Ligament & Muscle Injury Lawyers In Ontario

A ligament and muscle injury occurs when the tissue in our bodies are stretched to the point that they rip. These injuries happen when there is sudden trauma to the muscles or ligaments because of a car accident, slip and fall or other accident.

Common ligament and muscle injuries include

• Rotator cuff tears
• Back sprains
• Ankle and wrist sprains
• Neck sprains
• Torn meniscus
• Elbow and foot ligament tears

What are the different categories of ligament and muscle injuries?

There are three categories of ligament and muscle injuries

1. Grade 1 – This is the mildest form of ligament and muscle injuries. This type of injuries don’t usually cause instability in the joints and involves minor muscle tears.

2. Grade 2 – Grade 2 injuries are slightly more severe than grade 1. There is damage to the ligament but joint instability.

3. Grade 3 – Grade 3 injuries involve complete ligament tears. Once you have a grade 3 injury, you won’t be able to put any weight on the affected area.

A ligament and muscle injury is a painful injury that requires extensive treatment and rehabilitation. During the period of recovery, you may not be able to perform your duties at the workplace or even carry out routine tasks.

The legal system in Canada understands the difficulties a person encounters after a ligament and muscle injury. This is why it has made a number of compensation options available to people who successfully file a claim

• Coverage for loss of income
• Coverage for medical expenses
• Monetary support for disability (permanent or partial)
• Physical therapy
• Coverage for special equipment

Note that when you combine all these expenses then it can add up to a significantly large amount. So, when you file a claim, the insurance companies will look for an out of court settlement for a small compensation that may not be sufficient to cover your expenses.

Remember while the courts do give you an option to claim compensation, it is your responsibility to prove your injury to the court.

What can you do to claim the best compensation for ligament and muscle injuries?

The first step is to choose the best personal injury lawyer to represent you. The lawyer should have solid experience in dealing with ligament and muscleinjury cases. Your personal injury lawyer will take care of the necessary documentation and testimonials to prove the severity of your injury to the court. In cases like these, a lawyer will be aware of all the laws regarding the benefits extended to a person with a ligament and muscle injury so that the insurance companies don’t trick you into settling for an unfairly small amount.

The need for the best lawyer to argue your cases increases when the cause of the injury is the negligence of a third party. Here the third party will try to get your claim disproved because they would face legal consequences otherwise. With an expert lawyer representing you, the defendant or insurance company lawyers will realize that they can’t use bullying tactics but will have to arrive at a fair settlement.
