At Bergeron Clifford, our team of experienced personal injury lawyers is committed to representing clients who have suffered from accidents and injuries across Ontario. One such example involves a public transportation accident in Ottawa, demonstrating our dedication to securing justice and support for those impacted.
Type of Incident
In this case, our client, a 30 year old asssitant at a local college, was injured in a public transportation accident involving a city bus in Ottawa, Ontario. The bus driver sped through an amber light without slowing down, causing it to collide with the vehicle travelling in front of the bus.
Extent of Injuries
As a result of the accident, our client sustained multiple injuries, including a broken collarbone, whiplash, and a concussion. The severity of these injuries led to an extended period of recovery, during which our client was unable to work or engage in normal daily activities.
Physical and Emotional Effects of the Injury
The physical effects of the injury were significant, with our client requiring surgery, physical therapy, and chiropractic care to fully recover. The emotional toll was equally challenging, as our client faced anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) stemming from the accident. This combination of physical and emotional pain created a significant burden on our client’s well-being.
Impact on the Client’s Life
Our client’s journey to recovery was lengthy and challenging. In addition to the physical rehabilitation required to heal the broken collarbone and address the whiplash, our client also needed psychological counseling to cope with the PTSD and anxiety caused by the accident. This process was both time-consuming and emotionally taxing, forcing our client to adapt to a new reality and navigate the consequences of the accident.
Result of the Trial/Settlement
Our legal team in the Ottawa area worked diligently to build a strong case for our client, gathering evidence, witness testimonies, and expert opinions. As a result, we successfully negotiated a fair settlement on behalf of our client, without having to resort to a lengthy trial. The settlement ensured that our client received the necessary financial support to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and ongoing care.
Client’s Feelings After the Case Was Settled
Following the settlement, our client expressed a sense of relief and gratitude for the outcome. The financial compensation helped alleviate the burden of medical bills and lost income, allowing our client to focus on healing and regaining a sense of normalcy. The support provided by our legal team helped our client feel heard and validated, offering a sense of justice for the ordeal they had endured.
