Car & Truck Accident Lawyers in Hamilton and Surrounding Areas
In Ontario, there are around 160,000 car crashes per-year. Around 45,000 of these crashes involve injuries to drivers, passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians. That means, on an average day 123 people a day are injured in crashes throughout Ontario. That is just in 1 day! Many crash victims will spend years dealing with significant injuries, running around to various medical appointments, dealing with financial struggles, and then coming to terms with permanent lifestyle adjustments. They always expected that their insurance company would take care of them and that the legal system would protect them, but often times, insurance companies won’t believe them and the legal system is the only resort to fight back.
Now this may be your first experience with dealing with an injury from a car crash and you might be surprised that your own insurance company would deny and fight you every step along the way, but this happens every day, all day to thousands of people across Ontario. This is how insurance companies make money, and they are very good at it.
