Brantford Personal Injury Lawyer

The City of Brantford was incorporated on the banks of the Grand River in 1877. The area had long been settled by the Attawandaron Iroquois First Nations People. Brantford, named after Captain Joseph Brant, is proud of its rich native and cultural heritage with many historical sites and museums open to the public. It is known as the Telephone City referring to Graham Bell who made the first telephone call ever from Brantford to Paris, Ontario. The Six Nations Indian Reservation lies along the south side of the city.

Brantford was at one time a major railway and manufacturing hub in Ontario, well known for Massey-Ferguson, White Tractor Company, S.C Johnson Wax, Massy-Harris, and Westcast, who were all headquartered here. The demise of manufacturing in Canada hit Brantford hard economically in the 1980s. The City has tried to promote itself as a tourist destination being on the Grand River, a Canadian Heritage River, and along the Cambridge to Hamilton rail trail. It has also seen a resurgence of manufacturing with Procter & Gamble, and Ferrero SpA locating there in 2004.

Today Brantford is a modern city with a population of 90,000 and boasts the fully renovated Brantford General Hospital. Brantford straddles the Grand River, highway 403, highway 24, and the main CN rail line, making it ideally placed for manufacturing and distribution. Wilfrid Laurier University, Nipissing University, Mohawk College, and Conestoga College have campuses in Brantford, providing the city with a large supply of well-educated graduates.

What injuries are covered under personal injury law?

1. The severity of the injuries. It the injuries are very minor in nature then the personal injury damages would be insignificant. In such cases, suing for damages is generally not warranted.
2. Third-party negligence. If you fall off a ladder in your own home, and injure yourself, there is generally no third-party negligence involved (unless there are extenuating circumstances such as a faulty ladder or the collapse of a supporting structure constructed by a third-party.)

What does a personal injury lawyer do?

You often have to sue to get the person or group who hurt you to accept responsibility for your injuries. Personal injury lawyers represent your interests to help ensure you get the full compensation you deserve. Personal Injury Lawyers are also experts at assessing the "true" cost of your injuries. For example, if you are no longer able to work at the same type of job after your injury, this will affect your income for the rest of your life. Determing the present value of this lost income can be very complicated because there are many factors involved. Personal injury lawyers make sure that you don't overlook past or future expenses or losses when calculating an appropriate settlement.

What are some typical types of accidents?

Injuries suffered from car accidents are the most common type of personal injury case due to the frequency of car accidents and the severity of injuries. It is important to note that even if you are partially to blame for the accident you are still entitled to compensation if there is partial negligence on the part others.

Slip and Fall and Trip and Fall injuries are also fairly common as are other vehicular accidents such as motorcycle, boating and snowmobile accidents. Almost any type of accident could lead to a legitimate personal injury claim.
