ACCIDENT TYPES

Motor Vehicle AccidentsInjured in an Ontario car accident, truck accident, pedestrian accident, bicycle accident or motorcycle accident?  We can help you with a law suit against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering and with your claim for statutory accident benefits (no fault benefits).

Bodily InjuryIf you have slipped, tripped, fallen or been bitten by a dog in Ontario, we can help you obtain damages for your injuries. 

Medical MistakesA mishap in the hospital, a failure to diagnose, a delayed diagnosis, phamacy mistake, nursing errors, surgical errors or other negligent medical care can result in a claim for compensation.

Dangerous ProductProducts that injure their users can give rise to liability and damages.  Drugs with bad side effects, negligently designed products or packaging, protective gear that does not work-- these are just some examples of product liability claims Auger Hollingsworth will prosecute.

Gas, Chemical, Electrical and other Burn InjuryWhen chemicals spill or gas tanks explode there may be claims for compensation against large corporations or the government entities that are supposed to regulate these industries. 

CrimeVictims of sexual assault (rape, molestation) as a child or adult may have a claim for compensation.  Victims of other forms of violence or criminal negligence may also have claims.

Dog Bites / Animal AttacksIf you are injured by an animal, you may be entitled to compensation.  Animal scratches, animal attacks, animal bites may all be compensable.

What Our Clients Say About Us: Client Testimonials / Client Reviews

July 2010 testimonial: 

"What a pleasure it was to receive the final settlement cheque.Thank you very much for all the hard work by you and your team. It is much appreciated. And may I assure you that [my wife] and I do not hesitate to recommend Auger Hollingsworth on any appropriate occasion. As much as we both hope that we will not again be needing your services, it is reassuring to know that should the fickle finger of fate throw us another bad curve, we know exactly who to turn to for assistance for personal injury help (or for help in criminal defence). I cannot image more thorough, meticulous perseverance, or more excellent advice and counsel."

“Dear Brenda:

 

Many thanks for your good work in resolving my recent claim.    I just would not have had the energy or knowledge to have handled it myself.     From the very beginning you impressed me with your pleasant and professional manner so I felt confident in leaving everything in your capable hands.  

 

I'm totally satisfied with the outcome, and once again, my sincere thanks, to you in particular, and to the members of your staff, who were courteous and helpful at all times during the course of resolving my claim.     

           

With kind regards,”    

Lilian Alyea, Ottawa, Ontario

"I received my settlement funds. Thank you! The amount is great!!!!  I will share it with my family and certainly pamper myself with many a thing!   My daughter told me not long ago that when the accident happened, I would have settled for 2000$ from the insurance if they had offered me. I'm so glad they didn't offer me anything. My daughter is the one who found your web site and encouraged me to contact you. I'm so thankful that you represented me. You did a wonderful job.You were always communicating with me and reassuring me. I appreciated every time you did. I can't thank you enough.  I'm glad everything turned out so well,  thanks to you Brenda."

A. G., New Brunswick (accident happened in Nepean)
