Why Barrie Injury Claims Require Local Knowledge

Barrie is one of Ontario’s fastest-growing cities, and with rapid development has come an increase in motor vehicle collisions, slip and falls, bike accidents, and construction-related injuries. Our firm understands the unique risks and patterns associated with accidents in:

• Highway 400 / Essa Road corridor

• Bayfield Street commercial zones

• Lakeshore Drive / Waterfront areas

• Big box parking lots (Georgian Mall, Mapleview Drive)

• Older multi-residential buildings with maintenance issues
   

Knowing how and where these incidents typically occur helps us build stronger, more accurate claims. For example, some of our employees live near Mapleview Drive. This allows us to understand how heavy construction in the area is causing serious traffic problems and more collisions.
