Ottawa Winters, Personal Injuries
It is that time of year where slips & falls and motor vehicle accidents are much more likely to happen. Anyone living in our great city knows that Ottawa winters are not for the timid, and some simple common sense principles, if violated, can impact their claims in the event of an incident. If you are walking during a snowstorm, wear appropriate footwear such as boots with a good grip. If you are driving during a snowstorm, practice defensive driving so that you do not cause an accident. If you have a drink, do not get behind the wheel at all. We assure you that the insurance companies will be asking these questions and more. At Plant Quinn Thiele LLP, we will vigorously pursue your claim arising from a slip & fall or a motor vehicle accident. Do not give the insurance companies any excuses to reduce or deny your claim!

Highway 416 Pileup of 70 Vehicles
December 14, 2009, was a foggy, snowy, and slippery day on the 416. The early morning commute had a chain reaction accident resulting in approximately 70 vehicles becoming involved in a signficant collision. Personal injuries to drivers and passengers ranged in severity. The highway was closed for about five hours. Persons involved in this accident will be dealing with injuries and damage claims for the foreseeable future. Key to dealing with these claims is knowledge of the law as it pertains to motor-vehicle accidents in Ontario. Many of the personal injury claims will be resolved by the injured applying for Accident Benefits and receiving those benefits on a no-fault basis from their own insurers. For those more seriously hurt and whose injuries do not readily resolve the claim process will be more complicated and will normally require the assistance of a lawyer. At Plant Quinn Thiele LLP we have the experience and knowledge to guide the victims of motor-vehicle accidents through the claims process in order to obtain fair and favourable compensation for the losses sustained. Further information respecting the process of applying for insurance benefits and compensation for injuries is contained on our website at Pqtlaw.com.

Is a wrist injury worth much in compensation? - Ask Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer Marc Quinn
Is a wrist injury worth much in compensation? - Ask Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer Marc Quinn
The full extent of injuries to a wrist is often underestimated by persons injured in accidents. Wrist injuries are extremely painful and can lead to long lasting permanent disability. Most everyday activities require the use of your hands and wrists. Physiologically, the wrist is quite complex and has several bones connected to each other with ligaments, the bones are called the scaphoid, the capitate, the hamate, the lunate, the triquetrum, the pisiform, the trapezium and the trapezoid. The wrist is connected to the forearm and often a wrist injury involves injury to the arm as well.
Wrist injuries include sprains (damage to ligaments holding the bones together) and fractures. Usually, a fracture will include one of the bones indicated or the two bones from the forearm being the radius and ulna. Sometimes, in addition to a sprain or fracture, there is also damage to the nerves.
Depending on the severity of the injury, in Ontario, wrist injuries yield general damages for pain and suffering anywhere from $15,000 to $50,000, in addition to all other damages available in a typical personal injury case.
If you have injured your wrist in an accident, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact us at 613-563-1131 - Marc Quinn - Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer for a free consultation. You have the right to seek compensation and you should know your legal rights.

Back Injuries - When Should I settle? Ottawa Injury Lawyer Marc Quinn Offers Information
Back Injuries - When to Settle?
Back injuries can be very serious. Often, what seems to be a minor back injury becomes a traumatic long term injury which can disable someone and render them unable to work for years or even a life time. You should never settle your claim for a back injury (or any other claim for that matter) until you are absolutely certain of: (a) the type of back injury or injuries you have suffered; (b) the full extent of your back injury or injuries; and (c) how long it will take for you to heal; and (d) to what degree and length you will require ongoing medical and rehabilitative care.
Until these answers are available, you can not ascertain / determine the full value of your damages and fair amount of your claim and therefore you should not settle your case with an insurance company or directly with the person at fault for your injuries. Settlements are usually final and will prevent you from ever claiming more compensation for your claim in the future, even if your injuries worsen over time. In most cases, a settlement includes the injured person signing a full and final release of liability releasing the person at fault for your injuries from any future claims.
An experienced back injury lawyer can assist you with determining when you should consider settlement of your personal injury action or claim and can guide you through the settlement process so that you receive adequate and fair compensation.
Call Marc Nicholas Quinn at Ottawa Injury Lawyers - Ottawa Accident Lawyers - Plant Quinn Thiele LLP for a free no obligation consultation in regard to your back injury or any other injury. 613-563-1131 www.pqtlaw.com
