Toronto Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

Clients are at the centre of everything we do

Many people love to ride motorcycles on Toronto roads, especially in warmer weather. There are a lot of drivers who either don’t pay close attention to motorcycles on the road or think of them as a nuisance. Too often, the result is an accident that leaves motorcyclists seriously injured.

At Smitiuch Injury Law, our experienced Toronto motorcycle accident lawyers understand the impact an injury can have on motorcyclists and their families. It can affect them physically, emotionally and financially. If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle crash, we are committed to helping you get the best possible outcome.

What makes motorcyclists so vulnerable on Toronto roads?

Motorcyclists have very little protection in a crash – just a helmet and the clothes they are wearing. So when they are struck by a vehicle, they can suffer serious injuries. These include injuries to head, neck or back, broken bones and road rash. Some injuries can be life-threatening or result in permanent disability.

Medical expenses often add up quickly, and treatment may go on for months or longer. However, you shouldn’t have to pay out of your own pocket because of someone else’s negligent behaviour. The Toronto motorcycle accident lawyers at Smitiuch Injury Law can ensure that you’re fully compensated for your medical costs until you reach maximum medical improvement.

How can a Toronto motorcycle accident lawyer help me?

Our Toronto lawyers can help you apply for accident benefits through your insurance company. These may include benefits for medical and rehabilitation expenses, attendant care and replacement benefits. We will fight back against any attempt by the insurance company to reduce the amount of benefits you receive.

We will also help you take legal action to recover financial compensation for your injuries. This can be a complicated process. A negligent driver in Toronto may have been distracted, speeding or was driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Negligent drivers often deny doing anything wrong. They may even blame you for causing the motorcycle accident.

How much is my Toronto motorcycle accident claim worth?

The amount of money you’re entitled to after a motorcycle accident depends on the extent of your injuries and the damages you’ve accrued as a result of the crash. Insurance companies will try to limit your compensation. They tend to think of motorcyclists as irresponsible people who take risks on the road. We know that is not true. There are other tactics insurance companies will use. For example, they may argue your injuries aren’t that serious or were pre-existing.

Our Toronto law firm takes your motorcycle accident seriously. We have our legal team investigate to get the facts. We gather evidence and carefully review police reports, medical records and other documentation. We identify and interview witnesses. If needed, we consult accident reconstruction experts and other specialists.

Before accepting a lowball settlement offer from insurance companies, let us determine the true value of your claim. We’ll factor in all current and future medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other damages related to your motorcycle accident.

Our Toronto law firm has a proven track record of success, including $2.2 million awarded to a motorcyclist who was severely injured after being struck by a vehicle that ran a stop sign.

We help the injured in Toronto recover financial compensation

Since the founding of Smitiuch Injury Law in Toronto in 2001, we have developed a reputation among insurance companies. They have seen that our lawyers are always prepared with strong cases that they have to take seriously. They know firsthand that we are not afraid to take them to trial. That’s why they often agree to negotiate a settlement rather than face us in court.

We offer you personal attention from an experienced Toronto lawyer with the resources of a much larger firm. You don’t have to be concerned about whether you can afford our services. We work on a contingency fee basis. That means we pay the costs to move your case forward. You only pay us if we recover compensation. It’s our “no win, no fee” promise.
