FAQs
The insurance company says that I don't need a lawyer, are they right?
Insurance companies would rather you not seek out a lawyer, because they know they can negotiate a smaller and even unfair settlement with you directly. Every person who has been injured in an accident should speak with a lawyer. If you are entitled to sue the person responsible for your injuries, you will definitely need a lawyer to help you. If you are entitled to receive no-fault benefits from your own insurance company, our lawyers will ensure that you are being paid the proper amount.
What is traumatic brain injury?
Traumatic brain injury is defined as any damage to the brain caused by a trauma. Brain injuries can be categorized as mild, moderate or severe. It is important to note that even a mild traumatic brain injury can have serious consequences. Brain injury can occur from such traumas such as car accidents (striking of head on the interior of the car); a slip and fall (striking head on a hard surface); a substantial neck injury (whiplash or neck fracture).
What rights do I have if I am injured in a car accident?
You have two possible ways to claim compensation. First, you may be entitled to recover damages if another person is at-fault for your accident and your injuries reach a threshold of seriousness. Second, you may be entitled to recover certain benefits, called no-fault benefits, no matter who is at-fault in your accident.
Can home owners and/or business owners be sued if I slip or trip and fall on their property?
Slip or trip and fall accidents are a common type of personal injury accident. Every owner and occupier of property must ensure that people are safe when they enter onto their property. A homeowner is responsible for ensuring that their driveway and steps leading into their home are in good repair and in the winter free of ice and snow. Similarly, an owner of a business must make sure that their floors are free of spills and slipping hazards. If your fall was on a municipal sidewalk, you must provide the municipality with written notice within 10 days. Failure to provide written notification to the municipal clerk in time can invalidate your claim.
