Many people do not realize just how vital our hips and pelvis are to performing basic daily tasks. When someone receives an injury to their hip bones, pelvis, or both, the consequences can become significant. If you have suffered a hip or pelvis injury after a car accident, it is essential to not delay in seeking medical treatment. In the shock of a car accident or other type of accident, it can be tempting to put off treatment or assume your hip or pelvis will heal on its own. Nonetheless, hip and pelvis injuries, even minor ones, can result in osteoporosis. Osteoporosis, in turn, can become so severe that conducting daily tasks becomes difficult.

Common Hip Injuries Resulting From Motor Vehicle Accidents In Canada
Car accidents are a leading cause of hip and pelvis injuries. The force upon one’s body in a car accident can cause bone fractures, dislocation, and strains. If you’ve been in a motor vehicle accident, you should watch for signs and symptoms of injury. After the shock and adrenaline wear off, many car accident victims begin to feel increasing pain and discomfort.
Dislocated Hip
When the force from an accident pushes the knee into the car dashboard in a car accident, the hip can become dislocated. Many times people feel their hip pop out of its place. Frequently, extreme pain sets in when the hip becomes dislocated. Sometimes, emergency treatment is necessary because a person with hip dislocation may not be able to stand or walk. Other times, a fracture occurs along with a hip dislocation.
A Hip Or Pelvis Fracture
The forceful impact caused by a collision can cause the hip joint to become fractured. Hip joints are located at the top of the femur. The pelvic acetabular acts as a socket for the femur. When accidents cause hip fractures, the patient may require surgery to secure the bones in place. Sometimes, surgeons use screws to compress, fixate, or reduce a hip fracture. Other times, medical doctors will recommend non-surgical treatment such as physical therapy, pain medication, and modification of activities.
The pelvis is a group of bones arranged in a butterfly shape at the base of the spine. The pelvis consists of the ilium, ischium, and pubis bones held together by tough ligaments that form a girdle. Pelvis fractures are somewhat uncommon. They often happen as a result of high-speed accidents or falls from great heights. Sometimes, if a patient already has osteoporosis that weakens the bone, a slight slip and fall can cause a pelvic fracture. When a pelvis or hip fracture happens, the kidneys, bladder, genitals, or intestines may become damaged. A computed tomography (CT) scan can usually detect whether the pelvis or hip bones suffered a fracture.
Hip Implant Injuries
Replacing a natural hip bone with an artificial hip can help significantly with mobility. Sometimes, an artificial hip itself causes its significant personal injury. Health Canada reports that 12 out of 33 of its manufacturers have recalled their artificial hip implants. Defective hip implants cause the following symptoms:
- Swelling around the hip joint
- A limp or a favoring of one leg over the other leg
- Difficulty in rising from a reclined or seated position
- Reluctance to move due to the extreme pain
- Muscle and tissue damage
- Blood poisoning
- Cracking or crunching noises in the hip
If you are suffering from pain due to an artificial hip, time is of the essence. The experienced hip implant injury lawyers at Preszler Injury Lawyers will help you determine whether you have a product liability claim. Many people successfully bring artificial hip injury claims under Canadian law. If you do have a valid claim, we can help you assert your rights and receive compensation.

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.
