LIABILITY DISPUTES - DISPUTES WITH THE AT-FAULT PARTY’S ADJUSTER

If you have been injured in an accident, you will most likely be contacted and questioned by an adjuster representing the at-fault party’s insurance company. It is very unwise to discuss your injuries, how the accident happened, work status or other losses with this person before consulting an accident injury lawyer. Remember, the job of the professional insurance adjuster/lawyer representing the at-fault party is to get you to sign off your rights for the least amount of money possible.

Never sign a final release until after a physician has confirmed, in writing, the nature and consequences of your injuries and your legal counsel recommends the settlement. If you settle too early, you will rarely receive all the compensation you are legally entitled to, and you will often suffer physical problems from the accident later in life.

Remember that you must sue the at-fault party within a specified time, called a limitation period. Failure to do so will effectively bar your accident injury claim from proceeding. Schedule a consultation with a Braithwaite Boyle accident injury lawyer to help you determine the correct limitation period and the true value of your claim.

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS INVOLVING GOVERNMENT LIABILITY

​Recent decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada have broadened the scope of liability of Government Authorities and Officials. The law now holds that Government Authorities and Officials may be responsible for damage caused if they do not give proper consideration to the circumstances before implementing a policy, or if their employees act negligently in carrying out operations under that policy. For example, if a city established a policy of inspecting fire hydrants on a regular basis, that policy cannot be changed if it is reasonably made. However, if the city officials fail to inspect fire hydrants according to the policy, and that failure to inspect results in injury, damage or loss, the city may be responsible.
