When motor-vehicle accidents happen, there may be several types of consequences. People may be seriously injured, die or suffer severe burns or permanent disability. On the other hand, they may suffer minor injuries like bruises, fractures, cuts and lacerations etc. There may be damage to property like your vehicle and goods inside. Accidents also cause great emotional and mental trauma. Loss of income or career, care, guidance and companionship are other factors. All victims of accidents are entitled to seek compensation from those responsible. In many cases, there may be more than one person/agency responsible and it could include a whole chain of authority. A Toronto personal injury lawyer can help to establish liability and ensure that compensation is paid out.

It’s important to inform a Toronto 24×7 injury lawyer as soon as possible following the accident. This is because once the insurance agencies are informed, they would be sending their representatives to the hospital or homes of the injured person to collect as much information as possible about the accident. The success of a compensation claim depends on the proof of liability or fault and the direct cause and effect relationship between the fault or negligence and the accident. The more clear the liability, the less chances are available for insurers to deny, delay or dismiss your claim. You also have better chances for a quick and satisfactory settlement. However, as Toronto car accident lawyers are aware, in most cases, clear liability may be less easy to establish. It calls for expert testimony, access to police and traffic records, eye-witnesses etc. Insurers may also try to get victims to make a quick and meager settlement which does not compensate them fully for future medical expenses and loss of income/wages.

Toronto free consultation lawyers can provide a thorough, swift and genuine evaluation of your personal injury case that would make it easier to negotiate with the insurance companies. It’s also important to ensure that everything has been correctly handled, such as appropriate/best medical treatment etc from the victim’s side to avoid denial of claims due to failure of duty to mitigate. Once the liability has been clearly established, it would be difficult for them to deny your claims. Framing this liability in the context of your injuries and the damage that the accident has caused to you and your family both mentally and physically can be done by an experienced lawyer.
