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.
