A serious injury can affect your health, your ability to work, your independence, and your financial stability. With proper resources and support, it is often possible to recover better and more quickly. Siskinds’ personal injury team represents people who have suffered serious injuries in a wide range of circumstances, including injuries caused by unsafe products, neglect, workplace incidents, and more. We can help coordinate the resources you need to get your life back on track.
If you have suffered a serious injury that has caused disability, financial hardship, or long-term health concerns, it is worth speaking with a personal injury lawyer. Many people do not realize what types of assistance may be available in non-motor vehicle cases. There is often assistance available through homeowner’s or tenant’s insurance packages, private and group medical and disability packages, and government funded programs.
Representing a range of personal injury cases
Every injury case is different. Some claims involve a negligent person, business, property owner, product manufacturer, institution, or organization. Others involve questions about insurance coverage, disability benefits, care needs, or future income loss. Our role is to help determine what options may be available and guide you through the process.
Working with Siskinds means working with a dedicated personal injury team. We know the insurance system and the medical system and we are looking out for you. We will be with you every step of the way to make sure you get the support you deserve.
Types of injury claims we handle
Other injury claims may include many types of serious injury cases that do not fall into common categories. These cases may still involve legal rights, insurance coverage, disability benefits, or other forms of financial support.
Some of the kinds of cases where there may be assistance available include:
- injuries caused by poorly designed or manufactured products;
- injuries to children while in the care of others, including schools, daycare, camps, babysitters and even family members;
- elder abuse and neglect cases;
- workplace injuries;
- playground injuries;
- injuries on sidewalks and in other public facilities;
- wkiing and other recreational sports injuries;
- airline or cruise ship injuries;
- injuries resulting from over service of alcohol while at a bar.
The list could go on. In summary, if you are in doubt, don’t hesitate to call. We do not charge for an initial consultation.
Injury compensation and support
The types of compensation for a serious injury will depend on how the injury happened, who may be responsible, the insurance or benefits involved, and how the injury affects your daily life. In a personal injury claim, compensation may include support for:
- medical and rehabilitation expenses;
- income loss and loss of earning capacity;
- pain and suffering;
- future care needs;
- out-of-pocket expenses related to your injury.
Each case is unique. We work with medical and financial experts to assess the full impact of your injuries and build a claim that reflects both your current and future needs.
What can a personal injury lawyer do to help?
After a serious injury, your immediate focus should be on medical care and recovery. At the same time, important legal and financial questions can arise. You may need to understand who may be responsible, whether insurance coverage or benefits are available, how lost income may be addressed, and what support may be available.
At Siskinds LLP, our personal injury team can help by:
- reviewing how the injury happened and whether another person, business, institution, organization, or insurer may be involved;
- identifying potential sources of compensation, insurance coverage, disability benefits, or government-funded assistance;
- gathering medical records, incident reports, witness information, photographs, and other evidence;
- communicating with insurers and other parties on your behalf;
- assessing the long-term impact of the injury, including care needs, income loss, treatment costs, and changes to daily life; and
- helping you understand whether a legal claim may be available and what steps may come next.
