Why Seek the Assistance of a Personal Injury Lawyer in Niagara Falls?

Different Insurance Claims

  • Life insurance: LCW can help you get the insurance payout you are entitled to when you have been told that your claim for life insurance after the loss of a loved one has been denied.
  • Long-term disability: If you have been denied long-term disability benefits, even when your doctor has said that you cannot return to work, LCW can help you get the benefits to which you are entitled.
  • Accident Benefits: When you are involved in a motor vehicle accident, you are entitled to receive benefits from your own insurer or the insurer of a policy for which you are covered as a dependent etc. As part of your motor vehicle accident claim, we will assist you not only in your claim against the driver that caused the accident, but also in dealing with your own insurer to make sure you receive the treatment and income replacement benefits to which you are entitled.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A personal injury lawyer represents people who have been injured in accidents caused due to the fault or negligence of others. Personal injury lawyers help with insurance claims, accident benefits, getting compensation for pain and suffering, and can even connect you to top medical professionals.

    It is always best to contact a lawyer to assist you in these complex matters.

    You can find personal injury lawyers in St. Catharines through:

    1. Online legal directories (many also have rankings and ratings).
    2. Referrals from friends and family.
    3. An online search on Google and Facebook.
    4. Online and physical advertising.

    Do your research and speak to lawyers before deciding to work with them; cases can run on for months or years, so you should work with someone who is a right fit for you.

    If you or a loved one have suffered serious injuries in an accident, it’s essential you speak to a personal injury lawyer. Accidents can be ones like car accidents, bike accidents, trips and falls, and other accidents. 

    Every moment counts after a serious accident, which is why you should hire a personal injury lawyer sooner rather than later. Your lawyer can start collecting evidence immediately, help with insurance claims, and make sure you receive the treatment you need.

    There is no pre-determined percentage that personal injury lawyers should take because every case is different. The percentage (part of the contingency fee) can range anywhere between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case, the risk involved, and the resources the lawyers will have to devote to it.

    If you have suffered a significant injury due to the mistake or negligence of another person or organization, you can sue for your personal injury. A personal injury lawsuit can compensate you for pain and suffering, lost income, medical expenses, loss of enjoyment of life, and lost future earnings.

    You can sue up to two years (called the limitation period) after most accidents in St. Catharines, including with car accidents. Exceptions to this are, slip and fall accidents, which only have a 10-day limitation period. Though you can file a lawsuit after the limitation period has expired, it will be harder to convince the court to allow your claim.

    A personal injury case can take anywhere from six weeks to six months to settle, assuming the other party is ready to settle. This is why you need to work with a law firm like Lancaster Chown & Welch LLP; we have the capacity and capability to represent your interests vigorously and settle your case favourably.

    Settling is a cost-effective way to resolve a personal injury case: it avoids the uncertainty of protracted litigation, mounting legal costs, the mental toll of pursuing a case, and loss of income for time lost attending court hearings. Settlements also release the party at fault from future liability. 

    A personal injury lawsuit allows you to claim compensation for:

    • Pain and suffering
    • Property damage
    • Medical expenses
    • Loss of income
    • Disfigurement
    • Loss of social life
    • Attendant care costs

    It also allows your loved ones to claim under the Family Law Act for the caregiving services they provide.

    A serious injury puts a tremendous financial burden on you and your family. Rather than add to that with hourly fees, we offer a contingency fee, better known as “No Win, No Fee.” That means you do not have to pay legal fees if you don’t receive compensation. 

    The contingency fee typically ranges between 25% and 40%, though you should speak to your lawyer about how much it will be for your case.
