Reilly and Partners Personal Injury Law Ajax, ON
Personal injury occurs where you have suffered some form of injury, either physical or psychological, as the result of an accident. When you suffer a serious injury, the impact on your life can be overwhelming. Many difficult decisions have to be made. Many questions will arise. Who will pay for the cost of my therapy? How can I recover these out-of-pocket expenses? What can I do about my loss of income? What compensation am I entitled to?
It is difficult to assess damages in the early stages of a personal injury case. In most circumstances the true cost of an injury is unknown until you have received medical treatment, therapy and rehabilitation. That is why it is important to seek legal representation at the beginning of the process to ensure you are receiving the necessary funding for the treatment required.
There are many factors to consider when assessing the value of a personal injury claim including the nature of your injury, the cause of the injury and the impact that the injury has on your ability to work and on the activities of daily living.
Common damages awarded in a personal injury case can include;
Medical Treatment – The cost of medical care associated with the accident including, reimbursement for expenses for medical treatment you have already received and compensation for the estimated cost of medical care you will require in the future as a result of the accident.
Pain & Suffering – You may be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering you endured, or will continue to endure, as the result of the accident.
Income – You may be entitled to compensation for the accident’s impact on your salary and wages in the past and in the future.
Home Maintenance Services – You may be entitled to compensation for housekeeping and home maintenance services that you are no longer able to perform as a result of your injuries.
Property Loss – If any personal property was damaged as a result of the accident, you may be entitled to reimbursement for repairs or compensation for the fair market value of the property that was lost.
Family Member Claims– Family members may be awarded compensation for their financial losses related to the claim.
