Hoffman Law has the experience and expertise necessary to lead you and your family through the complexities of a personal injury claim with care and understanding, and ensure you receive maximum compensation for your injuries.

Bicycling Accidents

With increased awareness to environmental and health issues, bicycling activity is on the rise in Ontario. Unfortunately, there has also been an increase in car and bike collisions. It is typically the cyclist that suffers serious injuries, and sometimes even death.

If you have been injured as a cyclist due to someone else’s fault, or even partial fault, you have the right to sue the driver that caused or contributed to the accident. In Ontario, you are also entitled to accident benefits if a car or other motor vehicle was involved in the accident.

At Hoffman Law, we have the experience and expertise necessary to lead you and your family through the complexities of a bicyclist personal injury claim with care and understanding, and ensure you receive maximum compensation for your injuries.

Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries, with or without paralysis, are serious and often permanent injuries that can occur along the spine, anywhere from the neck to the pelvis, from physical trauma. An injury could be complete, resulting in total loss of sensation and muscle function, or incomplete, with some nerve signals continuing past the injury site and allowing victims to retain some feeling and voluntary movement in certain parts of the body. 

Spinal cord injuries can have a devastating impact on the lives of victims and their families. We work with a team of medical professionals to ensure our clients receive the fullest compensation for all foreseeable costs associated with their immediate and long-term medical and rehabilitation needs, including assistive devices and help with self-care. We work tirelessly to build the strongest case possible for our clients, and ensure our clients are thoroughly compensated for their pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, lost income and lost earning capacity.

Brain and Head Injuries

Brain injury is often called the “invisible injury”, since its victim can often appear normal on the outside. But the impact of a brain or head injury can be devastating to the injured person. Head injuries, including concussions, can result from impact that causes the brain to shake within the skull during a motor vehicle accident, fall, or any other type of trauma. Direct head contact is not always necessary to produce a concussion, especially in high-impact road collisions. 

Concussions can result in major emotional, behavioural and cognitive changes, and also have more subtle but still consequential long-term effects. Jennifer Hoffman holds a Master of Science degree in Neuroscience, allowing her a specialized understanding of the physiological and neurological impact of brain injuries on an individual.

Early diagnosis and medical and rehabilitation treatment are critical to maximize recovery from these injuries. Hoffman Law works with a team of medical professionals to help ensure victims receive immediate, appropriate medical intervention. We also retain the best experts on each claim in order to educate insurance companies about this “invisible injury” and its impact on our clients’ lives.

Chronic Pain

Soft-tissue damage occurs with nearly every accident, and often resolves within a few weeks or months. However, a small percentage of soft-tissue injuries develop into persistent, severe pain that can last for years after an accident. Chronic pain can be challenging to tackle in a lawsuit, because there are fewer objective measures to diagnose it. Nonetheless, people suffering from chronic pain often face challenges and limitations in every aspect of their lives as a direct consequence of that pain, which may never have arisen but for an original injury sustained in a legally actionable accident. 

Hoffman Law understands the daily struggles and frustrations of people suffering from chronic pain. It can involve debilitating physical suffering as well as psychological and cognitive consequences. It can arise from even seemingly minor trauma, but leave a devastating, permanent, effect on people’s lives.

At Hoffman Law we ensure that insurance companies do not dismiss your chronic pain. We pursue maximum recovery for pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and income loss for our clients, also ensuring they receive appropriate medical and rehabilitation treatment to improve as much as possible and manage any ongoing pain and restrictions.

Amputations

Amputations are serious and complex events to suffer and to litigate. They follow devastating injuries and have impacts on every aspect of a victim’s life.  We engage a team of medical professionals to ensure our clients receive maximum compensation for the costs associated with immediate and long-term medical and rehabilitation needs, including prosthetic devices, assistive devices, and help with self-care.

We work tirelessly to build the strongest case possible for our clients, and ensure our clients are thoroughly compensated for their pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and their lost income and earning capacity.

Neck and Shoulder Injuries

Neck and shoulder injuries are often caused by whiplash. Even seemingly minor whiplash can result in serious injury that may develop into chronic pain over time. Hoffman Law understands the daily struggles and frustrations of people suffering from neck and shoulder injuries, and the myriad associated symptoms, such as headaches, referred pain and tension, sleep difficulties and emotional and cognitive complications.

At Hoffman Law, we pursue maximum recovery for pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and income loss for our clients, and ensure they receive appropriate medical and rehabilitation treatment to improve as much as possible and to manage any ongoing pain and restrictions.
