Welland Personal Injury Lawyer


The effects of injuries sustained in traumatic accidents can be long-lasting. They can even permanently diminish an accident survivor’s overall quality of life.

When the negligence of certain people or organizations in Welland causes accidents in which others are hurt, the victims of those accidents may feel the impact of their injuries physically, emotionally, and financially. Indeed, many injured accident survivors sustain financial losses related to:

  • Medical expenses
  • Pain and suffering
  • Physiotherapy
  • Mobility aids, assistive medical equipment
  • Prescriptions
  • Home modifications to accommodate newly acquired disabilities
  • Ambulance services
  • Mileage expenses to and from medical appointments
  • Housekeeping services
  • Psychological counselling
  • Lost wages due to missed work
  • Reduced future earning capability
  • And possibly more

Accidents in Welland can happen in any number of locations and circumstances. Depending on many factors, including the victim’s age and medical condition and the manner in which their injuries were sustained, the effects of their injuries could continue to plague them for the rest of their lives.

This is particularly true for the survivors of boating accidents in Welland. If the negligent operator of a recreational boat collides with another vessel, jettisoned passengers could sustain traumatic injuries. Additionally, if they become trapped underwater for a prolonged period of time, those who manage to avoid drowning could easily sustain anoxic brain injuries.

Anoxic brain injuries can have permanent implications for boating accident survivors. The adverse effects of these injuries can be physical, cognitive, and behavioural. As a result of their injury’s symptoms and side-effects, accident victims who have sustained an anoxic brain injury could struggle to keep their jobs, maintain social and romantic relationships, and continue living independently. Symptoms of severe anoxic brain injuries can include:

  • Anomia: linguistic difficulties, including inability to find the right word, confusing similar sounding words, failure to understand common words, etc.
  • Ataxia: lack of coordination
  • Apraxia: inability to perform familiar physical tasks (i.e. brushing teeth, using utensils, etc.)
  • Quadriparesis: weakness of arms and legs
  • Memory loss
  • Difficulty processing visual information
  • Mood swings
  • Difficulty reasoning, making decisions, synthesizing information
  • And more

Other injuries that are frequently sustained in traumatic accidents in and around Welland include:

  • Broken or fractured bones
  • Cuts and lacerations

  • Musculoskeletal injuries
  • Facial and dental injuries
  • Internal organ damage
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries 
  • Paralysis
  • Concussions
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Amputations
  • And more

In Welland, accidents can happen on the water, on the roads and highways, on nature trails, on sidewalks, in parking lots, on commercial and residential properties, and in a wide variety of other locations. Even the safest, most overly prepared resident is vulnerable to the negligence of people who engage in wrongful behaviour.

The Long-Term Effects of Negligence

Being injured in an accident can clearly have profound, prolonged repercussions for the victims of someone else’s negligence. As a direct result of someone else’s wrongful actions, injured accident survivors may find it impossible to return to their workplaces.

The physical injuries sustained by accident survivors often make it impossible for them to perform the duties of their jobs. Additionally, injured accident survivors often develop severe, debilitating mental health issues while struggling to cope with the new realities of life after sustaining disabling injuries.

If the physical and/or psychological effects of the injuries they have sustained prevent an accident survivor from completing the tasks associated with their jobs, they might be able to collect long-term disability (LTD) benefits, provided their insurance plan includes the appropriate level of coverage. LTD benefits can provide eligible recipients with monthly income replacement payments when a chronic illness, physical injury, or severe mental health disorder makes it impossible to continue working.

Unfortunately, insurance providers may find reasons to deny claims for LTD benefits, even if the medical condition acquired by the policyholder should entitle them to receive benefits payments. Furthermore, recipients of LTD benefits may have their payments prematurely terminated for a number of reasons that are often difficult to understand.

If your claim for LTD benefits was unfairly denied by your insurance provider or if the payments you currently receive were terminated without reason, our Welland personal injury lawyers may be able to help you overturn your insurance provider’s decision. Our personal injury lawyers serving Welland and committing to helping the clients we represent recover the compensation they are rightfully owed.
