Car accidents are among the most common personal injury cases we handle at Mirian Law Firm. We assist clients with Accident Benefits and negligence (Tort) claims. Suppose you have been injured in a car accident, whether due to your fault or another driver’s negligence; we can help you secure the compensation you deserve. In Ontario, you can claim accident benefits regardless of fault. These benefits cover medical rehabilitation, income replacement, and non-earner benefits to aid recovery. Additionally, you can pursue a Tort claim to prove that the accident and damages resulted from another driver’s negligence.
Dog Bite
Dog bite cases are another frequent type of personal injury claim. These cases are governed by the Dog Owner’s Liability Act and are considered strict liability offenses. This means that a negligent act by the dog owner is sufficient for a claim, and intent does not need to be proven. The dog owner is responsible for any damages caused by their dog.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice claims arise when a healthcare professional deviates from the accepted standard of care, harming a patient. This can include errors in medication, surgery, diagnosis, or treatment plans, as well as complications during childbirth. Such cases require proving that the negligence significantly impacted the patient’s health and well-being.
Slip and Fall
Slip and fall claims involve injuries sustained from slipping, tripping, or stumbling due to another party’s negligence. This can include failures by municipalities to maintain roads and walkways. Documenting the scene, including taking notes and photos and preserving evidence such as damaged clothing, is crucial. If the incident involved ice or snow, you must notify the responsible party within 60 days of the accident. This notice should include the incident’s date, time, and location and be sent by registered mail. You have two years to file a formal lawsuit from the date the notice is served. Meeting this deadline is crucial, as failing to do so can prevent you from pursuing a claim.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful death claims arise when negligence or an omission results in someone’s death. Typically, the deceased person’s loved ones bring forward this claim. Common examples include vehicular homicide, reckless driving, and accidental poisoning.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents occur when a pedestrian is injured due to a driver’s negligence. It is essential to document the incident thoroughly by taking pictures of the vehicle, injuries, and any visible damages.
