Transport Canada statistics for 2013 reveal that a staggering 150,000 motor-vehicle accidents are reported annually and of these, more than 40,000 occurred in Ontario. Most of these accidents resulted in various types of injuries to occupants of the vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists. Injuries could range from cuts/bruises/sprains to serious head/brain/neck/spinal-cord injury, permanent disability and loss of function or even death.
If you or a dear one has been injured in a car accident, it’s important to be aware that accidents are caused by someone’s fault or negligence. The injured undergo physical, emotional and financial losses for which they’re entitled to seek compensation. This is achieved by filing a personal injury claim against the at-fault party preferably with the assistance of an experienced Underwood personal injury lawyer who has previously handled similar cases successfully.
The injured party anyway retains the right to seek compensation from their own insurance company in the form of statutory benefits.
However, these procedures can be highly complex, involving in-depth knowledge and experience in personal injury laws, insurance regulations, traffic and motor vehicle acts etc.
Challenges and Complications
