Personal Injury Lawyer Stouffville

Motor vehicle accidents are often traumatizing, and you can never be ready for the emotional and physical after-effects. These accidents range from mere fender-benders to devastating vehicle crashes. The injuries associated with such accidents range from minor bruises to life-changing injuries like paralysis, loss of a limb, permanent disability, and loss of sight.

If you or a loved one sustained injuries due to a motor vehicle accident, you’re entitled to compensation. Some of the damages you may recover from a vehicle crash include lost wages, medical bills, property damage, loss of your earning capacity, and pain and suffering. To recover the damages for pain and suffering, you must have suffered injuries that cross the threshold of being permanent and serious.

Remember, you need a knowledgeable and experienced personal injury lawyer to help prove that you deserve compensation for the pain and suffering you endured after the accident. At Boland Romaine, all our personal injury lawyers have successfully taken on some of the complex and challenging personal injury claims, taking them through court trials and getting outstanding outcomes. Some of the claims we handled successfully include:

• MacDonald v. Talaba, where the defendant only offered $10k, but we recovered $356,020 after taking the case to trial.
• Cockburn v. Holmes, where the defendant wasn’t willing to pay a dime, but our lawyers recovered $420,000 by having the threshold abandoned amid trial.
• Copeland v. Knox, where the defendant offered $37,360, but the jury awarded the plaintiff $161,591.34 when the case proceeded to trial.

Suppose you slip and fall on another person’s property and suffer injuries. In that case, you may be entitled to compensation for the damages you suffered due to the accident. However, you must prove negligence, particularly of the property owner.

A slip-and-fall accident involves someone tripping or falling on another’s property, including a store, public street, business premises, sidewalk, private home, and more. Some of the common causes of these accidents include loose floorboards, loose carpets, potholes, uneven sidewalks, exposed wiring, and uneven flooring. Spillage of food or fluids, loose rugs, and other hazards can also cause slip-and-fall accidents.

The common injuries associated with slip and fall accidents include bruises and cuts, broken bones, nerve damage, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. At Boland Romaine, we have a team of highly experienced personal injury lawyers who can handle your injury claim successfully. Indeed, our legal professionals will work tirelessly to ensure you get the amount of compensation you are legally entitled to.

A burn injury in an accident can be the result of contact with hot metal, hot water, steam coming from a broken radiator, or other hot elements. Many burns often damage the skin layers. However, deep burns can damage inner tissues and bones. Unless you get timely treatment, burn injuries can cause severe complications like an infection, permanent scars, dehydration, amputation, and in the worst-case scenario, death.
