Anyone who has been injured at work or in public knows that there are real causes for their injury. People all over the Toronto area need assistance receiving compensation for their unexpected slip and fall. When you are injured on the job or in public, an personal injury lawyer can handle the case for you from start to finish.
The Investigation
Your attorney can look into your injury to figure out what happened to cause your injury. If there was negligence involved, you will find that your attorney can argue that you deserve compensation because of said negligence.
When the accident happens at work, your attorney will need information about your work conditions. You will need to submit evidence to your attorney that is going to tell them what happens when you are at work. If your attorney does not have this information, they cannot pursue the case at all.
Negotiation
You may want to have a settlement happen outside of court, and your Juris Doctor can lead negotiations with the guilty party for a settlement. These cases are usually never filed in court because your attorney can work with the guilty party’s attorney to come to an agreement. You do not need to be at these meetings if you do not want to be, and your attorney will speak on your behalf.
Negotiation may lead to action in court, and your attorney can handle the court case if they must appear before a judge. Also, the attorney can handle all the paperwork that is required to take the case to court. You will find that there is a great deal of work to be done if you go to court, and it is best to allow your lawyer to handle the case from investigation to a resolution.
Choosing Cases
Attorneys have to be honest with you when they are choosing their cases, and they may tell you that they cannot take your case. There are things that attorneys cannot overcome. There are cases that have little to no evidence, and there are cases that have very little precedent. When your attorney tells you they cannot take your case because it would be too difficult to litigate, you need to look for more evidence or accept that the case cannot be settled in your favor.
When you need compensation for your unexpected slip and fall, you need to work with an attorney who knows how to investigate, file and negotiate your case on your behalf.
