Show Notes

• Injured on cottage property: It is not uncommon for individuals to experience injuries due to negligence on cottage properties. Rental properties must follow building codes in order to prevent potential injuries. Individuals should document all elements of the incident and resulting injury. Documentation can include pictures of the environment. The property owner is considered responsible and their insurance can provide benefits to injured parties.
• Injured in a car accident: Many individuals injured in a car accident are not ready or able to pursue their own entitlements. This can be due to serious injuries or an unwillingness to pursue legal action. Close friends and family members should try their best to advocate for those suffering from an injury. Both medical professionals and legal experts can provide vital help to those who believe they are helpless after an accident occurs.
• Pedestrians with minor injury after a collision: In the event of a collision between a motor vehicle and a pedestrian, the driver must prove that they were not negligent or at fault. Pedestrians that sustain injuries due to the accident are entitled to benefits and damages. The severity of the injury will determine the amount of benefits eligible.
