HOW OUR ONTARIO LEGAL TEAM CAN HELP YOU AFTER A PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT

At Martinez@Consulting Inc., we have a long and proud history of standing up for Ontario residents when they need it most. Over the years, our Ontario personal injury Paralegal Teams have helped numerous clients recover compensation after being struck by a vehicle while walking around town. When you ask us to help you with your case, we will:

ACCURATELY ASSESS YOUR DAMAGES

When pedestrian, bicycle, motorcycle, and car accidents occur in Ontario, it is not at all unusual for the victims to underestimate the amount of medical care they will require – and demand too little compensation from the at-fault party. As a result, they often have to pay for some of their expenses out of their own pocket.

To try to prevent this nightmare scenario from happening to you and your family, the Paralegal Teams at Martinez@Consulting Inc., will review the details of your injury and assess your damages. Our skilled legal team has been working in the industry for many years, so you can be confident that our assessment is accurate.

SEARCH FOR EVIDENCE TO HELP YOUR CASE

If you wish to emerge from your Ontario pedestrian accident lawsuit with the compensation you deserve, you will need to prove that:

• The other party owed you a duty of care
• The other party’s negligence breached that duty of care
• The other party’s breach of duty caused you to suffer an injury
• Your injury is as debilitating as you claim

To prove these four points, you will most likely need to present the court with a plethora of relevant evidence, like:

• Medical records
• Police accident reports
• Traffic camera footage
• Witness testimony

Having spent many years in the legal field, our Paralegal Teams know who to speak with to find these evidentiary materials. When you hire us, we will be more than happy to assist you with your search.

NEGOTIATE WITH THE OTHER PARTY’S INSURANCE COMPANY

Once your pedestrian accident lawsuit gets underway, the other party’s insurance company may offer you a settlement. If you are interested in considering such a deal, our team of Paralegal Teams will be more than happy to help you negotiate the terms.

Our law team has been negotiating settlements with Ontario insurers for many years. As such, we know what it takes to convince them to be a little more generous with their funds. When you work with us, you can be confident that your interests will be well represented at the negotiating table.

COMMON INJURIES SUSTAINED BY THE VICTIMS OF PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS

When pedestrians get into motor vehicle accidents in Ontario, the results are often devastating. It is not unusual for the victims of these collisions to sustain severe injuries that leave them with long-term health issues or permanent disabilities.

Some of the most common injuries sustained in Ontario pedestrian accidents include:

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES

When pedestrian accidents cause Ontarians to hit their heads against the pavement or another solid object, they often sustain traumatic brain injuries. As a result, they may experience symptoms like:

• Loss of balance
• Loss of consciousness
• Memory loss
• Seizures
• Nausea

These symptoms can last anywhere from a few days to several decades.

SPINAL CORD INJURIES

Ontarians who endure trauma to their backs during pedestrian accidents regularly report to the hospital with spinal cord injuries. These injuries are most often associated with symptoms such as:

• Breathing issues
• Loss of bladder control
• Loss of bowel control
• Numbness
• Paralysis

Treating spinal cord injuries is rarely easy. Patients often need to undergo extensive surgery and years of physical therapy.

INTERNAL ORGAN INJURIES

When pedestrians get hit by cars in Ontario, their torsos tend to endure a great deal of trauma. As a result, they often sustain injuries to their internal organs. The heart, lungs, liver, and intestines are all among the most frequently damaged organs.

FACIAL DISFIGUREMENT

Pedestrian accidents in Ontario frequently leave victims with scars, broken bones, and other forms of facial disfigurement. These injuries can be painful both physically and emotionally. As such, they are usually treated with a combination of plastic surgery and months of psychiatric care.

AMPUTATIONS

Walkers who get hit by cars, trucks, and SUVs in Ontario tend to suffer a great deal of damage to their arms and legs. Unfortunately, if this damage is too severe – and doctors do not have the ability to treat it – they are often forced to have their limb amputated at the hospital.
