Slip, Trip & Fall

A slip and fall or trip and fall is the catch-all term for an injury which occurs when someone falls as a result of a dangerous or hazardous condition on someone else’s property. Common causes of slip and fall injuries are weather-related conditions like snow, ice, and flooding; maintenance issues such as loose tiles, uneven terrain, or rotten wood; or other problems of negligence like poor lighting or hidden gaps.

Unlike other types of accidents, there are no deductibles for slip and fall claims, meaning that with an experienced personal injury lawyer, you will receive the maximum compensation available for your case directly. However, there are often particularly arduous timeline requirements for slip and fall incidents; the statute of limitation is two years, but many defendants will require physical or photo evidence that needs to be obtained shortly after the incident. This means that even more than other areas of injury, time is of the essence with slip and fall cases. If you’ve experienced injury in a fall caused by negligence, contact Dye and Russell now.

    Chronic Pain

    Chronic pain and fatigue can severely compromise an individual’s access to a high quality of life. While many visible injuries are treated with sympathy and excellent medical care, the invisible symptoms of chronic pain along with frequent obstacles to conclusive diagnoses unfortunately means that many of its victims suffer in silence. At Dye & Russell, we want to provide each and every person suffering from chronic pain or fatigue to be able to access full and proper medical care, disability compensation if they are unable to work, rehabilitative and counselling services, and anything else they may need to get their lives back to where they should be.

    Because chronic pain is often long-lasting and difficult to diagnose, it is important that you speak with personal injury lawyers to represent you. It can be difficult to attain the compensation you deserve for invisible pain, but Dye & Russell lawyers have  decades of experience necessary to provide you with the resources you need and the compensation you deserve.

      Disability

      As personal injury lawyers, we deeply wish each and every victim of accident and injury could make a total recovery, returning to their usual career, family activities, and hobbies. However, the unfortunate reality of the situation is that permanently disabling injuries happen to Canadians every day. An estimated 3.2 million Canadians report that disability impedes their ability to function in their day to day life.

      Many people live happy and fulfilled lives with permanent disability. However, the privilege of this type of fresh start relies on the injured party’s ability to access the necessary healthcare, rehabilitation, counselling resources, and financial support. When an individual is prevented from re-entering the workforce due to serious injury or illness, they can file for long term disability insurance to improve their quality of life following the injury.

      Permanent disability claims are more complex than some other areas of personal injury law because they deal with longer periods of time, greater life changes, and often, larger sums of money. Dye & Russell is prepared to fully represent you through this difficult journey and ensure that you get the opportunity to live a full life post-trauma.

        Insurance Disputes

        Insurance policies are more often than not complex to the point of absurdity. Sadly, this often allows insurance companies to take advantage of their clients by using their insider knowledge of policy loopholes. This may have caused your perfectly valid insurance claim to have been denied or perpetuated into an unnecessary legal standoff.

        Insurance is a necessary evil for most people. It can protect you and your family in the case of unforeseeable losses and damages to property, vehicles, land, and, most importantly, yourselves. Insurance disputes typically relate to losses such as life, theft, home, fire, water and other damages. Unfortunately, even if you make your insurance payments on time and in full consistently, these companies will look for ways to provide you with minimal coverage to save cost for themselves. In a time of crisis and loss, dealing with this can be overwhelming.

        That’s why Dye & Russell should be your first call if you’re facing difficulty claiming insurance compensations. Our lawyers have insider experience in the insurance industry, meaning that we won’t be pushed around by policymakers or buried in paperwork. We’ll take the stress off your hands and make sure you get what you deserve.

          Boating Injuries

          Ontario is privy to many beautiful waterscapes, from small northern fishing holes to the stunning Great Lakes and the famous Niagara Falls. There’s no question that boating can be a fun and satisfying hobby in this province. However, those who choose to go out on open water are invariably opening themselves up to risk of injury and, in worst-case scenarios, drowning. While it is important for helmsmen and their passengers, sometimes crises are unavoidable. These accidents can result in high repair costs and painful medical and rehabilitative care.

          If you have sustained injuries or damages on a boat in Ontario, you should speak with a personal injury lawyer. You may be eligible to claim repair or replacement costs for your water vehicle, compensation for damages to others’ property, and access to medical care and rehabilitation. Whether you’re a fisherman injured on the job or a casual pleasure craft operator who experienced tragedy on an afternoon out with the family, Dye & Russell has the experience to help in your boating accident personal injury case.

            Motorcycle Injuries

            Motorcycling, while a fun and engaging hobby, is one of the more dangerous forms of popular transportation. Last year alone, 48 Ontarians died due to motorcycle accidents, and dozens more were injured. Safety is paramount when operating a motorcycle; considering the vehicles lack the basic safety features of a car, a small error that might result in a dented fender for a car driver could cause catastrophic injury to a motorcyclist.

            If you have been injured in a motorcycle incident, either as the driver or a second party, it is imperative that you speak with a motorcycle injury lawyer immediately. Even if you are partially at fault for the incident, you may still be able to claim accident benefits and compensation. You may also be able to sue negligent drivers who were complacent in your injury.

            Due to the fact that motorcycles are notorious for being involved in accidents, it is particularly important that you seek representation in order to make your case and claim your earned compensation. Don’t let insurance companies take advantage of you. Call Dye & Russell to represent you through this time.

              Cycling Injuries

              Choosing to cycle has many benefits: it’s healthy for you, it’s great for the environment, and it’s more cost effective than driving or transit. However, the benefits are always a calculated risk against the dangers involved. North America is notoriously behind the curve in terms of accessible cycling lanes, meaning many cycling enthusiasts are forced to integrate in potentially fatal car traffic.

              At-fault parties in cycling accidents can be anyone from a careless bike manufacturer to an automobile driver who doesn’t know cycling hand signals to a government who failed to fill a dangerous pothole. If you have sustained a cycling injury, you should speak with a personal lawyer as soon as you can to ensure you are eligible for full compensation.

              Dye & Russell has the know-how to create a compelling case for you, aiding in your recovery process and giving you access to the healthcare and rehabilitation you need. We’ll get you back on the roads in no time.

                Product Liability

                Defective and dangerous products are absolutely and totally the responsibility of the manufacturer, distributor, designer, or retailer. These products should not make it out of their factories into the homes of citizens whom they can harm. Injury caused by liable products may entitle you to compensation.

                Consumers have reasonable expectations of the level of user friendliness and safety an item should have. When this understanding between provider and consumer is violated, dangerous and defective products can enter the market and cause severe personal injury or death. This is often due to design flaws or failure to comply with due diligence.This applies to everything from unsanitary or dangerous food and medicine to vehicles with shoddy brake systems to overheating electronic devices. Even children’s toys can become dangerous products if they have small pieces an infant could choke on, or contain lead paint.

                If you or your children have sustained injuries due to unsafe products or negligent companies, contact Dye & Russell today. The experience we have with product liability law will ensure we can navigate the complex details of corporate law and earn you the maximum compensation for your suffering.

                  Dog Bites

                  As many as half of all children will be bitten by a dog in their lifetime, and these attacks are most often due to poor training or abuse on behalf of the owner. That’s why in Ontario, the owner of a dog is fully responsible for injury caused by dog bites. Not only is the animal a victim of suffering, but now you have to recover from what can, in some cases, be a severe and even permanent injury.

                  Dog bites can cause long term scarring and, on occasion, complications resulting in death. Treatment can include stitches, medication, and antibiotics. In order to receive your full compensation for your dog related injuries, inquire with one of our lawyers.
