Common FAQ Questions
How Long Does Someone Have To File a Claim From Injury?
There is both a sense of urgency and just waiting around. Why? You need to meet important deadlines to maximize your chance of success.
Ontario Statutes gives you two years to file a claim and sue. Waiting until a year has passed can affect the outcome because filing a claim is a time-consuming task. It requires lots of documentation and rushing through this process may mean errors. Waiting for so long also affects your credibility.
It’s best to contact a personal injury lawyer to understand the process and your situation.
How Much Does A Personal Injury Lawyer in Hamilton Get Paid?
There are many ways a lawyer can charge you for their services. Some personal injury lawyers in Hamilton charge flat fees and others charge hourly fees. As your personal injury lawyer, I work on a contingency basis as most injury lawyers do. This means that you don’t have to pay for my time until I have recovered a settlement for you. However, you are still responsible for disbursements or expenses such as medical reports and taxes.
How Do You Prove A Slip And Fall Personal Injury Case?
Documentation is key. It starts from the very beginning from the moment of injury and everything else that comes after. Getting a thorough paper trail can help you with your case. Having a injury lawyer also helps you because they are able to guide you specifically to what is needed to prove your case.
How Much Do Insurance Companies Pay for Personal Injury Claims?
Regardless of what you have heard, insurance companies do not want to pay out more than what they need or what they have set in reserve in any given case.
Without being represented by an injury lawyer at the beginning, you run the risk of getting a relatively low but fair reserve which may not be the maximum compensation that you deserve.
Insurance companies take your premium to give you coverage, but they aren’t necessarily working for your benefit.
What Can I Expect With The Initial Consultation For Personal Injury?
It always starts with a call. We will be asking you a lot of questions so please be transparent with your answers. By doing so, we are seeing if we can help. The more information you can provide the better. This call may take anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes and there is no cost to you. Once the information has been reviewed and we feel that we can help you, we’ll setup a follow up in-person meeting to go over your file in greater detail.
