FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What legal grounds support a personal injury claim?
A personal injury claim is commonly built on the concept of negligence. That means we need to prove four main elements:
- Duty of Care: The person at fault had an obligation to act reasonably to prevent harm.
- Breach of Duty: Failed to meet obligation by acting negligently or recklessly.
- Causation: Other person’s actions (or inactions) directly caused your injury.
- Damages: You experienced actual, measurable losses such as bills, lost income, or even the pain and suffering that comes with your injury.
What is the time limit for filing a personal injury claim in Nova Scotia?
You generally have two (2) years from the accident date to file a claim. There are some exceptions, for example, if you’re a minor or have certain disabilities. It’s best to talk to us as soon as possible to guarantee you don’t miss any important deadlines.
Will my case go to trial?
Most personal injury cases are settled through negotiations with insurance companies. If we can’t reach a fair settlement, we’re fully prepared to take your case to court. The litigation strategy is built on a foundation of strong evidence and supported by expert testimony, all designed to ensure the highest possible compensation.
Can I file a claim if the at-fault driver is uninsured?
If the driver is uninsured, you won’t be able to file a claim with their insurance company since they don’t have one. This doesn’t leave you without options. You may still be able to seek compensation through other avenues, such as:
- Using your own insurance policy’s uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
- Filing a claim under Nova Scotia’s Facility Association for uninsured drivers.
- Pursuing legal action directly against the at-fault party if it’s a financially viable option.
