    YOUR RIGHTS & OPTIONS WHEN INJURED

    From Auto Accidents to Slips & Falls and Insurance Claims

    Whether you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle collision, slip, fall or other unfortunate circumstance, it’s important to know your rights. In many cases those rights entitle you to monetary compensation for personal injury that costs you medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering.

    My goal is to make sure you’re aware of your rights and options when it comes to personal injury; and to make sure that, should you hire me, you have a voice in the process and get everything you deserve.

    OTTAWA PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER

    Personal Injury Is a Vital But Sometimes Misunderstood Area of the Law

    Too often, I hear about someone who was “too proud” or “too shy” to seek and receive what he or she deserved. That’s a shame. You should not have to suffer when someone else has caused your personal injury.

    While money can’t erase the pain, it can play an integral role in the healing process. Compensation owed to you for pain & suffering, for expenses incurred and for future losses should not be left on the table. Standing up for your rights is my passion.

    What we do

    Frequently Asked Questions

    HOW LONG WILL MY CLAIM TAKE?

    There are many factors that come into play so it is difficult to predict exactly how long any given case will take. However, the majority of my personal injury and disability cases resolve within 12 months to 2 years from the date of the incident or claim.

    HOW MUCH WILL THIS COST ME?

    Most personal injury and disability cases we handle are done by way of a Contingency Fee Agreement. In short, this means that you do not pay us any legal fees until we successfully resolve your case. We also take care of all expenses until the matter is completed. Everything is explained fully and in writing so there will never be any surprises to you.

    ARE THERE ANY TIME LIMITS TO BRING MY CLAIM?

    Most personal injury actions – such as car accidents and slip & falls – must be brought within 2 years from the date of the incident. In some cases, you must also give early written notice to the potential defendant(s). Therefore, it is prudent to call a lawyer right away after any incident in which you hurt yourself.

    WHY ARE YOU SO GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO?

    Great question – thank you. I have a real passion for the practice of law and, more importantly, helping people. Not only do I love what I do, but I have many years of study and education within and related to the legal profession. On top of this, I have handled a countless number of personal injury cases over the years and this has given me the practical experience a lawyer needs to excel in this business.

    If someone is injured and needs legal assistance, I will be there for them. Then I will do everything possible to ensure that their life is made easier and the claim is successful.

    HOW MUCH IS MY ONTARIO PERSONAL INJURY CASE WORTH?

    Every case is different. However, generally speaking, in personal injury cases you are entitled to compensation (money) for such things as pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement, past and future loss of income, loss of ability to earn income, loss of competitive advantage, past and future medical and rehabilitation expenses, loss of housekeeping capacity, and other various special damages.

    Our goal is to maximize the overall compensation you receive from your personal injury claim, however the damages are characterized.

    WHAT IS AN EXAMINATION FOR DISCOVERY?

    If you have started a personal injury lawsuit, you will likely have to attend an Examination for Discovery at some point during the course of the litigation.

    The Examination for Discovery is a pre-trial examination that allows the lawyers to find out what each side has to say about the case. Every answer is recorded and a transcript of your testimony is prepared. It is important to understand that what you say may be used against you at the trial of your action. The examination will usually be held at an official court reporting office, i.e., not in a courtroom. Typically, only you, your lawyer, the opposing lawyer, and a court reporter will be present at the examination. An examination can last for several hours and you will be asked a number of questions about your personal injury claim, including questions about liability (the facts of the incident or collision) and damages (your injuries or losses).
