An early morning motorcycle crash in Richmond HIll Ontario, resulted in the death of a man in his 30's.  This fatal motorcycle accident happened near Highway 7 and Leslie Street and reportedly involved another vehicle.

First and foremost, we would like to offer our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the man who was killed in this fatal motorcycle accident in Richmond Hill, Ontario.

The police had the area closed in order to investigate the circumstances of this accident.  More information is needed in order to determine who is at fault for this fatal Richmond Hill motorcycle accident.  If the other vehicle involved is partially responsible for the crash, it could lead to a wrongful death claim on behalf of the family of the motorcycle rider.  The family of the man who was tragically killed, may be able to recover for the loss of the support, services and companionship of their loved one.

Unfortunately, every year many motorcyclists in Ontario are seriously injured in motorcycle crashes.  Unfortunaely many people hold the belief that motorcycle riders cause these accidents.  In fact, the statistics more often reveal that most motorcycle crashes are caused by other drivers.  Very often, drivers simply fail to see motorcyclists.  Many motorcycle riders are cautious and safe drivers. They often attempt to increase awareness of their presence by wearing reflective gear, or adding loud pipes to their motorcycle.  We all have to be aware of motorcycles sharing the
roads and we should give them plenty of space.  

Claims involving motorcycle accidents are complex and require a lawyer with experience in this area.  They are vigorously defended on liability.  In fatal cases, the other driver involved will often be the only witness to the collision, and may offer self-serving statements about how the collision occurred.  

As a lawyer, I have obtained a lot of experience in litigating motorcycle accident claims. Sadly, most of these cases involve catastrophic injuries and fatalities.  Through my experience, I have also had the opportunity to work with some of the world's leading experts on motorcycle safety and accident reconstruction.  I bring this experience and commitment to every motorcycle accident claim.

If you have lost a loved one as a result of a motorcycle crash, contact Iacobelli Law Firm for a complimentary consultation an Ontario motorcycle accident lawyer.  

There are reports of a Toronto injury accident that occurred at the intersection of Eglington Avenue West and Black Creek Drive on June 1, 2012.  Reports suggest that the persons involved in this Toronto car accident were taken to hospital for treatment of their injuries. 

This accident reminds us that many Toronto car accidents occur at intersections.   Intersections require drivers to make decisions, and sometimes this results in poor decisions that cause car accidents.  Accidents occuring at intersections can result in serious injuries and, sometimes, death.   Most Toronto car accidents that occur at intersections are avoidable, and can be traced to driver negligence. 

In car accidents involving multiple vehicles, like this Toronto car accident early collection of facts and preservation of evidence is essential in order to assess and determine the cause of the collision.  Multi-vehicle collisions are complex and usually require experts, such as engineers, to perform accident reconstruction analsysis.  Modern cars are often equipped with computer systems that collect and store information that may be downloaded. This information needs to be obtained soon following a collision or it may be lost. 

The police were investigating this June 1, 2012 Toronto car accident, and more information is certainly needed to determine who was at fault.  Nonetheless, if it is determined that one or more of the drivers are at fault for causing this Toronto car accident, the injury victims may be able to maintain a Ontario lawsuit to recover their losses. 

The Toronto Car Accident Lawyer at Iacobelli Law Firm would like to wish all of those injured in this Toronto car accident a swift and full recovery from all of their injuries.

A serious accident involving several vehicles occurred on the QEW in Mississauga on the morning of May 9, 2012.  Early reports of this accident indicate that a young woman in her early twenties suffered very serious injuries in this QEW car accident.  Others were also injured and taken to hospital.  A driver of a Lincoln Towncar was reportedly charged with careless driving by police. 

Our thoughts are with the young lady that was injured in this accident and her family. We hope that she will make a quick and complete recovery. 

Unfortunately, accidents on Ontario highways are common.  While the vast majority of car accidents are minor, some result in serious injuries.  While we refer to these collisions as accidents, they are almost always avoidable.  Most car crashes occur because of driver error.  In cases involving multiple vehicles, early collection of facts and preservation of evidence is essential in order to assess and determine the cause of the collision.  Multi-vehicle collisions are complex and usually require experts, such as engineers, to perform accident reconstruction analsysis.  Modern cars are often equipped with computer systems that collect and store information that may be downloaded. This information needs to be obtained soon following a collision or it may be lost. 

If you are involved in a serious multi-vehicle car crash, you should not delay in consulting a lawyer.  While your first priority is certainly your recovery and health, the lawyer and their team can commence the process of collecting information, interviewing witnesses, and preserving key evidence to support your claim.  By doing so, when the time is appropriate, you will be in a better position to advance your claim.  The insurance company will almost certainly mobilize quickly following a serious accident in an effort to minimize or defeat your claim.
