Personal Injury Settlements

While law suit settlements don’t make the news here, they can be sizable.  Defendants and insurance companies are inclined to negotiate our of court cash settlements because of the cost of fighting a law suit can be substantial for them and because the court may indeed award a large amount to the plaintiff. To limit those financial risks, out of court personal injury law suit settlements are frequent.

Personal Injury Law Suits

A personal injury law suit can take some time to complete. After a decision is made by Ontario courts, there may be appeals by the defendant and their insurance company. A case may take years to litigate and medical evidence is complicated and takes time to collect. In the pre-trial meeting, it is determined whether the matter will be settled out of court (mediation) or will go to trial. Cases that aren’t as serious can be finished fairly quickly. Cases that involve more extensive or long term injuries require much more preparation. Medical records must be collected and expert medical opinion is sought.
