If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident (MVA) there are some things you should know:

Your own insurance company is responsible for lost wages if you cannot work due to an injury.
Be advised - the complex and misleading information given by insurance companies can be overwhelming. Contact a car accident lawyer at Katzman Wylupek LLP before signing any insurance documents.

The Meaning of No-Fault
Much of Canada requires no-fault auto insurance. No-fault auto insurance means that, regardless of who is to blame, any person injured in a motor vehicle accident (driver, passenger, or pedestrian) may receive compensation. The amount of compensation is based on the extent of the injuries sustained and on the amount of missed work. Contact a car accident lawyer at Katzman, Wylupek LLP to discuss your no-fault situation.
Insurance Adjusters ONLY Look Out for Their Own Interests
If another driver was at fault in your auto accident, it is likely that an insurance adjuster from his insurance company will contact you. The job of an insurance adjuster is to look out for his company's best interests. For you, this means that the company will attempt to settle your case for as little money as possible. If you are unable to work, an insurance adjuster may undervalue the lost wages, leaving you and your family without the income necessary to survive.

You may look at the dollar amount being offered and believe it to be enough. You must keep in mind that the insurance adjuster is only concerned about his bottom line and will attempt to give you as small a settlement as he can.

No matter how fair the settlement appears, only a car accident lawyer well versed in personal injury law can ensure that you get the compensation you deserve. Before you sign any insurance form please contact a car accident lawyer experienced in motor vehicle accidents - call Katzman, Wylupek LLP today.
