How Our Personal Injury Law Firm Can Help

At Van Dyke Law, we offer a comprehensive range of legal representation to address the diverse needs of our clients. Our exemplary services are designed to provide thorough support in various aspects of personal injury claims. These services include, but are not limited to:

Recovering Lost Wages: We understand the financial strain that can result from being unable to work due to an injury. Our team diligently works to secure compensation for the income you have lost during your recovery period.
Assistance with Medical Bills: Medical expenses can quickly accumulate following an accident. We strive to ensure that you receive the necessary funds to cover your medical bills, including hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatments.
Property Damage: Beyond personal injuries, accidents often result in property damage. We help clients obtain compensation to repair or replace damaged property, ensuring that you are not left to shoulder these costs alone.
Emotional Recovery: The aftermath of an accident can be emotionally challenging. We advocate for compensation that acknowledges the emotional and psychological impact of your experience, supporting your journey towards emotional recovery.

What You Should Do

If you’ve suffered an injury, it is crucial to attend all medical appointments and adhere to your doctor’s recommendations to facilitate your recovery.
Ensure you collect all medical records and documentation detailing the extent of your injuries and the treatments you received.
Avoid discussing or posting about your accident and injuries on social media.
When dealing with insurance companies, use caution with your language and avoid accepting their initial offer.

Most importantly, contact a personal injury attorney in Ontario to ensure your rights are protected and you receive the compensation you deserve.

How Long Do I Have To Make A Personal Injury Claim?

In Ontario, the time you have to make a personal injury claim, also known as the statute of limitations, is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, this timeline can vary greatly depending on the situation and inflicted injuries. It’s best to contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible following your injury to ensure your rights are protected.

Gathering Evidence

Proper documentation is crucial when filing a personal injury claim. It is essential to gather the following key pieces of evidence as soon as possible after your injury:

Police Reports: Official documentation from law enforcement detailing the incident.
Medical Records: Comprehensive records of your injuries and treatments.
Eyewitness Statements: Testimonies from individuals who witnessed the incident.
Photo/Video Evidence: Visual documentation of the accident and resulting injuries.

In the immediate aftermath of your injury, you may not be in a position to collect this information yourself. That’s why it’s vital to contact a personal injury lawyer in Ontario as soon as possible. By entrusting Van Dyke Law with your case, you can focus on your recovery while we handle gathering evidence and managing the legal complexities on your behalf.
