What are the important things to do at the scene of a car accident? Here are 10 tips to follow.

Injury lawyer David Brannen explains how to apply for disability insurance benefits.

The human brain is incredibly complex and surprisingly fragile. A violent impact can cause an injury that has devastating consequences in your life, but because a brain injury is invisible its effects aren’t always immediately obvious.

Brain injuries are a leading cause of disability and death for people under 45, and car accidents are one of the biggest causes of brain injuries. After a serious accident you may be easily irritable, have a hard time finding words when you speak, have a loss of coordination or be unable to concentrate – these are all symptoms of a brain injury and they can seriously affect your ability to work and impact your daily activities.

If you have suffered a brain injury that has had serious and negative consequences in your life, you are entitled to insurance compensation. The Cantini Law Group works with independent medical and financial experts to help determine the impact of your brain injury – what medical care you will need, how long you will need it, and how the injury will affect your ability to work and lead your normal life. With that information, we can help you obtain the insurance settlement you deserve.

If you need to make an insurance claim for your brain injury, contact our personal injury lawyers for a consultation. There are no obligations and it’s completely free. We can help you determine your legal options and decide how to proceed with your claim to get the compensation you need.

Living with a long-term disability is already difficult enough, and having your benefits claim denied or terminated only makes the situation worse. Benefits can be denied – even when your claim is valid – for any number of reasons, including small technicalities or unclear evidence. Long-Term Disability insurance claims can be very complex and each plan is different from the next, so the reasons why your claim was denied or terminated aren’t always obvious.

The team of lawyers at the Cantini Law Group have extensive experience in dealing with Long-Term Disability cases. We have helped people in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island get the benefits they are entitled to. We understand how difficult it is living with a disability – we will treat your case with compassion and respect and help you get the compensation you deserve.

We offer a free consultation where you can discuss your case with a disability lawyer and receive information about your application, your insurance policy and what to do if your benefits were cut off. The consultation is confidential and there’s no obligation.

The goal of insurance compensation is to allow you to regain what you have lost, or if that isn’t possible, to keep the same quality of life. If you have suffered a spinal cord injury – especially if it has caused paraplegia or quadriplegia – your insurance settlement should compensate you for the difficulties you now face and the things you can’t do anymore.

This can include replacing your salary if you can’t work, reimbursing your medical expenses and paying somebody to do household maintenance. You deserve full compensation for your injury, and we can help you get it.

When you’re having a baby you should be able to focus on that happy moment rather than worry about injuries caused to your newborn due to medical malpractice. If your newborn has been injured due to negligence you may be entitled to compensation for complications due to the injuries, such as medical costs, future treatments, and pain and suffering.

Birth injuries may include:

• Cerebral palsy
• Facial paralysis
• Spinal cord injury
• Brain injury
• Injuries due to asphyxia

Insurance compensation can help offset the difficulties you and your baby may experience after a birth injury. You can get a free consultation with an injury lawyer from the Cantini Law Group to discuss your situation and discover your legal options.

Before a product is sold it generally undergoes testing to ensure that it’s safe, but sometimes corners are cut and a defective product hits the market. If this causes a severe injury, you can make a claim against the manufacturer to obtain compensation.

If, for example, you suffer severe burns or lose the use of a hand, you deserve to be compensated for the difficulties this has caused you. It’s normal to expect that something you buy at the store will work as intended and not hurt you. If you’ve been badly injured by a defective product contact us for a free consultation to learn more about your legal options.

Car accidents can cause life-changing injuries and if that has happened to you, you deserve full compensation. The Cantini Law Group’s team of experienced injury lawyers can help you get the settlement you need after you’ve been injured in an accident caused by another driver.

You are entitled to compensation for things like medical expenses, loss of income if you’re unable to work and more. A full insurance settlement can help offset the difficulties you face after your accident, and we can help you get the compensation you need.

A motorcycle rider is very vulnerable, and an accident is much more likely to result in an injury. There are no airbags or crumple zones to absorb the impact. Thankfully a motorcycle is a small target that can easily out-brake and out-accelerate most other vehicles, and it’s agile enough to avoid many accidents that a car couldn’t.

Accidents still happen though, especially when other motorists don’t see you. Even with protective gear a motorcycle crash can result in serious injuries, from road rash to amputation. A serious injury can do more than ruin your riding season – you may be unable to return to work or perform your normal tasks around the house, temporarily or for the rest of your life.

If that has happened to you, you deserve compensation from the insurance company. You are entitled to claim medical expenses, loss of income if you can’t work, household expenses like snow removal, and more. The Personal Injury Lawyers at the Cantini Law Group have helped people who have been injured in motorcycle accidents secure the settlement they deserved. Contact us for a free consultation - we can help you too.

Severe burns (second, third and fourth degree) are very serious injuries and deserve full compensation. Our article at InjuryInfo.ca explains the degrees of burns and more.
