Vaughan Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer
Our Ontario personal injury law firm is able to represent spinal cord injury victims in Vaughan and throughout Ontario. Spinal cord injuries are devastating. They impact every aspect of an individual's life - and the lives of loved ones. Those who experience spinal cord injuries frequently endure significant physical pain, emotional anguish, and much more.
Those who have suffered a spinal cord injury require a legal team dedicated to helping facilitate required treatments, assessments with appropriate medical experts, and ensuring you receive every possible dollar in available compensation.
Individuals who suffer spinal cord injuries involving a motor vehicle will have access a no-fault accident benefits claim with a car insurance company. Usually, a spinal cord injury victim will be designated as catastrophically impaired and have access to up to $1,000,000 of funds for medical/rehabilitation and attendant care in addition to housekeeping benefits and potentially income replacement benefits.
While $1,000,000 sounds like a great deal of money, it is usually grossly insufficient for a spinal cord injury victim. Costs such as personal support workers, extensive home modifications, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, counselling, rehab therapy, assistive devices, can quickly erode the $1,000,000 funding limit.
These extensive costs mean that a spinal cord injury lawsuit against a negligent individual or company is often necessary to obtain proper compensation. It is also important for the spinal cord injury lawyer handling the case to think creatively about which other individual or companies may be liable for the injury to ensure that there are sufficient insurance policy limits to respond to the claims.
