Have you been involved in a car accident? Perhaps you were injured in a slip and fall. Whatever the cause of your accident and injuries, you should seek professional legal advice about your case.
If you call the offices of Raphael Barristers you will speak with an experienced and committed personal injury lawyer free of charge. You will be made aware of your rights and the best way for you to go about protecting them.
What if the accident was partially your own fault? If your actions have contributed to the accident, then you can still pursue a claim against other parties for the percentage that they are to blame for the accident.
What if you have a motor vehicle accident that is totally your own fault? Even if the accident was entirely your fault, you would still be entitled to significant accident benefits which could include loss of income benefits, medical benefits, rehabilitation benefits and payment for damaged clothing.
What if I can’t afford to pay for a lawyer? Affordability should not be a concern for people that seek our help. Subject to certain exceptions, we will take on your case and agree to be paid only if we are successful in achieving a settlement or Judgment at trial. That means you would only be required to pay the lawyers fees if a settlement is achieved or Judgment is obtained at trial. If the case is not successful then you would not be charged any fees.
Are there time limits that I should be aware of? The short answer to this is yes, many. For instance, under the Insurance Act, an action for loss or damage from bodily injury or death arising from the use or operation of an automobile shall not be commenced unless the Plaintiff has severed written notice of the intention to commence the action on the Defendant within 120 days after the incident. Further, Under the Limitation Act, a proceeding or law suit shall not be commenced in respect of a claim after the second anniversary of the day on which the claim was discovered (usually the day of the accident).
Raphael Barristers has been representing injured victims for over 50 years. We would be happy to discuss the particulars of you case with you any time. We are available for home or hospital visits.
