Hire Brown Law Office to Get You the Compensation You Deserve
If you are hurt as a result of someone’s negligence, with the assistance of a personal injury lawyer at our Whitby firm, you can bring a lawsuit against them to compensate you for your loss.
An individual or entity is Negligent if they fail to exercise the care expected of a reasonably prudent person in similar circumstances. Under Ontario Law an injured party is entitled to compensation if certain elements are met:
- The other party must have had a duty to you, to meet a specified standard of care;
- due to their careless action, the other party breached /violated the duty of care;
- as a result of the other party’s breach/violation, it caused your injury, and that injury was foreseeable; and
- as a result of the injuries you have suffered some compensatory loss.
Compensation can be for non-money losses such as pain and suffering or loss of care guidance and companionship or for calculable money losses such as lost wages, medical expenses, lost ability to earn income or out of pocket expenses that would not have been incurred, but for the injury.
If an injured party is partially at fault for their injuries, the law still allows you to get compensated for the percentage of fault contributed to by the other party. This is called contributory negligence. There would be a reduction in a damage award equal to the individual’s portion of percentage of negligence. Not wearing a seatbelt is an example of contributory negligence that may reduce any award made to you.
An individual’s right to sue is taken away if he/she is 100% responsible for his/her injuries.
Involved in a Car Accident? Get Compensation for You and Your Family
A car accident can leave you and your family with significant physical, emotional and financial loss. An Experienced Lawyer can help you obtain the maximum amount from the appropriate insurance companies. We can help you access benefits to help cover your treatment, income loss, or loss of ability to live independently. We work aggressively to ensure that you are adequately compensated for your loss of enjoyment of life.
Having represented clients for over 15 years, Michelle Brown is an experienced Whitby personal injury lawyer who has the knowledge and expertise to help you recover compensation by applying the standards of negligence and calculating the damages. Ontario Laws mandates all drivers to use care while driving and abide by the rules of the road as set out in the Highway Traffic Act . Drivers have a duty to not endanger the lives of others. If you have been harmed by an individual operating their automobile negligently, causing an accident with resulting injuries, Michelle Brown will act to hold them responsible for your damages. The owner of the motor vehicle may also be responsible if they permitted their vehicle to be operated by a driver that they knew should not have been driving at the time the accident occurred.
There may be cases where more than one party is responsible for your loss. If you are injured by a drunk driver, for example, you may be able to sue both the driver and the bar or restaurant who may have overserved the driver alcohol. Ontario law says that a bar or restaurant is liable for injuries that their customer caused to another, if they serve alcohol to them when they were already visibly intoxicated.

Client Testimonials
I'm so glad that I contacted Brown Law Office as soon as I got into my car accident. They made the process so easy on our family and helped us get a substantial cash settlement. I would recommend Brown Law Firm to anyone injured in a car accident.
After trying to deal with the insurance company myself, I realized that they would never treat me like the valued client I thought I was. In my opinion, you cannot handle a motor vehicle accident file without a lawyer on your side, and I was glad the Brown Law Office handled my file from beginning...
I am so glad to have been helped by a law firm that treated me like family from the day I walked in. They've got a complete no-quit, yet down to earth attitude. I will instantly refer to your firm anyone I know who needs a litigation lawyer.
