FAQs
It can be hard to understand why your short or long-term disability claim was denied. That’s why it’s best to contact our Hamilton office. We have the experience necessary to help you understand why it was denied, what documents need to be collected next, and what steps need to be taken to help you be approved. After sustaining injuries, you shouldn’t have to stress about disability claims. We want you to focus primarily on your recovery while we handle the rest.
Typically, after injuries occur on private property, you have two years from which the incident occurred to submit a claim. When it comes to accidents on provincial property, a written notice must be given within ten days. Do not wait. As soon as an accident occurs, book a free consultation at our Hamilton personal injury office. Keep in mind that accessibility is very important to us so can also meet at our office in St. Catharine, Ontario or by video conference.
While many are curious as to what we can settle for, the fact of the matter is, it depends. This will also vary for every single client. Insurance companies evaluate cases using many variables and ultimately, their job is to minimize your compensation whereas my job is to maximize it. It will also depend on how your injury or medical situation progresses and we can’t know that until more time has gone by.
For example, brain injuries and concussions that don’t appear to be serious at first may become very serious over time. Furthermore, people don’t always heal the same. The same injury can impact different people differently.
That’s why I will take an individual approach to develop each file in order to raise the profile of your unique case and negotiate the best possible outcome.
When it comes to injuries from slip and fall accidents, in Ontario you must be able to prove the negligence of the person responsible for the accident. For example, if you approached them about a potentially dangerous situation that could cause accidents or injuries and they failed to do anything about it, that is negligence on their part that can be proven with the proper documentation. And keep in mind, if you fall on public property in Ontario, according to the Municipal Act, 2001, a claimant has to put the municipality in question on notice that a statement of claim is going to be filed, within ten (10) days of the event.
