Sarnia Personal Injury Lawyer
Accidents can happen to anyone. Even if you are a person who prides yourself on being cautious, attentive, and aware of your surroundings, you could still find yourself in a potentially dangerous situation. No one can control to conduct or behaviour of another person. However, when certain people behave irresponsibly or unlawfully, even the most safety-conscious bystander could be at risk of sustaining serious injuries in an accident.
Depending on the circumstances of the accident, including the accident victim’s age and the condition of the environment in which the accident took place, the outcomes of traumatic incidents brought on by a person’s negligence can be dire. In Sarnia, many injuries requiring hospitalization are caused by accidents resulting from another party’s negligence. Accident victims in Sarnia could suffer a range of injuries, including:
- Head injuries
- Concussions
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Whiplash
- Soft-tissue injuries
- Nerve injuries
- Strained or torn muscles and/or tendons
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Sensory loss
- And more
Being injured in unexpected, violent, and preventable circumstances can have long-lasting effects on an accident victim’s physical and mental health. As a matter of fact, many injured accident victims in Sarnia develop additional, potentially disabling mental health conditions as a direct result of the physical injuries they sustained in an accident. Because of the drawn out, disheartening, and isolating journey to recovery many injured accident victims are forced to undergo, very often they encounter difficulties with newly acquired psychological issues, including:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Sleep disorders
- And more
For Sarnia accident victims, many of their post-injury worries and anxieties are related to their financial stability. Recovering from physical injuries or adjusting to a life encumbered by new physical disabilities can be, among other things, very expensive.
Should the people who have been hurt in an accident be overburdened with responsibility of paying for newly acquired costs resulting from their injuries? At Cohen Highley LLP, our Sarnia personal injury lawyers are committed to helping injured members of the local community in their pursuits of accountability and fair compensation. Our Sarnia personal injury lawyers strive to provide effective and innovative legal solutions to the problems experienced by the clients we represent.

In addition to helping the injured victims of accidents directly resulting from the negligence of other individuals such as motor vehicle operators and property owners, our Sarnia personal injury lawyers have experience handling a wide range of injury claims. We have experience providing legal assistance to people injured by:
- Workplace accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Accidents caused by defective products
- Violent crimes, including assaults, batteries, and other forms of abuse
- And more
If you sustained physical or psychological harm in a traumatic event caused by another person and incurred damages as a result, the Sarnia personal injury lawyers at Cohen Highley LLP may be able to help you pursue a civil claim. Additionally, if your close relative was wrongfully killed in an accident caused by another party’s negligence, our Sarnia personal injury lawyers may be able to help you recover compensation for your loss.
In addition to helping local clients pursue legal action against the negligent party that caused them physical or psychological harm, our Sarnia personal injury lawyers have years of experience helping injured clients navigate the complicated and daunting process of recovering fair insurance benefits. In Sarnia, many claims for benefits are denied by insurance providers each year. Cohen Highley LLP is committed to helping the clients we represent get the maximum amount of benefits payments to which they should be entitled.
If your injuries were the result of a motor vehicle collision, even if your own mistakes or wrongful actions caused the accident to occur, you should be entitled to no-fault accident benefits from your insurance provider. This form of insurance coverage is designed to help injured car crash survivors afford the costs of necessary, injury-related expenses. If you were hurt in a car accident, our Sarnia personal injury lawyers may be able to provide you with crucial legal assistance, negotiating fair and final settlements with your insurance provider and ensuring that you receive the payments you deserve in a timely fashion.
Similarly, if the injuries you sustained make it impossible for you to return to work, or if a physical or mental illness prevents you from carrying out the duties of your job, you might have access to long-term disability benefits, based on the terms of your insurance policy and the coverage available to you. If your claim for long-term disability benefits was turned down and the payments to which you should be entitled were withheld, our Sarnia personal injury lawyers may be able to take legal action on your behalf. By doing so, the personal injury team of Cohen Highley LLP may be able to help you recover the compensation you deserve.
