Waterloo Personal Injury Lawyer


The negligence of others can put the lives of students, seniors, children, and other Waterloo residents at risk. In the time it takes a negligent driver to glance away from the road to send a text message reply, family members can lose loved ones and unsuspecting road-users can sustain severe injuries.

Motor vehicle operators throughout the province have a legal responsibility to provide a duty of care to all road-users, not just other drivers. That means anyone who operates a vehicle in and around the Waterloo area has a legal obligation to exercise reasonable caution behind the wheel so as to protect the physical safety of:

  • Cyclists
  • Pedestrians
  • Motorcycle riders
  • Vehicle passengers
  • Other motorists
  • And others

Unfortunately, when the operators of motor vehicles violate local traffic laws and engage in unsafe behaviours behind the wheel, even the most safety-conscious road-user could be seriously injured. Innocent Waterloo residents who are simply walking down the street, riding your bike to class, returning to your vehicle in a parking lot, driving home from work or engaging in any sort of routine activity could be injured or killed in an accident caused by a negligent party.

Most injury-causing accidents in Waterloo are entirely preventable. Were it not for someone else’s negligence, many traumatic events that send unsuspecting accident victims to the hospital or the morgue would never occur in the first place.

Our personal injury lawyers serving Waterloo offer a free initial consultation to injured members of the local community. If you were hurt in an accident caused by someone else’s wrongful conduct, you might be entitled to compensation. To review the manner in which your injuries were sustained and learn about options for financial recovery you may be able to pursue, call 1-800-JUSTICE and schedule your free initial consultation with our Waterloo personal injury lawyers.

Common examples of these traumatic, injury-causing events that frequently occur in the Waterloo region include:

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

Living with the Consequences of Someone Else’s Negligence

Most negligent parties do not consider how their wrongful behaviour could potentially impact another person’s life for years or even decades to come. Careless drivers who use their cell phones while their vehicles are in motion, property owners/occupiers who fail to repair unsafe maintenance issues on their premises, recreational motor vehicle operators who joyride under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, and other negligent parties in the Waterloo region never consider that, by engaging in unsafe and unlawful behaviour, they may inadvertently kill or severely injure someone else.

Unfortunately, the unlawful actions of a small number of people can have serious repercussions for undeserving accident victims and their families. Accidents in Waterloo frequently result in injuries requiring hospitalization, long periods of rehabilitation, and other measures that are often as expensive as they are essential to an accident victim’s recovery. Injuries that frequently sustained in Waterloo accidents can have long-term effects on an accident survivor’s physical well-being, cognitive functions, social behaviour, mental health, ability to maintain social relationships, and financial stability.

This is especially true of accident survivors who are no longer able to work because of the injuries they have sustained, as well as those who must forfeit educational opportunities because their injuries make it impossible for them to complete their studies. Because of someone else’s negligence, injured accident survivors could find it impossible to continue working and lose substantial wages as a result. Moreover, injured students unable to finish their requisite training because of the injuries they sustained in an accident may be unable to find employment in their chosen occupational field and suffer financial losses related to their now reduced future earning capacity.

Thanks to a negligent party’s wrongful conduct, those fortunate enough to survive traumatic accidents often sustain a host of injuries, including:

  • Broken or fractured bones
  • Cuts and lacerations
  • Strains and sprains
  • Musculoskeletal injuries
  • Facial and dental injuries
  • Internal organ damage
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries 
  • Paralysis
  • Concussions
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Amputations
  • And more

Depending on the severity of the injuries they have sustained, many accident survivors find themselves struggling emotionally. It is not uncommon for accident victims to find the process of recovering from physical injuries to be isolating, lonely, and disheartening. Everything can seem hopeless in the aftermath of an injury-causing accident, especially if the accident victim is unable to afford the necessary costs of medical care. It is no wonder, therefore, that physically injured accident survivors frequently develop severe mental health issues, including:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Insomnia and/or other sleep disorders
  • Alcohol use disorder
  • And more

No one should be forced to endure the physical pain, emotional stress, and financial instability from which so many injured accident victims suffer. If someone else’s misconduct caused you to be injured, they should be held accountable for their actions.
