Yes, a personal injury lawyer can withdraw from your case if:
- The lawyer's continued representation will lead to a breach of the Law Society of Ontario's professional conduct rules
- Your instructions are inconsistent with the lawyer's duty to the court
- You are guilty of dishonourable conduct in the proceedings
- You are pursuing the case solely to injure another
A personal injury lawyer can also withdraw from your case if you seek to deceive your lawyer or if you choose not to heed critical advice.
No, you are not legally required to hire a personal injury lawyer for a claim, though it is advisable that you do. Your lawyer will bring more than just legal knowledge; they will bring invaluable experience preparing a claim in a way that maximizes its chances of success and the compensation you will receive. Lawyers also offer objective advice, allowing you to make well-reasoned decisions regarding your claim, helping resolve disputes faster.
If there is a Contingency Fee Retainer agreement in place, there should not be any up-front costs to you; rather, a lawyer is paid upon successful resolution of the case. There is no fixed fee that personal injury lawyers in Ontario must charge. That said, the Law Society of Ontario offers guidance that a lawyer's fee must be fair and reasonable. A lawyer's fee can vary on a wide range of factors, including:
- Number of years in the profession
- Experience in your area of personal injury
- Track record of success
- Resource the lawyer or personal injury law firm offers
There are several things you should consider when choosing the right personal injury law firm or lawyer for your case:
- Reputation - See if they have been recognized in legal publications, in the news, or by their peers and former clients
- Track record - Ask what kind of successes they've had representing clients
- Client testimonials - Hear what former clients have to say about the lawyers
Many lawyers offer a complimentary initial consultation; use that opportunity to understand what the team's like and whether you are confident in their ability to represent your interests.
Hiring a personal injury lawyer is a serious decision because not only will they represent your legal interests, they will be your guides throughout the claims process. Make sure you take the time to speak to the lawyers you will be working with. Your personal injury lawyer should not only demonstrate extensive legal knowledge, but also care and compassion; this is a difficult time, and you deserve counsel that will treat you with respect and dedication, not just another file.
Insurance companies and healthcare providers have teams of lawyers whose sole purpose is to reduce and defeat claims. It's why you need personal injury lawyers to level out the playing field. Your lawyers will know how to prepare your claim so it has the highest opportunity for success (and maximizes the compensation you are to receive).
A traumatic accident throws the victim and their family into unfamiliar territory. Medical bills are racking up and your personal and professional life is disrupted. During this period of tremendous emotional upheaval, you are expected to make rational decisions.
That's where personal injury lawyers can help. The best lawyers will not only guide you through the claims process, help assert your rights, fight for your right to compensation, and shield you from unfair scrutiny - they'll also connect you with the top medical professionals in the field, ensuring you receive the care and attention you need to recover.
Depending on the nature and seriousness of your injuries, personal injury lawyers will:
- Gather evidence that substantiates your claim
- Investigate the liability and damages issues in your specific situation
- Assist with insurance claims
- Draft, file, and prosecute the civil lawsuit
- Ensure you receive the accident benefits you are entitled to
- Represent you at negotiations, mediation and before the courts
- Ensure you receive compensation in a timely manner once the case has been settled or succeeds before the court
- Navigate and advise you on all of the legal implications of the accident and your injury
- Assist your road to recovery
Your lawyers will guide you throughout the claims process, which is why you need to be confident about the team you'll be working with.
Though everyone has slightly different expectations of their lawyer, here are a few questions you should get answers to:
- Have you represented people who have suffered accidents similar to mine?
- What is the strategy to ensure I receive fair compensation? (Note that compensation obtained in the past is not a guarantee of future success)
- Who exactly will be working on my case?
- How much is your fee? Do you offer contingency fee ("no win, no fee")?
- What is your track record for success?
Yes, if you feel your relationship with your lawyer is deteriorating, you can make a change while your case or claim is ongoing. First, you will have to identify a new lawyer willing to take on your case. After that, your new and former lawyers will come to an agreement about the payment of fees and costs. Finally, the lawyers will transfer evidence related to your case.
It is always best to have clear communication with your lawyer, to avoid any issues that could result in a breakdown of the relationship. Trust and communication are key pillars to a successful client-lawyer relationship, and ones we take seriously.
Our team of personal injury lawyers
I suffered some nasty slip and fall injuries during the fall of 2013, and had seen the name Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers over the internet, so I decided to call there for assistance. That was a decision I am so happy to have made. From the beginning, my lawyer... was respectful, available, attentive, knowledgeable, resourceful, professional, gave great advice, and kept me fully informed throughout the process.
