Personal Injury Lawyer Hamilton
The carelessness of others can transform a commonplace, everyday activity into a dangerous, injury-inducing encounter. Even the most cautious drivers, pedestrians, careful bicyclists, diligent motorcycle enthusiasts, and the public-at-large may be involved in a Hamilton personal injury accident. That’s why it is important to choose a Hamilton personal injury lawyer who you trust to handle your case.
Ordinary Hamiltonians’ lives can be significantly changed—if not completely destroyed—as a result of someone else’s inability to see the consequences of his or her actions. Or, an organization’s failure to operate safely.
Personal injury victims in Hamilton may have a range of symptoms, from slight to severe.
Accidents frequently result in injuries that demand hospitalization, missed work, rehabilitative therapies, and other costly medical treatments. The following are some of the most common injuries:
- Broken or fractured bones
- Cuts and lacerations
- Musculoskeletal injuries
- Neck and back injuries
- Internal organ damage
- Strains and sprains
- Facial and dental injuries

Personal injury accident victims in Hamilton who have been hurt as a result of another person’s negligence may discover that their injuries have a long-term impact on their lives. Accidents caused by the negligence of another party can even result in the victims’ premature death, depending on the circumstances.
An injury can have physical, psychological, emotional, and financial effects. Accident victims are frequently concerned about both their own future prospects and the financial security of their families. Personal accident injury victims don’t think about the consequences of such an accident until they experience them for themselves.

If an accident victim sustains injuries, their daily routine may be disrupted in a variety of ways. Depending on the circumstances of the incident and the extent of the victim’s injuries, injury-causing incidents can have far-reaching and even permanent consequences.
After even slight physical injuries, many accident survivors experience a variety of mental health issues. These issues may have such devastating consequences that they have a greater impact on the life of a critically damaged accident victim than physical disorders.
The mental health concerns of injured accident survivors may have an impact on their personal relationships, self-worth, and ability to perform professional obligations. Accident victims frequently develop disabling mental health issues, such as:
- Insomnia and/or other sleep disorders
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Alcohol abuse
- Prescription drug abuse
- Recreational drug abuse
- And more
Verkhovets Law, a personal injury law firm in Hamilton, believes that if you were injured as a result of another party’s or corporation’s wrong actions, the at-fault party should be forced to compensate you adequately. Our Hamilton personal injury lawyers may be able to help you collect damages previously incurred as well as prospective losses as a result of your injuries. Here are some examples of common losses:
- Pain and suffering
- Medical expenses
- Mobility aids, assistive medical equipment
- Physiotherapy
- Home modifications to accommodate newly acquired disabilities
- Ambulance services
- Mileage expenses to and from medical appointments
- Prescriptions
- Psychological counselling
- Housekeeping services
- Reduced future earning capability
- Lost wages due to missed work
- And possibly more
Similarly, being injured in a serious accident might have catastrophic financial effects. Nobody expects to be hurt in a car accident, a slip and fall, a pedestrian accident, or any other type of accident.
Few people can afford the financial consequences of a serious medical diagnosis. And it would be a mistake to believe that OHIP covers the entire costs medical test, therapies, and the costs of various specialists needed to recover from a personal injury accident caused by someone else’s negligence. Accident victims may be compelled to make difficult decisions, struggle to make ends meet, and be concerned about their families’ future financial stability.
This is especially true for accident survivors who have physical or mental health issues that preclude them from remaining in their current jobs. If a Hamilton resident is unable to work as a result of an injury caused by the negligence of another, they may find themselves in financial difficulty. Eventually, the various financial supports to personal injury victims provided by the Province of Ontario run out.
It is a sad fact: victims of catastrophic injury accidents will almost certainly be forced to live with the consequences of someone else’s actions for the rest of their lives. Accident victims who have lost their senses, limbs, movement, cognitive ability, or physical independence as a result of someone else’s negligence may face enormously difficult challenges every day, for the rest of their lives.
