Toronto Pain and Suffering Lawyers
In the event of an automobile accident in Ontario, injury victims can claim coverage for specific losses, including pain and suffering, lost wages and medical expenses against the at-fault driver(s). If your injuries were severe, however, you may need greater compensation to help account for not only your short-term economic losses but also the devastating effect the injury has had on your life and your family.
At CHAGPAR LAW of Toronto, Salina F. Chagpar and our team stand with clients and provide them with the legal representation they require to mount a legal claim. Our meetings with clients over years of doing this work have given us an informed perspective of the often life-altering effects a severe injury has on the individual lives of accident victims. At our firm, we care for our clients’ needs while remaining sensitive to their personal circumstances.
Securing Clients' Needed Financial Support
No-fault automobile accident benefits are available to all injured people following a collision. In addition, those whose injury has resulted in the serious, permanent impairment of an important physical, mental or psychological function, may be able to sue the person who was at fault. This right exists even in cases where an injured person’s insurance company has said he or she is partially at fault for the accident.
Among the heads of damages under which compensation is possible through a lawsuit is pain and suffering. Compensation for pain and suffering is not available as part of no-fault accident benefits.
In addition, a lawsuit may provide claimants damages for:
- Economic losses, including lost wages not covered by no-fault accident benefits
- Health care and medical expenses
- Rehabilitation benefits
- Attendant care benefits
- Loss of dependency
- Funeral benefits
- Other out-of-pocket expenses
If you are the loved one of an injured person, you may also be able to receive compensation for the loss of care, guidance and companionship of that person.
