“Outstanding! Don has helped me greatly with multiple scenarios, and I have nothing but great things to say. He has been very thorough, informative, and dedicated, and I would highly recommend him! I have always had my calls, emails, and questions responded to clearly and quickly, and thoroughly. I am thankful for his knowledge and expertise. He has absolutely gone “above and beyond”, and has more than exceeded our expectations. Worth every penny – without a doubt in my mind.”
“Sandra is a determined individual who will stop at nothing to get to the truth. We approached her knowing that you cannot win a fight against the powerful who have access to unlimited resources. We were wrong!
Sandra dug to the bottom and exposed the mistruths and fabrications that led to a very traumatic termination. In the end the truth was so obvious that a settlement was achieved. We can thank Sandra for her willingness to step up for us even when we were at the point of giving up. She kept us on track and would not give up on our behalf. The settlement was sweet vindication for having suffered a great deal as a family. We wish her all the best and will continue to recommend her to anyone who has to take on an insurmountable opponent. She proved that it can and should be done when a client is innocent and was not given a fair hearing. Her attention to detail and her ability to drill down and pinpoint the untrue “evidence” amazed us. She stuck to the facts in the case.”
“Most compassionate caring law firm I’ve ever experienced....the treatment I received from Mr. Ferguson was professional and I felt confident in his abilities and am honoured to have done business with this law firm.”
Your Questions, Answered
Can I sue if I have been injured in an accident involving a motor vehicle?
Whether you can sue the driver that caused the accident will depend on how serious your injury is and how well you have recovered. Under Ontario law, you must have either a permanent and serious disfigurement (eg. scarring) or a “permanent serious impairment” of and important function before you can sue for pain and suffering. There is also a large deductible that applies to pain and suffering claims, and that deductible increases every year.
Can I sue if I have been injured in a slip/trip and fall?
If you have been injured as a result of a slip and fall or trip and fall, and the owner of the property or premises was negligent, you have the right to sue. Unlike a car accident case, there is no deductible in a slip and fall or trip and fall case.
What are accident benefits?
Accident benefits (also known as “no fault insurance”) are a bundle of benefits that are included under your automobile insurance policy and they may include: medical and rehabilitation, attendant care, income replacement, non-earner, caregiver and housekeeping to name a few. What benefits are included under your auto insurance policy will depend on the premium that you have paid but every auto insurance policy will include a minimum amount of accident benefit coverage.
