AS FEATURED IN POST CITY
Don’t Lose Your House!
Life often moves at a fast pace in our bustling city of Toronto. With its busy streets and crowded highways, accidents can happen when you least expect them. Whether it’s a crash on the 401 or a slip and fall on an icy sidewalk, personal injuries can have serious consequences. In the case of a serious injury, you may face additional expenses for medical treatment, assistive devices, home care, or even home modifications. On top of this, you may be unable to work and earn a living. Suddenly and unexpectedly, the prospect of losing your home looms large. In situations like this, a personal injury lawyer can be your greatest ally in navigating your path forward and securing your future.
One of the primary ways a personal injury lawyer can protect you and your family is by helping you identify and access various forms of compensation. If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to damages through a civil lawsuit. This could include compensation for pain and suffering, past and future medical expenses, home modifications, lost wages, loss of competitive advantage in your career, and other expenses. The compensation paid in a civil lawsuit is intended to make you “whole” (to the extent that money can) and cover any losses that arise from the injuries caused by someone else’s negligence. A good personal injury lawyer will assess the circumstances of your case, develop a litigation strategy that is specific to you, and fight tirelessly to help you secure the compensation you deserve.
In addition to bringing a civil lawsuit, personal injury lawyers can assist you in accessing other benefits that will ease the financial strain caused by a personal injury incident. In the case of a motor vehicle accident, for instance, they can assist you in accessing benefits through automobile insurance policies (called accident benefits and sometimes “no fault” benefits). The types of benefits available to a person involved in a motor vehicle accident include benefits that provide funding for support around the home, treatment, assistive devices, home modifications, and income replacement. If you have an experienced personal injury lawyer in your corner, you can rest assured that the proper benefits will be applied for and, if the insurance company denies them, fought for.
In addition to automobile insurance benefits, a personal injury lawyer can help you access short-term and long-term disability benefits if your injury prevents you from working. These benefits can provide crucial financial support while you recover, helping you avoid falling behind on mortgage payments or other essential bills. Unfortunately, these benefits are often denied by insurance companies. Navigating the complex world of insurance can be overwhelming, but with a knowledgeable lawyer by your side, you can increase your chances of a successful outcome.
In Toronto, where the cost of living is high and housing prices continue to soar, the prospect of losing your home due to a personal injury is daunting. However, by enlisting the help of an experienced personal injury lawyer, you can protect your family and secure your future.
