If you have ever been in a car accident, you likely know how traumatic and frightening the experience can be. Car accidents, or any kind of motor vehicle accidents, are predominantly caused by reckless drivers who are either drunk, distracted, unqualified or driving a damaged vehicle. Their carelessness on the road can lead to disastrous accidents, which may leave the involved parties severely injured.
When injured in a car accident, the responsible party should be held accountable by covering your expenses and any financial losses incurred as a result of your impairment. Bergel Magence Personal Injury Lawyers in Toronto help accident victims obtain maximum compensation by evaluating their claim and navigating the complex policies set by insurance companies.
Single car accidents occur when one car collides with obstacles on the road, such as an animal, utility poles, or a person, crashes into rail guards, or runs off the road. Single vehicle accidents account for almost half of all the fatalities and injuries on our roads. If you have been injured in a single-vehicle accident, or any kind of motor vehicle collision, our auto-accident litigators can help you get the accident benefits and compensation that you deserve.
just as the name suggests, this is an accident that occurs when two cars slam into each other, head to head. Although the number of head-on collisions across Canada accounts for a small percentage of car accidents, the fatalities and severe injuries sustained from this type of accident are very high. This is due to the high impact created by two opposing, fast-moving objects. If you or your loved one suffered an injury in a head-on collision, contact Bergel Magence Personal Injury Lawyers, and we’ll fight to get you the benefits you need and deserve.
Rear-end accidents occur when the front of one car collides into the rear of another vehicle. These accidents are common during heavy traffic when the “following” driver fails to stop as soon as the leading vehicle slows down or stops. Most rear-end accidents are minor, but some cause severe injuries and fatalities. In most rear-end collisions, the rear driver is at fault. However, in some cases, the lead driver may also share some fault, such as when they fail to maintain brake lights. If you’re ever in a rear-end accident, call our law firm, and we’ll be there to assess the situation and fight for your rights.
T-bone accidents, otherwise known as right-angle collisions or broadside collisions, occur when the front of one vehicle slams into the side of another vehicle. T-bone accidents mostly happen at intersections when one driver disregards traffic lights and tries to cross the intersection as another car does the same. These accidents can have catastrophic results, and the occupants in the vehicles impacted on the side often suffer the most severe injuries due to minimal structural protection on the broadside. If you get injured in a t-bone accident, MN Legal Services Personal Injury Lawyers today and speak with one of our team members. We will ensure that you get the money you require to cover any medical expenses and to support you and your family as you recover.
Chain reaction collisions, or multi-vehicle accidents, start when one vehicle slams into another, and the impact created causes one of the two, mostly the second car, to crash into a third one. The accident can also happen in another sequence after the first two cars collide. Multi-vehicle accidents are particularly dangerous when the vehicles involved are moving at high-speeds. If you get injured in a chain reaction accident, get in touch with us. We’ll help you get your accident benefits and settle any claim you may have against the party or parties at fault.
Sideswipe accidents occur when one vehicle’s side collides with the side of another vehicle. Such accidents occur when a driver fails to stay in their lane, tries to escape obstacles on the road, or tries to switch lanes, and ends up bumping into the side of another car. Most sideswipe accidents are minor, however, others can quickly turn catastrophic. As a victim of a sideswipe accident
When you get into a car accident, you have certain rights set by Ontario legislation (such as the Insurance Act and the Family Law Act). A personal injury lawyer can help you understand the legal components of the situation and ensure that your rights are protected and enforced. Ontario legislation governs certain rights for suing insurance companies and the driver(s) responsible for your car accident injuries. The legislation also details your mandatory benefits, and a lawyer can help ensure you obtain everything you are rightly owed.
As a car accident victim, you may file two types of claims to receive compensation for any injuries incurred. The two claims are known as accident benefits claims and tort claims.
According to Ontario legislation, accident benefits are mandatory benefits for pedestrians, passengers, and drivers injured in a car accident. The claim applies even for “at fault” drivers. It provides medical, rehabilitation, attendant care, caregiver, and income replacement benefits. Accident benefits are paid by your insurance provider.
A third-party claim, which can also be referred to as a tort claim, is a type of personal injury lawsuit by injured persons or their families against the at-fault driver. The tort claim covers pain and suffering, lost income, medical expenses, loss of the ability to enjoy life, and other expenses resulting from the injuries. This compensation is paid by the insurance provider of the “at fault” driver.
