- Client Reviews
Personal injury claims are on the rise, and with an increase in accidents due to distracted drivers, medical malpractice catastrophes, high rates of defective drugs, and injuries due to workplace incidents, it is no surprise that the victims of these crimes are taking charge of their situation and holding the negligent parties responsible for their actions in court.
In a 2009 report by Statistics Canada, the annual cost of personal injuries was approximated at $19.8 billion, which only underscores the frequency and severity of incidents that can result in serious injury to those involved. The same report cited that almost 20 percent of those incidents involved injuries from transportation incidents.
If you or someone you know has experienced an incident that resulted in injury to you or a loved one, you may be entitled to compensation for your physical and mental pain and suffering. Compensation that is granted to the victim or victims of personal injury is legally referred to as damages, and those funds can be used to help the victims recover from their injuries in addition to replace lost wages from time away from work.

This is by no means an exhaustive list, but if you or a loved one have experienced any of these injuries, it is wise to seek legal counsel from an experienced personal injury Lawyer, to help you move past the incident and return to a thriving, happy life with the compensation you are due from your physical and mental anguish.
Common Causes Of Injuries
The injuries that can result from another persons careless or negligent actions are as varied as the incidents that cause them. Many seemingly safe situations can become life threatening if people behave irresponsibly or fail to act when they should.
Some of the most common situations that can result in injury include:
- Defective drugs or unintended side effects
- Medical or psychological malpractice
- Workplace injuries
to name a few.
Any incident where negligence occurred can result in injury, be it mental or physical, temporary, permanent or life ending. After an accident, the most important step to take is to contact emergency medical help and to secure the safety of you or a loved one as soon as possible.
Following an accident, contacting a lawyer with personal injury experience may allow you and your loved ones some peace of mind knowing that a seasoned litigator is in your corner. Compensation that may be awarded as a result of your injuries will not bring back a loved one or heal the wounds you have endured, but it will provide critical funds to assist in your recovery. Additionally, holding the negligent parties responsible will ensure that same negligence does not occur again, potentially saving a life in the future.
