Many victims of negligent accidents are choosing to pursue claims through the representation of a personal injury lawyer. Downtown Toronto is a place where accidents happen on a daily basis, in the workplaces, office buildings, restaurants, and hospitals located in the heart of the city, as well as on the road and in the home. When you suffer a personal injury, a lawyer can provide the peace of mind, legal advice, and industry experience necessary to help you win your claim and refocus on your recovery.  Here are some accident causes that may be eligible for compensation if the other party is found negligent:

 

 

If you are injured in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident, you may be eligible to receive compensation if the party causing the accident failed to exercise reasonable care on their behalf. Of course, if you are found to be partially responsible, that will likely show up in the amount of your settlement claim.  You could be deemed partially negligible for your injury for many reasons, such as not wearing your seatbelt (or helmet on a motorcycle), unless you can prove that the likelihood of your injury would not have been prevented with it on.

 

 

If you are injured while walking or cycling around the city, it is important to note that you have the same rights as anyone who has been injured in a motor vehicle accident. If a driver has failed to follow the rules of the road, they are breaching their duty of care and engaging in negligible behaviour. Whether a driver failed to yield, missed a stop sign, or ran a red light, you are likely to be eligible for compensation.

 

Slip And Fall Accidents

 

If you become injured in a slip and fall accident or accidents cause by unsafe conditions, such as broken stairways or icy sidewalks, you may be entitled to a claim against the owner of the property. Under premises liability, the owner of the property is liable for certain preventable injuries suffered by people that are allowed on the premises.

 

Work-Related Accidents

 

If you are hurt at work due to a slip and fall, the malfunction of machinery, or the negligence of another employee, you may be able to recover compensation for your pain and suffering. Depending on the nature of your accident and who is found at fault, you may be able to recover your lost wages, medical expenses, and compensation for emotional distress stemming from the incident.
