Toronto Personal Injury Lawer Blog - Findlay Law

Every automobile accident is different. The type of accident, the speeds involved, and whether or not you were wearing your seatbelt will all contribute to the nature and severity of injuries incurred. Many accident injuries can lead to permanent disabilities and lost income. Even relatively minor problems can lead to reduced abilities for which you should be compensated.

Some common auto accident injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injury
• Spinal cord injury
• Whiplash
• Back injuries
• Broken bones

Regardless of the type of accident you are involved in, you should seek medical attention to ensure that you are really ok. The increase in adrenaline following an accident can mask symptoms of serious underlying injuries about which you may not be aware. If left untreated, these injuries may worsen and result in a debilitating condition.

In most cases, under Canada's "no fault" insurance protection laws, you can seek relatively quick and adequate compensation for medical treatment. However, it may be more difficult to be compensated for severe injuries that cause a loss of income or result in disability. The law does allow you to seek additional compensation using tort law for pain and suffering and lost wages.
