Personal Injury Law If you have been injured, it is difficult to know where to turn. It can be an overwhelming experience that affects every part of a person's life - physically, financially, and emotionally. Our experienced personal injury lawyer and senior law clerk can provide you with specialized legal advice and professional assistance at every stage of what can often be a daunting process. We have experience in working with the legislation that applies to your particular situation, and we will take the time to explain how it applies to you. For personal injury clients, Carters Professional Corporation offers a free initial consultation with an experienced personal injury lawyer. We may not require an initial retainer fee if we accept your case on a "contingency fee" basis. This means that if we are unable to obtain compensation for you, you will pay nothing in legal fees. However, if we are successful in obtaining compensation for you, we will receive a percentage of the settlement. This arrangement will be fully discussed with you before you sign the retainer agreement. It is important that you speak with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after being injured. In Ontario, there are very specific time periods within which you must bring your claim. The timeframe can be as little as a few days to two years. You should contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible so that your rights do not expire.
