Providing Your Claim
To win financial compensation after sustaining an injury in an accident, you will have to satisfy the burden of proof in your personal injury claim. Essentially, this means that you and your lawyer will have to gather and present sufficient evidence to prove that you were injured as a direct result of another party’s negligence. Some of the most useful forms of evidence include the following:
- A copy of the police report filed at the scene of the accident
- Witness statements corroborating your claim
- If you were injured in a slip and fall accident, pictures of the unsafe property conditions that caused your accident
- If you were injured in an auto accident, pictures of any damage to your vehicle, the other motorist’s vehicle, or any property involved in the accident
- Medical documents/bills regarding your injury
- Surveillance footage of your accident occurring

Recovering Compensation With The Help of an Ontario Personal Injury Lawyer
As long as we can prove that your accident was the direct result of another party’s negligence, we should recover compensation for two types of damages: economic damages and non-pecuniary damages. Economic damages will cover the cost of the following:
- Surgeries
- Multiple overnights in a hospital
- Lost wages
- In-home care
- Rehabilitation
- Additional out-of-pocket costs you’ve incurred as a result of your accident
Non-Pecuniary Damages

- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of companionship
- Emotional distress
