Our Practice Areas
Our personal injury lawyers can help you with the following claims:
Motor Vehicle Accidents
If you or a loved one were involved in a motor vehicle accident from which you suffered injuries, you can take legal action against the person who caused the accident. If your injuries prevent you from working or affect your day-to-day life, you could be eligible to file a disability claim as well. To ensure you get the compensation you deserve, our personal injury lawyers in Sudbury can help.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents can lead to some of the most severe personal injuries. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident, you have a lot to worry about. Don’t make getting
compensation for your injuries something you do on your own. You can rely on our personal injury lawyers to help protect your legal rights.
Snowmobile Accidents
If you have been in an accident involving a snowmobile, the driver of another vehicle or the owner of the property you were riding in may owe you compensation. After a snowmobile accident, you have a lot to deal with; so rather than worrying about getting compensation on your own, our personal injury lawyers can help you get fair compensation for your injuries.
Brain Injuries
Brain injuries can be caused by car accidents, slips and falls, industrial job site problems, and more. As they can drastically change your life and lead to many complications and disabilities, you can seek a legal claim for compensation. Our personal injury lawyers in Sudbury can help you throughout this process and ensure your rights are protected.
Wrongful Death
If one of your loved ones has died due to the negligence or misconduct of someone else, you and your family can sue to get compensation for wrongful death. Going through this life-altering experience is taxing enough, so trying to get compensation on your own may not be the best course of action. Our personal injury lawyers will prioritise your needs and rights as a survivor.
Dog Bites
Responsible pet owners don’t allow their pets to attack, threaten, chase, or harass other people or animals. Pet owners are responsible for the behaviour of their pets and need to be held accountable. If you or a loved one have been bitten or severely scratched by a dog or cat, you can file a complaint with the Greater Sudbury By-law Compliance and Enforcement.
Long-term Disability
If you have sustained a personal injury that resulted in a disability, you may be entitled to file for a disability claim with your insurance provider. Long-term disability provides income assistance when a physical or mental disability hinders your quality of life and ability to work. Qualification for disability is based on your financial situation and your disability status. Our personal injury lawyers can help you determine if you qualify.
Our Personal Injury Services in Sudbury
A personal injury lawyer does more than file a lawsuit for you. If you have experienced personal injury in Sudbury, you have much to worry about. On top of any injuries you’ve sustained, you need to find ways to pay medical bills as well as your usual rent or mortgage, utilities, and food costs. When injuries prevent you from working, maintaining your lifestyle becomes very difficult, and it can feel overwhelming.
​
Additionally, your insurance company will likely ask for personal statements, documents, and other forms after an accident. They’ll ask you to settle your claim and won’t give you much time to work through the details. Hiring one of our personal injury lawyers in Sudbury will lessen your load.
