How a Georgina Personal Injury Lawyer May Be Able to Help
Depending on the severity of your injuries and the manner in which they were sustained, because of someone else’s negligence, your entire life could be disrupted. Severe accidents even have the potential to cause permanent or catastrophic injuries.
Even sustaining moderate injuries can deeply impact an accident victim’s life. In many situations, people who have sustained injuries find the recovery process to be isolating, disheartening, and emotionally challenging. As a result, injured accident victims often develop concerning mental health issues. Because of someone else’s negligence, injured Georgina residents could develop debilitating psychological issues, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and more.
On top of the physical and emotional burden injured accident victims are often forced to shoulder, sustaining injuries in an accident can be an overwhelmingly expensive predicament. In fact, many injured survivors of severe accidents find themselves struggling to make ends meet because of the significant financial impact of their accident. And when the injuries they have sustained make it impossible for accident survivors to carry out the duties of their job, they may no longer be able to earn their regular wages, putting their financial future and the future of their dependents at risk.
If you were injured in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, our personal injury lawyers serving Georgina may be able to help you pursue a civil claim against the at-fault party whose failure to consider your safety caused your injurious accident to occur. By doing so, our Georgina personal injury lawyers may be able to help you recover damages you have incurred as a direct result of your injuries. These damages might include:
- Medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Physiotherapy
- Mobility aids, assistive medical equipment
- Prescriptions
- Home modifications to accommodate newly acquired disabilities
- Ambulance services
- Mileage expenses to and from medical appointments
- Housekeeping services
- Psychological counselling
- Lost wages due to missed work
- Reduced future earning capability
- And possibly more

Determining Liability for Injuries Caused by Accidents
At Preszler Injury Lawyers, we believe that no matter where an injurious accident occurs, if it was the result of someone else’s failure to properly execute their duty of care, the at-fault party should be held responsible for their wrongful actions. If a party or entity fails to fulfil their duty of care and someone else is injured as a result, they may be considered negligent. If so, they may be required to financially compensate the people who were injured as a result of their wrongful conduct. But who determines which people or organizations owe someone else a duty of care?
As it so happens, many people throughout the province owe a duty of care to one another. For example, in accordance with provincial legislation, anyone who owns or occupies commercial or residential property in this province is responsible to ensure it is in safe condition for visitors. Failing to remove potential hazards, repair dangerous maintenance issues, or provide guests with sufficient warning about unsafe features on their premises could make a property owner/occupier liable for damages incurred by people who have sustained injuries as a result of their negligence. Most frequently in Georgina, injurious accidents on other people’s properties are the results of improperly cleared ice and/or snow.
Drivers and other motor vehicle operators are subject to similar rules. In accordance with the province’s Motor Vehicle Act, anyone who owns and/or operates a vehicle is required to use caution behind the wheel and obey local traffic laws. By remaining vigilant and considerate of other people’s safety, drivers could avoid potentially life-threatening accidents. When drivers violate traffic laws, even for a moment, fatal accidents can occur. If a driver’s wrongful conduct on the road leads to an injurious accident, they might be considered negligent. Common examples of driver negligence include:
- Texting while driving
- Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs
- Speeding
- Distracted driving
- Ignoring traffic signs/signals
- And more
If you are unsure whether your accident was the result of another party’s negligence, call 1-800-JUSTICE and discuss the details of your case with our Georgina personal injury lawyers in a free first meeting.

personal injury FAQs
Here are some commonly asked questions for personal injury claims
What does a lawsuit look like?
Every personal injury lawsuit is generally comprised of five main parts. The length of time each part takes can vary depending on the complexity of your case. Your lawyer will help you through each stage by providing tailored advice and strong legal representation.
You can expect:
- Statement of Claim: This is a formal document that initiates the personal injury claim against the at-fault party (or individual you are suing).
- Examination for Discovery: This is a meeting where you and your lawyer will ask the opposing party questions about the claim, the accident, fault, and anything else that is deemed relevant. The opposing party will also have the opportunity to ask you questions.
- Gathering of Evidence: Your legal team will gather a variety of evidence on your behalf to strengthen your claim. This might include medical records, police reports, images from the accident scene, witness testimony, expert opinions, and more.
- Mediation: If you would like to attempt to settle without going to trial, you will likely undertake mediation. Mediation involves you and the opposing party negotiating the terms of your settlement with the assistance of a neutral third party.
- Trial: If you are unable to reach a settlement during mediation, your claim will proceed to trial. During trial, your lawyer will present your case and the evidence they have gathered before a judge (and sometimes a jury). Once complete, the judge will decide the final amount of compensation you’re entitled to.
It’s important to note that a majority of personal injury claims are settled through mediation, out of court. Our Toronto personal injury lawyers help guide clients through each of these stages, so they don’t have to navigate the legal complexities alone.
How much will I have to pay for lawyers’ fees?
Our personal injury lawyers work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning we only get paid if you win your case. A percentage of the settlement you receive will go towards lawyers’ fees. There are no upfront, out-of-pocket payments required.
What type of compensation can I expect to get?
When you’re injured in an accident due to someone else’s negligence, there are many different types of compensation you may be eligible to receive. The amount and kind will depend on the severity of your injury and the specifics of your case.
Common damages you might claim include:
- Pain and suffering
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Loss of income
- Housekeeping losses
- Medical costs
- Legal costs
- And more
Our experienced Toronto personal injury attorneys will help maximize what you can recover by exploring your case and eligibility in depth. We aim to ensure that the compensation you receive reflects not only your current suffering, but the lifelong effects that your accident may have in the future.
When can I sue for non-pecuniary general damages (e.g. pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, etc.)?
In Ontario, you can sue for non-pecuniary damages if you have suffered a permanent and serious impairment of an important physical, mental, or psychological function, or permanent, serious disfigurement. This is known as the “threshold.” If you meet this threshold, you can sue for general damages such as pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and other similar losses.
How long will it take to settle my case?
The length of time it takes to settle a case depends on several factors, including the complexity of the case, the extent of your injuries, and whether the other parties involved are willing to settle. Some cases can be settled in a few months, while others can take years.
How long will the process take?
The length of time a personal injury claim can take varies widely according to the specifics of your case. While some cases settle in a matter of months, some can take anywhere from two to four years.
Some factors that affect the duration of personal injury claims include:
- Complexity of your injuries
- Each party’s willingness to settle
- Whether a claim goes to court
- Insurance company cooperation
- Availability of evidence
- And more
When liability is clear or injuries/damages are more clearly documented, cases may move faster. A personal injury lawyer will make sure the process keeps moving, although sometimes delays (like court backlogs) are unavoidable. Seeking personal injury legal advice early may help you streamline your timeline.
How long do I have to sue?
In Ontario, generally speaking you have two years from the date of your injury-causing accident to file a claim. However, based on the circumstances of your individual case, this timeline could be subject to additional limitations.
Do I have a strong case?
After taking advantage of a free initial consultation with our personal injury lawyers, the strength of your case can be evaluated based on the evidence available and the specific circumstances of your accident. Our personal injury lawyers offer case-specific legal feedback to help you understand the strengths and weaknesses of your case and advise you on legal options that might be available.
