Frankford Personal Injury Lawyer


An unexpected injury caused by an accident can overturn a person’s entire life. While taking their kids to school, driving on their usual commute to work, or simply crossing the street to visit a friend, in one instant, without any warning, a person’s world could be irreparably altered.

It is not typical for people to plan for serious injury and there are few who have the financial resources to feel secure navigating the many costs that may arise throughout the course of recovery. It is common for injured accident victims to incur substantial debts as a result of financial losses they have had to undertake in order to pay for medical treatments, physiotherapy, and other expenses. The financial burden may impact those closest to an accident victim as well, as family members are forced to take on additional responsibilities to support their injured loved one. Layered on top of the pain and frustration of a physical injury, the financial ramifications of an accident may be overwhelming.

If you have been injured as a result of an accident that was caused by somebody else’s negligence, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Contact us today and speak through the specifics of your case with our Frankford personal injury lawyers.

Negligence in Personal Injury Law

When filing a civil claim for your accident, our team of Frankford personal injury lawyers will likely need to provide evidence that the accident was caused by the at-fault party’s negligent behaviour. What this means is that an individual or group of individuals engaged in wrongful conduct that led to the preventable accident in which you were injured. 

By law, in many contexts, people are required to adhere to certain safety standards and behave in a manner that is reasonably cautious and considerate of the wellbeing of others. For instance, drivers on Ontario highways are required to obey the laws set out in the Highway Traffic Act. An individual’s failure to obey speed limits, signal lane changes, or abstain from driving while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol are examples of negligence.

One person’s wrongful, negligent conduct can have devastating consequences on another’s life. A highway collision, for instance, may result in an accident victim’s hospitalization, or even death. Similarly, slip and fall accidents caused by the failure of property owners to adequately maintain the structural safety of their house may lead to broken bones, concussions, hip fractures, and more. 

Common injuries sustained in Frankford accidents include:

Examples of Negligence

Our team of Frankford personal injury lawyers has represented clients who have been injured in a wide range of traumatic accidents, including:

  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • ATV accidents
  • E-bike and e-scooter accidents
  • Sexual assault
  • Sexual abuse
  • Car accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Boating accidents
  • And more

Though the circumstances of each of these accidents may be vastly different, a common underlying factor for them all is that they often result from another party’s negligent or wrongful conduct. Often, it is an accident victim’s instinct to blame themselves and their own mistakes for their injuries, while in actuality the situation was not in their control. It is common for a situation that requires an accident victim’s hospitalization to have come from someone else’s negligence.

One example of negligence can be seen in the context of premises liability. The owners and occupiers of commercial or residential property are required by Ontario law to take reasonable measures to ensure that their visitors are safe. This typically means making necessary repairs to prevent visitors from slipping, tripping, or otherwise becoming injured on the property. Should the property owners and/or occupiers fail to take reasonable measures in the maintenance and repair of their premises, their negligence may cause serious injuries to guests, employees, passersby, customers, and others. 

Common examples of premises issues that can lead to injury include:

  • Wet and/or slippery floors
  • Poor lighting
  • Cluttered walkways
  • Broken stairs
  • Broken or absent handrails
  • Uneven surfaces such cracked tiles or hardwood
  • Cracked sidewalks
  • Loose carpeting
  • Improperly cleared ice and/or snow
  • And more

Another example of negligence that may have severe consequences for an accident victim is when a person operating a motor vehicle fails to comply with traffic laws, thereby causing a collision. Examples of driver negligence often resulting in injuries collisions include:

  • Driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol
  • Speeding
  • Texting while driving
  • Other forms of distracted driving
  • Failing to adhere to traffic signals (eg. lights, stop signs)
  • Tailgating
  • Improper lane changing
  • And more
