Lawyers Who Listen

Every car accident claim we manage in Ontario is different. It’s important that your attorney understands how your accident occurred, the injuries you’ve suffered, and how it affects your physical, emotional, and financial health. Some law firms fail to listen to their clients’ needs, pushing cases through a system that ignores the plaintiff’s unique needs and circumstances. 

Not our attorneys. When you work with Amicus Legal Group, your Ontario auto accident lawyer will listen to your story and conduct a thorough investigation to establish fault, liability, and the losses you’ve suffered. 

Should your case proceed to court, we firmly represent your interests. We are not afraid to stand toe-to-toe with the lawyers for the insurance company, no matter how large.

Common Causes of Ontario Car Accidents 

We regularly see accidents caused by:

• Speeding: In 2022, there were 135 injury or fatal crashes related to speeding in Ontario, according to the California Office for Traffic Safety (OTS). Speeding reduces reaction time and increases vulnerability to adverse road conditions, making accidents far more severe.
• Reckless Driving: Deliberately ignoring traffic laws, indulging in risky behavior, and disregarding safety can result in devastating accidents.
• Alcohol and Drugs: Over 100 people were hurt or killed in accidents involving driving while intoxicated in 2022, per the OTS.
• Distracted Driving: Distracted driving, such as texting or talking on the phone, is as dangerous as driving under the influence and is a leading cause of accidents.
• Vehicle Malfunction: Unexpected mechanical failures can result in accidents. Liability may rest with either the vehicle manufacturer or the dealership/mechanic who performed maintenance on the vehicle.

To establish the defendant’s liability, your attorney needs to establish negligence. All drivers have a duty to operate their vehicles safely. Your case must prove the defendant acted recklessly or carelessly, and that their reckless or careless driving led to your accident. 

To prove liability, your auto accident lawyer will retrieve police reports, speak with eyewitnesses, gather photographs or video of the accident and recover other evidence that proves fault. We often work with expert witnesses to establish how the accident occurred and prove the defendant’s fault.

The insurance company will also review fault for the accident, and their determination could affect the compensation you receive. 

Let Us Deal With Insurance Companies for You

When dealing with insurance companies and their representatives, every interaction matters. The smallest mistake can jeopardize your right to fair compensation. By presenting a robust case right up front, accident victims significantly increase the likelihood of securing a fair and adequate settlement.

We Fight Attempts to Minimize Insurance Payouts

Insurance companies frequently attempt to minimize payouts by disputing liability or downplaying the extent of injuries and damages. As your lawyers, we gather and analyze evidence, collect witness statements, review medical records, and consult with experts. 

We Manage Paperwork and Meet Deadlines

We possess in-depth knowledge of the intricate legal processes involved in car accident claims. We handle all paperwork, meet deadlines, and satisfy insurance and legal requirements to prove your entitlement to damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses.

We have years of experience navigating the complexities of insurance claims and lawsuits. Trust our personal injury attorneys to manage the process.

We Negotiate for the Settlement You Deserve

As your legal representative, your lawyer will handle communication with insurers, including negotiations. We professionally and strategically advocate on your behalf so you get the compensation you need to pay your bills, get medical care and move forward with life.

Recoverable Damages After a Car Crash in Ontario

Our Ontario car accident law firm handles cases involving all types of severe injuries, including:

• Impact Injuries: Collisions within the car can lead to injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, spinal cord injuries, and internal bleeding.
• Soft Tissue Injuries: Injuries like whiplash and herniated discs can cause long-term complications.
• Penetrating Injuries: Glass or metal objects can penetrate the skin during an accident, causing serious injuries.

Injuries such as these can have lasting effects on your physical and emotional well-being. You could struggle to work, pay bills, and get medical care. What you can recover after a car accident depends on the specifics of your case, but may include:

• Medical bills, both current and future
• Lost wages
• Lost earning capacity
• Miscellaneous accident-related expenses
• Pain and suffering and other non-economic damages

If you lost a loved one in an Ontario motor vehicle accident, we hope you will accept our most sincere condolences. We know that compensation may not be your priority at this moment, but it can help your family secure its future. Our car accident lawyers can fight for justice and maximum compensation.

What Should You Do After a Car Accident?

If you or a loved one has experienced an injury in an automobile accident in Ontario, it’s natural to be inundated with stress and emotions. In these difficult moments, remember to do the following:

• Get Medical Attention: Promptly addressing and treating injuries should be your utmost priority. The body’s natural response to stress can mask pain, making it difficult to gauge the full extent of injuries after the crash. Request emergency medical care if you require it and seek an evaluation from a medical provider after your wreck. 
• Be a Good Patient: Follow the doctor’s orders. Adhere to treatment plans. Doing so protects your health and may be important to proving injuries and losses when filing an auto accident claim.
• Take Pictures of Everything: Taking photos after the accident can prove incredibly valuable. Photos document the scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries. They provide clear visual evidence that can support your case.
• Collect Information: Gather vital information from the other driver, including their full name, contact details, and insurance information. Additionally, collect contact information for any passengers in the other vehicle(s) and any witnesses who stopped at the scene of the accident.
• Talk to an Attorney: Enlisting a personal injury attorney can be crucial in evaluating the viability of your claim and receiving guidance on the best course of action. Reach out to Amicus Legal Group to assess your case’s validity and potential value.
