A motor vehicle accident can be a traumatic, life-altering experience, leading to major loss of income, long-term disability and even death.
Accidents involving cars, motorcycles, trucks, all-terrain vehicles, public transportation and even boats can result in serious injury.
Motor vehicle laws are complex and changing. To navigate the province’s no-fault insurance regulations and tort claims requires lawyers with deep experience in personal injury law.
At Edson Legal, we have taken thousands of motor vehicle injury cases and recovered millions of dollars for our clients. Insurance companies are well aware of our reputation for vigorously defending client interests in court and out of court, and conduct themselves accordingly.
