It’s important that accident victims and their families remain alert and vigilant in the moments following an accident. Getting medical help immediately is essential and they also need to get in touch with a Waterloo personal injury lawyer as early as possible. This is to ensure that their rights and interests are protected during such a vulnerable period. Accidents are caused due to another person’s negligence or fault and victims are entitled to seek compensation for the injuries caused by the accident. Under Canada’s no-fault insurance policies accident victims regardless of fault are entitled to statutory benefits to cover medical expenses, hospitalization, loss of income etc. However, this amount may be insufficient in the case of serious injuries, long-term disability, etc. Our Waterloo car accident lawyer and Waterloo slip and fall accident lawyer can assist victims and their families to file a personal injury claim to help them to bear the financial burden.
Car accidents are caused by impaired or distracted drivers, bad weather, poorly-maintained or unfamiliar roads, rash/risky behavior, road-rage, mechanical or tire defects etc. Slip and fall accidents are caused by poorly-maintained, poorly-lit premises, lack of warning signs, defective footwear, nursing-home neglect, poor on-the-job-training etc. In all these cases, liability of those responsible for the accident has to be clearly established and our personal injury lawyers can assist you with this. We conduct independent investigations into the circumstances of the case, access documentary/CCTV footage evidence, ensure that your claim is backed by eye-witness testimony if available, and by domain experts in medicine, automotive engineering, etc. Along with this, our Waterloo injury lawyers make sure that claims are filed within specified deadlines, at the right venue and are accompanied by the correct paperwork to ensure that they meet filing specifications.
In some cases, victims may be approached directly to make a quick settlement outside of the legal process. However, this could be risky, because some seemingly minor injuries could turn out to be more serious in future. Our personal injury attorneys keep victims’ interests paramount and can provide advice about dealing with the at-fault party’s representatives, insurers etc.
