- Will people think less of me for making a personal injury claim?
It is important to remember that if you are injured in an accident through no fault of your own, you legally deserve to receive proper compensation. Your claim could lead to a change in legislation or regulations and prevent others from being injured. Many health and safety regulations exist because ordinary people have been prepared to make a legal claim.
- When should I call a lawyer?
You should contact a lawyer as soon as it is practically possible. Important facts about your accident need to be written down and witness statements need to be obtained. An experienced lawyer will help you track any expenses that may arise, such as medical bills, prescriptions or lost wages.
- Does Find A Lawyer Canada provide legal Advice?
No. We are not lawyers and in no way do we provide you legal advice. We provide a service to help you find a lawyer.
- How do I know if I am eligible to make a personal injury compensation claim?
You may be eligible if you have suffered an injury - physical or psychological - caused by someone who should have been taking reasonable care for your safety but failed to do so.
- Why shouldn't I just deal with the adjustor?
You may know how much it should cost to fix your car, but it is a much different matter to figure out how much your personal injury claim might be worth. An adjustor's job is to minimize the amount of damages the insurance company has to pay. A lawyer will work only for you. It is always a good idea to at least talk to a lawyer before talking to an adjustor.
- How much compensation will I get?
Compensation amounts vary a great deal. Once we have put you in touch with a local personal injury lawyer, he or she will be able to advise you about what compensation you might expect to receive if you win your claim.
