Personal injury lawyers are critical parts of the personal injury process—but how do you determine if you need one?
How to Determine if you Need a Personal Injury Lawyer
When someone undergoes a personal injury and has decided to take the matter into the courts in order to receive the compensation they are entitled to, they need a personal injury lawyer. Proceeding to either court or arbitration should be done under the professional supervision that a professional personal injury attorney brings.
Why Use an Experienced Lawyer?
Working with a personal injury lawyer is a smart decision—because the corporation or insurance company you are going up against will have one. Not only can an experienced lawyer represent your best interests against the opposing legal representative or legal team, we also help you properly document your case with evidentiary support and ensure you have a rock-solid case. We can also help you through this new and confusing process, because the Canadian court system is nothing like the Law & Order reruns you’ve seen on TV.
Personal injury claims are a complex process regardless of whether the case goes to court or arbitration thanks to the required paperwork, filings and documentation. The process is further complicated by Ontario’s Limitations Act that places extremely specific timeframes on claims and when follow-up paperwork must be filed in—with claims failing to return paperwork in specific timeframes suffering or being denied entirely.
