Motor-vehicle accidents can result in a range of injuries – cuts, bruises, sprains, lacerations etc to severe spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injury, amputation, disability, disfigurement and even death. Though we term them “accidents” these catastrophic events are usually caused by someone’s fault or negligence. The injured victims and their families undergo immense physical, emotional and financial losses. Fortunately, our legal system provides us with the options of seeking compensation for our injuries from those responsible for the accident.
Ontario’s laws also provide statutory no-fault benefits for all injured victims in accidents, regardless of fault.
In both cases, it’s wise to consult an experienced Tecumseh personal injury lawyer before entering into a settlement negotiation with your own insurers and/or the at-fault parties.
Crucial Points To Remember
In the chaos, confusion, pain and/or grief that follow accidents, people are focused on getting immediate medical attention and moving their loved ones to safety. However, certain important measures should be taken to ensure that your legal rights are also protected at this vital juncture.
Getting medical help may seem like the obvious thing to do, but many people feel their injuries are minor and fail to consult a doctor immediately not realizing that they could face serious health issues later. Some injuries like whiplash or internal organ damage mask their seriousness in the early stages. Brain-injury symptoms are also delayed sometimes. It’s important to get a thorough medical work-up done. Tecumseh car accident lawyers can advise you about this.
