It may be small, but Guelph is a beautiful city full of well-preserved limestone buildings, museums, galleries, parks, and trails. It has a vibrant and varied culture and a reputation for being one of the best cities in Canada to live in.

But even in a city as tranquil as Guelph, accidents can still happen. Often, when you least expect them to. It is all too easy for you or one of your loved ones to be injured.

When Should You Contact A Personal Injury Lawyer?

If you suffered a minor injury in Guelph, it may still be wise to consult with a personal injury lawyer. You never know if your injury could turn out to be more serious than you first thought. This is particularly the case with whiplash and joint or nerve injuries, which may or may not heal completely.

If your injury is more serious, you need to prioritize seeking medical assistance first. Once it’s safe for you to do so, you can seek out a personal injury lawyer to discuss making a claim.

 However, if you can do so, it can be helpful for you to make a note of what you remember about the accident. Having notes to refer to can help your lawyer to build a strong case and reduces the chances of important evidence being inadvertently lost.

Why Hire A Lawyer For Your Guelph Personal Injury Claim

You may be tempted to try to make a claim yourself. Potentially, you can do this. But it is rarely wise to do so. Often, the claims process gets tricky, especially if it is your first time going through the process.

FAQs on Personal Injury Lawyers Serving Guelph

Should I agree to provide a recorded statement to the insurance company?

It is best not to agree to provide a recorded statement to an insurance company. At least not before you have spoken to a lawyer, who can advise you about whether this is a good idea. If they believe it is, they will guide you about how to handle things so that you can explain what happened without falling into the trap of inadvertently taking the blame.

What do I do if I’m in a car wreck but I’m not a citizen of Canada?

If you are involved in a car wreck while visiting Canada, follow the country’s rules about dealing with vehicle accidents. Familiarize yourself with those rules before driving.  It is also a good idea to speak to a local lawyer after the accident. Just make sure that you do so quicky. That way you can still comply with the requirement to notify the hire car company and your travel insurance provider.

What does a waiver of liability mean?

A waiver of liability is when someone signs a document that states that should something go wrong the other person or business will not be held responsible and pursued for damages. They are often used by firms that provide people with the chance to experience potentially dangerous activities such as skiing or white-water rafting. If you have signed one and have an accident you will need the assistance of a lawyer to stand any chance of securing compensation. Even then, it can be difficult to sue successfully under those circumstances.
