Bicycle and Motorcycle Accidents Bicycle and motorcycle accidents can cause some of the most devastating injuries resulting in significant lifelong impairments. There are a number of issues that need to be assessed early on such as what happened in the accident and who is at fault; what medical, rehabilitation and income benefits are available and assisting with arrangements to get appropriate medical assistance for the best possible outcome from your injuries.

Pedestrian Accidents Pedestrian accidents involving motor vehicles often occur in roadways, crosswalks, intersections, driveways and parking lots. Clearly, a pedestrian is extremely vulnerable when involved in some form of collision with an automobile and a high percentage of these accidents result in serious long-term injuries, catastrophic injuries and even death. If, as a pedestrian, you have been injured in an accident, you are entitled to compensation.

Long Term Disability Insurance Denials You have long term disability insurance because you wanted peace of mind if you suffer an injury or illness that results in your inability to work at your own job, or any other job.

Spinal Cord and Brain Injury A serious spinal cord injury can result in paralysis, quadriplegia or tetraplegia.

Our experienced personal injury team understands. We have dealt with many people that have been seriously injured in an accident and we understand the effect on your ability to earn an income, the need for significant medical attention and the impact on your family.

Wrongful Death Losing a loved one as a result of an accident is devastating. The emotional impact is heartbreaking. In addition, there is the loss of the deceased’s contribution to the family unit. Not only the care, guidance and companionship that the loved one provided, but there is also damages for the emotional harm that the loss brings upon the surviving family members; and the loss of income contribution and housekeeping and homemaking services that the deceased provided.

Slip and Fall Accidents Slip and fall and trip and fall accidents can be very frustrating. However, there are times when the accident is the result of the negligence of another party, whether it is the property owner, a tenant or a third-party service provider like a maintenance company or a snow and ice removal company. There is a certain expectation that when you attend at the premises of another party, that premise will be safe for you to walk on or attend. That is the responsibility of the property owner and/or tenant, to make sure they take reasonable care to ensure that the premises is safe for the purpose it is intended, like a grocery store or parking lot.

Nursing Home and Long-Term Care Fatalities There is nothing more difficult than the decision to place a parent, grandparent or other family member into a nursing home or long-term care facility. We hope that the care they receive will ensure that they stay healthy and happy. The loss of a parent or grandparent is a devastating and emotional experience. If you have concerns about the circumstances surrounding the passing of a family member then contact our personal injury team and we can start the investigation and assessment of the claim arising from the loss of your family member.
