You’ve just lived through a vehicle accident. The trauma was intense. Your nerves are raw and shaken. You’ve sustained injuries that will require time to heal. And your worries are beginning to mount.
Maybe this is the first time you’ve gone through this and you have simply no idea about what to do when it comes to navigating the legal process following the accident.
Or, maybe this is a painful reminder of a previous crash and you don’t want to repeat the same mistakes in getting legal assistance.
Either way, you want someone who is looking out for you, strongly representing your best interests at one of the most vulnerable times in your life as you, and your loved ones, heal and recover.
So, where do you turn to and who can you trust to help make things right again?
Boland Romaine has been caring for clients and their personal injury claims in Aurora, Newmarket and the GTA since 1984, amassing extensive experience in car and motorcycle accidents. They know how to represent and attain the best outcomes that can return your quality of life, and safeguard your future.
Before you start the legal process for your personal injury case, there are a few important steps to follow. In Ontario, the process begins with immediately seeking and attaining the required medical care for your injuries. Then, you must report the incident to your own insurance company within seven days to begin the legal process, which will also help fund your treatment as you recover.
When it comes to consulting a lawyer, provincial law requires an injured party to submit written notice days after the accident if they intend to mount legal action against a municipality. It is critical to not miss that deadline, since it could affect your ability to attain the proper compensation.
Insurance companies and their defense lawyers attempt to settle claims quickly, and often for minor amounts. So, it is vital to contact a lawyer specializing in vehicle accidents as soon as possible so they can assess what you claim could entail and properly handle and protect your rights to fair compensation.
If you are considering a lawsuit in Ontario, action must be taken within two years of when the incident took place. Missing that deadline could also affect whatever compensation you are due.
But what if you have been hospitalized as a result of your accident that hampers your ability to seek legal assistance?
With this possibility in mind, Boland Romaine caters to their clients’ specific needs, tailoring the required meetings to fit in with medical and rehabilitation efforts, in your home, hospital or care facility. So, rest assured, your recovery remains paramount as you proceed through legal matters.
If the cost of hiring a lawyer is a concern, Boland Romaine provides free initial consultation. After that, a contingency fee agreement can be set up, meaning legal fees are paid if your case is successfully settled or won at trial.
Since 1984, Boland Romaine has been providing expert representation for clients in the GTA and across Ontario who have suffered personal injury sustained in motor vehicle accidents. More than 95 per cent of the cases undertaken at Boland Romaine result in maximum compensation without going to trial.
