Wrongful Death
While all personal injury cases are likely to be traumatic for victims and loved ones, there are few cases that leave as much grief and heartache in their wake as those that result in a wrongful death. Family members and friends of the deceased are likely to struggle deeply with the sudden loss of a loved one, and that emotional trauma is only compounded if the death also leads to a loss of income formerly provided by the loved one. People should not have to cope alone with the wrongful death of someone they loved, and holding the negligent party accountable can at least help relieve the financial burden of the loss. Due to the seriousness of a wrongful death claim, it is necessary to seek the guidance of a qualified personal injury lawyer from Diamond & Diamond when pursuing such a claim.

Important Things to Know About Wrongful Death
What Leads To A Wrongful Death?CompensationLiability And Claims
In most cases, wrongful death claims stem from a motor vehicle accident in which the other driver was behaving recklessly or negligently, such as by disobeying traffic rules, fleeing the scene of the incident, or driving while under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. In some cases, another third-party may be held liable, such as a property owner or municipality that failed to make the scene of the accident safe for drivers or pedestrians. Wrongful death incidents are not exclusive to car crashes, however, and other types of accidents, like those involving product defects, slip and fall accidents, or medical malpractice can also lead to death.
Work-Related Injuries
Work-related injuries and deaths are all too common in Ontario, with thousands of employees suffering some form of work-related injury in the province every year. While certain professions, such as construction and manufacturing involving heavy machinery, are more prone to injuries than others, even people who typically work in offices or at a desk can suffer an unforeseen injury while on the job. Workers’ compensation laws in Ontario are notoriously complex and there are often strict statutes of limitations that injured employees must abide by in order to receive their fair share of compensation. Having a personal injury lawyer from Diamond & Diamond at hand who understands workers' compensation will help you ease through the process.

Important Things to Know in the Event of a Work-Related Accident
Types Of Work-Related InjuriesAppealsMaking A Claim
When a work-related injury occurs, it is important to take a number of steps to ensure that a future WSIB claim is not rejected. The most important thing to do is seek immediate medical attention and to report the injury as a WSIB-type injury. The employer should be notified of the injury and it is generally a good idea to cooperate with the employer throughout the process. Injured employees should also gather the contact information of any witnesses and should keep detailed records of symptoms, medications, appointment, tests, and conversations with the employer. A Form 6 will need to be filed soon after the injury occurs and missing the deadline for filing this form could have serious repercussions on being approved for a claim. Since many injuries will make it difficult to complete the required paperwork on time, having a personal injury lawyer provide representation during the process is imperative.
