Issues and Challenges
Personal injury cases are based on the concept of negligence and in the case of slip and fall injuries, the complainant must prove that the premises-owner was negligent in ensuring safe conditions on the property. Oak Orchard slip and fall accident lawyers can conduct independent investigations into the conditions that caused your accident and assemble a robust case based on photographic evidence, witness testimony, medical records, property maintenance records, etc.
It can also be difficult to prove the exact ownership of properties, because they may be owned by multiple people, trusts, organizations, agencies, governments, individuals etc and they may also be leased or rented by others. In such cases, our experienced personal injury lawyers can help unravel the chain of responsibility in your case.
Another major issue in such cases is to comply with the highly complex legal and insurance system in Ontario. Each province has its own regulations regarding personal injury cases and one of them is the statute of limitations.
It’s important to know how to select the best personal injury lawyer in such cases, since they must be familiar with not only personal injury laws but also insurance regulations. The statute of limitations rules in Ontario the general time-period within which to file a claim is two years. However, notifying your insurance company and the at-fault party of your intentions to file a claim could be governed by different time-frames. A top-rated accident lawyer with expertise in this sector would be well-versed with the changing regulations, amendments, revocations etc in laws.
It’s important not to delay filing the claim, but it’s equally important to get a comprehensive diagnosis of your injuries and their severity before doing so.
