recommended that an occupational therapy in-home assessment be done as soon as possible after a serious motor vehicle accident to assess the monthly attendant care needs. In a non-catastrophic case you are entitled to attendant care benefits of up to $3000, 00 per month. In a catastrophic case you are entitled to an amount of up to $6000, 00 per month. Because the regulations keep changing from time to time, we recommend that you speak to our serious personal injury lawyers for a free consultation about your entitlement to attendant care benefits as well as other benefits under the SABS. We have a team of medical and rehabilitation experts who will be able to properly assess your entitlement to these benefits if you have suffered from serious injuries.
