A car accident can have severe outcomes, often leading to a host of serious injuries, including lacerations. Lacerations can result in substantial health problems and permanent disfigurement. As a result of the injuries they have sustained in a collision, many accident survivors incur substantial financial losses, in addition to physical pain and emotional trauma. If you were involved in a car accident caused by someone else’s negligence and sustained compensable injuries as a result, contact our Guelph car accident lawyers today and receive a free initial consultation. To learn about options that might be available to you, call 1-800-JUSTICE.
Complications From Deep Lacerations
A deep laceration is more than just an unsightly cut. It qualifies as a major bodily injury, and if not treated quickly and properly, it can lead to a long list of complications, some of them life-threatening.
Among the issues we have seen in accident victims with deep lacerations are:
Blood Loss
Blood might just trickle out of a small cut, but it can rapidly leave your body if you suffer a large, deep laceration. Unfortunately, car accident victims in Canada lose their lives every year because they bleed to death before they are able to receive medical care. Accident victims with deep lacerations sometimes lose so much blood that they need a transfusion from a donor, particularly if they are anemic or lack adequate clotting factors.
Impaired Mobility
A deep laceration can impair your mobility while it heals. If you contort your body the wrong way, it can reopen the cut, forcing you to start the healing process over again. For this reason, doctors often recommend that patients stay home and rest, avoiding even light or moderate physical activity when they have suffered severe skin laceration.
Pain
The pain from a deep laceration can be all-consuming, preventing you from getting a good night’s sleep, working, or even enjoying a leisure activity such as reading or watching television.
Scarring And Disfigurement
Long after a deep laceration heals, you may be left with a daily visual reminder of the pain and trauma you went through in your accident. Though the body, including the skin, has a remarkable capacity to heal, a major cut often does not recover without producing visible scar tissue.
Infections
Another danger of a laceration is the possibility of infection, both when the injury occurs and during the healing process. We see people every year who are on the road to recovery but end up back in the hospital because of staph or another infection.

Compensation For Your Deep Laceration Car Accident Injuries
Preszler Injury Lawyers helps accident victims in Guelph take on the responsible party and recover the compensation they deserve. We fight the insurance companies and prevent our clients from being saddled with settlements that do not cover their full damages.
We may be able to help you recover a settlement or award that includes the following damages and more:
Current And Future Medical Bills
If someone else’s negligence led to your injuries, they, not you, should cover any medical costs that you have had to pay out of pocket—as well as any expenses you incur in the future as a result of your injury. That includes the cost of hospital stays, doctor visits, prescription medication, medical devices, physical therapy, rehab, and more.
Lost Wages
If you have had to miss work because of your injury, and you have forfeited pay as a result, we can help you go after the responsible party and their insurance company and get compensated for the income you have not received.
Reduced Earning Capacity
If your injury was so severe that it reduced your ability to earn a living on a Long-Term basis, we will pursue the responsible party and the insurance company for compensation to make up the difference between what you used to earn and what you earn now.
Pain And Suffering
Just because you cannot assign a dollar value to pain and suffering does not mean you do not deserve to receive compensation for it. A deep laceration is one of the most painful injuries you can receive, and it often leaves you with a visual daily reminder of what you went through. Preszler Injury Lawyers may be able to help you receive compensation for what you have had to endure.

personal injury FAQs
Here are some commonly asked questions for personal injury claims
How long does it typically take to resolve a personal injury case in Ontario?
Timelines vary. Some cases resolve in months, while others take years if litigation becomes necessary. Factors include injury severity, available evidence, and how insurers respond.
Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company has made an offer?
Insurance companies often make low offers hoping victims will accept quickly. A lawyer reviews your case to determine whether the offer reflects your losses.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
You may still have a valid claim even if you believe you were partially at fault. Ontario’s laws permit you to recover compensation in cases of shared responsibility, though the final amount may reflect your portion of fault. Never assume you cannot file a claim. Let a lawyer assess the facts first.
How long does a personal injury case typically take?
That will depend on the severity of your injuries and the insurer’s willingness to negotiate.
What costs are involved in pursuing a personal injury claim?
Preszler Injury Lawyers works on contingency, so you don’t pay legal fees unless we recover compensation for you.
Can I still claim compensation if the accident happened on someone else’s property?
Yes. Property owners must maintain safe premises. If their negligence caused your injury, you may have a valid claim.
What should I bring to my free consultation?
Bring any documents you have related to the accident. This includes police reports, your driver’s licence and insurance information, the other party’s information, photos of the scene or your injuries, and any receipts for expenses like prescriptions or therapy. The more information you provide, the better we can assess your claim.
Why is it important to document my injuries and recovery process?
Keeping a simple journal helps track how your injuries affect your daily life. Note your pain levels, medical appointments, missed work or social activities, and any challenges you face with personal care or household chores. This documentation provides powerful evidence to support your claim for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
