WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS AFTER AN ACCIDENT?

After an accident, you have the right to seek compensation for the physical, emotional, and financial impact it has had on your life. Depending on your situation, you may be entitled to compensation for medical treatment, lost wages, rehabilitation, property damage, and pain and suffering.

It’s crucial to act quickly. Ontario law also provides strict limitation periods, so time is essential for protecting your rights. Book a Consultation with our personal injury lawyers to help you understand the compensation you may be eligible for and how to take the proper steps toward recovery.

FAQs: Motor Vehicle Accidents

Do I have a personal injury case after my car accident?

You may have a case if you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, whether in a car, motorcycle, truck, or as a pedestrian. The best way to know for sure is to Book a Consultation so we can evaluate the details of your accident and injuries.

Do I have to go to court?

Most motor vehicle accident cases settle before reaching trial. However, if a fair settlement can’t be reached, we’re prepared to represent you in court to fight for your full compensation.

How can I share my experience or concerns as the case progresses?

You’ll have open lines of communication with your legal team. We encourage regular updates and feedback, and are here to answer any questions at every step.

How do I start a personal injury claim?

It begins with a consultation. From there, we gather evidence, notify insurers, and guide you through the legal process so you always know what’s happening and what to expect.

It varies depending on the case’s complexity and whether it goes to court, but many claims are resolved within several months to a few years. We’ll keep you informed throughout.

My family member was killed in a motor vehicle accident, do I have the right to compensation?

Yes. In certain family members may be entitled to compensation if a loved one is killed in a motor vehicle accident. Our team can help you understand your rights and what steps to take next.

You may need to share medical records, accident reports, photos, insurance details, and any communications related to the incident. We help gather and organize all necessary documents.

What's my case worth?
