Accidents are usually caused by someone’s fault or negligence. They result in a variety of injuries and damages, leading to financial, physical, emotional, social burden on the victim and their families/dependents. Such victims are entitled to receive compensation from those responsible for the accident and a Thedford personal injury lawyer can assist them with filing a personal injury claim for compensation.
The Personal Injury Claim Process
Since claims are settled by insurance companies, it’s important to know whether the at-fault party has enough insurance coverage or the right type of coverage for your injuries. A top personal injury lawyer in Ontario can help you evaluate your claim and discover whether you could actually collect damages from them. In many cases, your own insurance coverage may be adequate enough to cover your injuries. However, dealing with insurance companies, whether they’re yours or the at-fault party’s, can be challenging and a Thedford car accident lawyer or Thedford slip and fall accident lawyer can represent you in all negotiations and communications with insurers and their claims adjusters.
Discuss your case with an experienced personal injury attorney without delay. Claims are subject to statute of limitations rules and delays could result in your claim, however valid, being dismissed.
Trial or Out-of-Court Settlement?
Most personal injury claims are settled out of court, through negotiations and both sides presenting their points of view backed by evidence. Our accident injury lawyers can conduct independent investigations, gather evidence and witness testimony, experts, etc to put together a robust claim for the best possible result.
A complaint must be filed and served on the defendant. This has to be in the prescribed format, at the right venue/jurisdiction and within the applicable time limits. Time is given to the defendant to get legal representation and pre-trial litigation commences, with the discovery and exchange of relevant information. At any stage, the parties can choose to settle the matter on mutually agreed terms. If however, negotiations break down, the case goes to trial. A lengthy appeals process may follow.
Injured victims must know how to find a personal injury lawyer who can conduct negotiations and also take the case to trial if required.
