Justice for you, at every step.

Many personal injury cases settle before they get to trial but there are no guarantees. For some of our clients, the thought of entering a courtroom can be intimidating. There is no question, the uncertainty of going to trial can be stressful. There are rules and procedures you may not understand. You may be apprehensive about taking the witness stand and reliving the accident that led to your injury. However, please be assured that you are in good hands. We have more than 30 years of experience fighting for our clients, in and out of court. We will be there with you every step of the way.

Going to trial is not always necessary. Many personal injury claims are resolved through negotiation or settlement before reaching the courtroom. If a trial becomes necessary in your case, we will explain your options, help you understand what to expect, and prepare you for each stage of the process.

We are skilled litigators who effectively handle courtroom situations. We will guide you through the process, tell you what to expect, prepare you to testify and alleviate your fears. Don’t view a trial as something to fear. Look at it as an opportunity to get the justice you deserve and the compensation you need to put your life back on track.

Every personal injury case is different and determined by its own unique facts. Will you have to go to court? That all depends on the circumstances and the willingness of both sides to reach an amicable settlement.

An experienced lawyer knows that while taking a case to trial is always a possibility, it is the last option when all else has failed. Court is expensive and time consuming. Negotiating a settlement is obviously preferable because it gets you the compensation you require much quicker than going through a trial.

Still, there are times when liability is in dispute. The person responsible for your injury could refuse to admit their fault. Often there can be a problem coming to an agreement on the amount of compensation you may be entitled to so a trial may be necessary.

We believe in preparing for any contingency. We never leave anything to chance. We will gather evidence and build a solid case to support your claim for a negotiated settlement while keeping an eye on the possibility that we may have to go to trial. We will stand by you and provide a wealth of expertise. However, we will always be guided by your wishes.

You may have a personal injury claim if you were injured because of another person’s or organization’s negligence or wrongful conduct and suffered losses as a result. Whether you have a valid claim depends on how the injury happened, who may be legally responsible, and the impact the injury has had on you.

Sometimes responsibility may be relatively clear, such as when a driver runs a red light and causes a collision. In other situations, such as slipping on ice on someone’s property, determining whether someone was negligent can be more complicated.

A personal injury claim may include losses such as medical and rehabilitation expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and the impact the injury has had on your quality of life.

You may also still be able to pursue a claim if you were partly responsible for what happened. Under Ontario law, when an injured person’s own fault contributed to their damages, compensation can be reduced according to their share of responsibility rather than necessarily preventing the claim altogether.

If you are unsure whether you have a personal injury claim, contact Yegendorf Rashid for a free consultation. We can review your circumstances, explain your rights, and discuss the legal options that may be available to you.

There is no fixed amount or formula for determining what a personal injury case is worth. The value of a claim depends on the circumstances of the case, including the nature and severity of your injuries, the financial losses you have suffered, and how the injuries have affected your life and may continue to affect you in the future.

Depending on the circumstances, compensation in a personal injury claim may include medical and rehabilitation expenses, lost income and loss of earning capacity, future care costs, pain and suffering, and other financial and non-financial losses resulting from the injury.

Several factors can affect the value of a claim, including the severity and duration of your injuries, whether you have a permanent impairment, your ability to return to work, your ongoing treatment and care needs, and the impact of the injury on your independence and quality of life.

The amount you may ultimately recover can also be affected by the type of claim and the legal rules that apply. For example, motor vehicle accident claims in Ontario are subject to specific rules that can affect certain damages and benefits.

Because every personal injury claim is different, an experienced personal injury lawyer can assess the circumstances of your case, the losses you have suffered, and your future needs to help determine the compensation you may be entitled to pursue. At Yegendorf Rashid, we can review your claim, explain the factors that may affect its value, and help you understand the compensation that may be available to you.

After you have suffered an injury in an accident, the first thing on your mind should be seeking medical attention. Once you have received the care you need and you believe you have a claim, you should contact a personal injury lawyer immediately. After an accident, you only have two years to file a claim under Ontario’s Limitations Act. There may be exceptions depending on your circumstance but failing to file in time could mean the insurance company will be able to refuse coverage.

Your injury could leave you unable to work and pay for your expenses, therapies and everyday expenses. Talking to a lawyer immediately can help get you the compensation you need and deserve sooner so you can concentrate on your recovery. At Yegendorf Rashid, we offer a free consultation to help you understand your options and take the right next steps.

Without legal advice, you may be pressured into accepting an insurance settlement that looks fair but may fail to address your future needs. Insurance can be complex. The team at Yegendorf Rashid can help cut through the jargon and explain the terms and conditions and how they affect you.

Remember, insurance companies have their own financial bottom line to consider and it is not uncommon for them to offer something less than what your injury may be worth. Our knowledgeable lawyers know the value of injuries and losses and will fight to get you the best possible settlement.

Time can be of the essence, especially when it comes to gathering evidence to prove your claim. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can start building your case.

The law is complex. It is possible to settle a case without legal advice but you could be leaving a great deal of money on the table without a lawyer’s help.

After you have been hurt your focus should be on your recovery. Settling a claim can not only be timing-consuming but stressful. You may be inclined to accept a subpar offer just so you don’t have to deal with the insurance company anymore. However, a lawyer will work tirelessly to ensure any offer meets all your needs.

A personal injury lawyer can examine the merits of your case and calculate your financial needs – not only now, but in the future. We have represented people who have suffered injuries just like yours and we know how to negotiate with insurance companies to obtain a fair settlement for our clients.
