Like in medicine, lawyers often focus their practice in a specific area of law. Litigation, Family Law, Estates, Real Estate, Corporate Law and Constitutional Law are a few examples of the many areas in which a lawyer can focus their practice.

As the name suggests, personal injury lawyers focus their practice on helping people who have been injured, either physically or psychologically, or both, due to the negligence of others. It could be a car or boat accident, a pedestrian or cyclist struck by a driver, a slip and fall, or a sexual abuse case, to name only a few examples. Some personal injury lawyers also handle medical and dental malpractice claims and many personal injury lawyers, including those at our firm, also handle long-term disability claims.

Why hire a personal injury lawyer?

A personal injury lawyer will help you navigate the court system, understand your rights and your responsibilities and help you prepare for examinations for discovery, mediation, settlement and trial. They will also refer you to the appropriate specialists to evaluate your injuries and make recommendations about treatment, where necessary. They will help you submit insurance claims and will work with your health care team to help you move toward recovery. If your injuries have caused you to be unable to return to work, they can also help you file documents and applications to obtain Canada Pension Plan Disability Benefits and/or Long-Term Disability Benefits.

A personal injury lawyer is knowledgeable on the latest legal requirements. They will provide you with their best advice on your options and will help you obtain fair compensation for your injuries.

The lawyers at Burn Tucker Lachaîne focus their practice solely on personal injury. Our three partners have also been certified as Specialists in Civil Litigation by the Law Society of Ontario. This certification recognizes their knowledge and experience in the field of civil litigation, which includes personal injury.
