If you have been involved in a car accident, the first step would be to start an Accident Benefit Claim. Accident Benefits are available to compensate for lost wages, medical treatment, rehabilitation services and attendant care (PSW services). They may also cover additional expenses such as childcare, housekeeping, and home maintenance.

REGARDLESS OF WHO IS AT FAULT, YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO ACCIDENT BENEFITS – Even if you’re in a single vehicle accident.

At Da Silva Legal, we work on a “contingency” basis, which means we only charge fees if we are successful at recovering compensation for you. If we are successful, our legal fees range from 25% – 33.3% depending on the circumstances of your matter. This is all agreed upon at the beginning of our working relationship so there are no surprises at the end! We believe in full transparency!

Yes, there generally are time restrictions involved in filing an auto accident claim. For instance, the statute of limitations is the law that sets a limit on the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit for damages after an auto accident. It varies from area to area, but it’s usually between one and three years from the date of the incident. Additionally, if your case involves a government agency, you may only have a few months to file a claim.

Depending on the circumstances of your car accident, it will take between 1-3 years to successfully build your case and obtain a favourable result.
