Ottawa personal injury questions
Every situation is different. The best way to understand your options is a free, no-obligation consultation.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer at Brooker Law?
Your first consultation is free and comes with no obligation. If you hire the firm for a personal injury claim, legal fees are charged under a written contingency fee agreement you are not asked to pay legal fees out of your pocket, and you don’t pay legal fees until money is recovered for you. The fee is a percentage of the recovery, typically between 20% and 33⅓%, depending on the complexity, risks and work involved.
The insurance company has already offered me money. Do I still need a lawyer?
Even if an insurance company offers you compensation, it’s wise to get independent legal advice to make sure you’re treated fairly. Otherwise, you may not be compensated for all of your expenses, the time you missed from work, or the pain and suffering you experienced.
Will my case have to go to court?
Not necessarily. Speaking with a lawyer doesn’t mean you’ll end up in court most cases are settled before they ever reach court. Because car owners, homeowners and renters generally have insurance, much of the work involves dealing with insurance companies. If a case does proceed to court, it is only with the client’s consent.
How soon should I contact a lawyer after an accident?
As soon as possible. Strict time limits and notice requirements can apply to injury and insurance claims in Ontario, and some are shorter than people expect. Speaking with a lawyer early helps protect your right to recover damages. If you’ve been injured, seek medical attention first even if the injury seems minor.
What types of personal injury cases does Brooker Law handle?
The firm handles motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall claims, disability insurance claims, bus and OC Transpo accidents, cycling accidents, accident benefits and other insurance claims, and animal attacks and dog bites for clients in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario.
My long-term disability claim was denied. Can you help?
Yes. The most common reason for a denial is that the insurer disagrees about whether you meet the policy’s test for disability. Brooker Law works to document your situation thoroughly and to persuade the insurer to accept your claim and, if necessary, can pursue a lawsuit against the insurance company for the benefits you may be entitled to.
I was bitten by a dog in Ottawa. Who is responsible?
Under Ontario’s Dog Owners’ Liability Act, a dog’s owner is responsible for its actions. See a doctor right away, as bites can lead to serious infections, then contact us to discuss your options.
What should I include when I request a consultation?
Just your contact details, the type of accident, and a sentence or two about what happened. Please don’t include medical records or detailed health information in the online form we’ll discuss the details with you directly.
