Common Injuries
Snowmobile accidents can be a very traumatic event. Types of injuries that can happen in snowmobile accidents include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, damage to internal organs, serious bone fractures and even death. When an injured person or family members who have lost their loved ones are having physical or psychological stress, filing for an accident claim may be overwhelming. The experienced and compassionate lawyers at Paquette & Paquette will be able to guide through these difficult times. Our snowmobile accident lawyers will listen to your concerns and make sure that you are aware of your options and of the outcomes and expected procedures associated with each option.
Compensation for Injuries
All snowmobiles must be insured in the same way as other vehicles that are operated on highways. Snowmobile accident victims and their family members who live in Ontario can claim compensation for any losses due to a snowmobile accident from their own insurance provider through No-Fault Accident benefits, or from the person who was responsible for causing the collision by means of a Tort Claim. Some of the other expenses and losses include:
• Lost wages and diminishing earning ability
• Medical costs
