Toronto Personal Injury Claims: When Do You Need A Lawyer?

As a Toronto and Ontario personal injury lawyer, I am often asked about the circumstances in which someone may need a Toronto personal injury lawyer.  This is a difficult questions, because all situations involving personal injury are different.  Not all injuries are the same, and different people recover differently from injury.  The consequences of an injury are also unique and may be affected by a persons lifestyle and occupation. The short answer is, the only way to truly know if you need a Toronto personal injury lawyer is to call a lawyer or Ontario personal injury law firm.

There may be situations where a Toronto personal injury lawyer is not needed, and filing an insurance claim yourself will adequately compensate you.  This would typically be in situations involving minor cuts and/or  bruises that resolve entirely within days or a few weeks.   On the other hand, if you sustained serious injuries that will result in extensive medical treatment, and injuries that may impact on your ability to care for yourself or your family, you should immediately consult with a Toronto injury lawyer before speaking with insurance company representatives. 

If you have been recently injured in Toronto or elsewhere in Ontario and you are wondering whether you have grounds for filing a personal injury claim, you should not delay in speaking with a Toronto and Ontario injury lawyer.  An initial consultation with an experienced Toronto and Ontario personal injury lawyer will provide you with guidance.  An experienced and reputable personal injury law firm in Toronto will usually provide an initial consultation for free.   Many Toronto personal injury lawyers and Ontario personal injury law firms will also work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay for their services, on a percentage basis if they are successful in recovering money for you.  Accordingly, there really is no risk for seeking sound advice from a personal injury lawyer.
