Ask us a QuestionsEvery personal injury case is different and determined by its own unique facts. Will you have to go to court? That all depends on the circumstances and the willingness of both sides to reach an amicable settlement.
An experienced lawyer knows that while taking a case to trial is always a possibility, it is the last option when all else has failed. Court is expensive and time consuming. Negotiating a settlement is obviously preferable because it gets you the compensation you require much quicker than going through a trial.
Still, there are times when liability is in dispute. The person responsible for your injury could refuse to admit their fault. Often there can be a problem coming to an agreement on the amount of compensation you may be entitled to so a trial may be necessary.
We believe in preparing for any contingency. We never leave anything to chance. We will gather evidence and build a solid case to support your claim for a negotiated settlement while keeping an eye on the possibility that we may have to go to trial. We will stand by you and provide a wealth of expertise. However, we will always be guided by your wishes.
Many personal injury cases settle before they get to trial but there are no guarantees. For some of our clients, the thought of entering a courtroom can be intimidating. There is no question, the uncertainty of going to trial can be stressful. There are rules and procedures you may not understand. You may be apprehensive about taking the witness stand and reliving the accident that led to your injury. However, please be assured that you are in good hands. We have more than 30 years of experience fighting for our clients, in and out of court. We will be there with you every step of the way.
We are skilled litigators who effectively handle courtroom situations. We will guide you through the process, tell you what to expect, prepare you to testify and alleviate your fears. Don’t view a trial as something to fear. Look at it as an opportunity to get the justice you deserve and the compensation you need to put your life back on track.
Litigating a personal injury claim can be complex so it is in your best interest to hire an experienced lawyer to represent you. One of the first questions a person will ask when they decide to seek legal help is what will it cost? At Yegendorf Rashid, your initial consultation is free. During the initial consultation, we will evaluate your case and explain your options to you.
Like most personal injury lawyers in Ottawa, we work on a contingency fee agreement basis. This simply means we do not get paid unless you do. Contingency fees are typically charged as a percentage of a client’s recovery. We will explain the percentage we will charge and the amount we will require for disbursements before you agree to retain us.
