Bridgewater Personal Injury Lawyer


Bridgewater residents who have sustained serious injuries in unexpected, traumatic accidents may not know where to turn for accountability and financial compensation. When the negligence or wrongful conduct of another party leads to injury-causing accidents, it can be difficult for injured community members to know which steps to take in order to receive the maximum repayment amount to which they are entitled.

With the assistance of injury lawyers serving Bridgewater, injured accident survivors may be able to file a claim for damages against the person or entity responsible for causing their injuries.

In Bridgewater, motor vehicle collisions and slip and fall accidents on other people’s commercial or residential properties are among the leading causes of injuries requiring hospitalization. However, our injury lawyers serving Bridgewater have a history of representing local clients who were injured in a range of accidents, including:

  • Car accidents
  • Boating accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Snowmobile accidents
  • ATV accidents
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Scooter accidents
  • E-bike accidents
  • And more

Traumatic accidents in Bridgewater often cause unsuspecting victims to sustain a number of injuries, varying in severity from moderate to catastrophic. These injuries often include:

  • Broken or fractured bones
  • Cuts and lacerations
  • Strains and sprains
  • Musculoskeletal injuries
  • Facial and dental injuries
  • Internal organ damage
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Paralysis
  • Concussions
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Amputations
  • And more

When accidents resulting in serious injuries are caused by another party’s negligence, injured accident victims may be able to file a civil claim against the at-fault party. In order to prove that negligent behaviour was a leading cause of your injuries, our Bridgewater injury lawyers may be able to help you compile and present evidence proving that the at-fault party owed you a duty of care, and that they failed to fulfill that duty.

This does not mean that you and the person responsible for causing your accident need to have a pre-existing relationship. Many people throughout the province owe a duty of care to perfect strangers, perhaps without even knowing it.

For example, anyone operating a motor vehicle on the province’s roads has a legal obligation to drive with a reasonable amount of caution. This is because all drivers have a provincially mandated duty of care to other road users. If a driver fails to fulfill this duty by disregarding traffic laws, they may be considered negligent. Common examples of traffic law violations that may constitute driver negligence include:

  • Texting while driving
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs
  • Speeding excessively
  • Driving recklessly
  • Distracted driving
  • Ignoring traffic signals/signs
  • And more

If a collision caused by this negligent behaviour causes an accident victim to sustain compensable injuries, the driver who engaged in wrongful conduct may be held responsible for resulting damages.

Motor vehicle operators are not the only people in Bridgewater whose failure to uphold a duty of care could result in an injurious accident. Indeed, anyone who owns, manages, or oversees residential or commercial properties have a legal obligation to provide a reasonably safe experience for all visitors to the premises, including tenants, employees, customers, and guests. If the person or people responsible for identifying and removing potential hazards on the property that may cause harm to one of their visitors fails to address these dangerous maintenance issues, they have failed to fulfill their duty of care. As a result, they may be considered negligent and, therefore, liable for injuries arising from accidents caused by their failure to keep the premises safe.

Unaddressed maintenance issues may sound harmless, but in actuality, they can cause unsuspecting people to sustain severe injuries in traumatic accidents. Some examples of hazardous maintenance issues that often lead to serious, injury-causing accidents on someone else’s property include:

  • Uncleared ice and snow
  • Spilled liquids
  • Broken or missing handrails
  • Poor lighting
  • Wet floors
  • Uneven surfaces
  • Loose carpeting
  • Cracked sidewalks
  • Potholes
  • Cluttered walkways
  • Broken tiles
  • And more

As members of a society, we all have responsibilities to our neighbours. When people fail to consider how their behaviours could impact the people around them, lives can be lost and serious injuries can be sustained. Seriously injured accident victims could spend years recovering from the physical trauma they have sustained; others may feel the impact of their injuries for the rest of their lives.

Our Bridgewater injury lawyers believe that no one should be forced to endure physical pain, psychological distress, and financial instability because of another person’s negligence. If you sustained compensable injuries in an accident caused by someone else’s wrongful conduct, our injury lawyers serving Bridgewater may be able to pursue damages you have incurred as a result of being injured. These damages may include:

  • 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
  • And possibly more
