Personal Injury Law
Personal Injury Lawyers in Sudbury
Have you or a loved one been injured in an accident? Are you looking for compensation? Paquette & Paquette is home to a team of personal injury lawyers in Sudbury and Val-Caron who provide legal representation to those who have been injured either physically or psychologically as a result of an accident. Personal injury law cases include motor vehicle accidents, wrongful death, workplace injuries, and more.
When you work with Edmond J. Paquette and Darcy Haines, personal injury cases are done on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not pay unless money is recovered on your behalf in a judgment or a settlement. If you are unable to visit us in person, we can offer meetings at your home. We can also arrange meetings after hours or on weekends to fit your schedule. Contact us for professional legal assistance and to discuss your claim.
Our Practice Areas
Our personal injury lawyers can help you with the following claims:
Motor Vehicle Accidents
If you or a loved one were involved in a motor vehicle accident and suffered injuries, you can take legal action against the person who caused the accident. If your injuries prevent you from working or affect your day-to-day life, you could be eligible to file a disability claim as well. Our personal injury lawyers can help you get the compensation you deserve.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents can lead to some of the most severe personal injuries. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, or if a loved one has been injured, you have a lot to worry about. Do not take on the process of seeking compensation for your injuries on your own. You can rely on our personal injury lawyers to help you navigate the legal process.
Snowmobile Accidents
If you have been in an accident involving a snowmobile, the driver of another vehicle or the owner of the property you were riding on may owe you compensation. After a snowmobile accident, you have a lot to deal with. Instead of trying to pursue compensation on your own, our personal injury lawyers can help you get fair compensation for your injuries.
Brain Injuries
Brain injuries can be caused by car accidents, slips and falls, industrial job site problems, and more. Because these injuries can drastically change your life and lead to complications and disabilities, you can seek a legal claim for compensation. Our personal injury lawyers in Sudbury can help you throughout this process and ensure your rights are protected.
Wrongful Death
If one of your loved ones has died due to the negligence or misconduct of someone else, you and your family can sue to get compensation for wrongful death. This is a life-altering experience, and the legal steps can feel overwhelming. Trying to get compensation on your own may not be the ideal course of action. Our personal injury lawyers will prioritize your needs and rights as a survivor.
Dog Bites
Responsible pet owners don’t allow their pets to attack, threaten, chase, or harass other people or animals. Pet owners are responsible for their pet's behaviour and must be held accountable. If you have been bitten or severely scratched by a dog or cat, or if a loved one has been bitten or severely scratched, you can file a complaint with the Greater Sudbury By-law Compliance and Enforcement. You can also document what happened and seek support as you decide on next steps.
Long-term Disability
If you have sustained a personal injury that resulted in a disability, you may be entitled to file for a disability claim with your insurance provider. Long-term disability provides income assistance when a physical or mental disability hinders your quality of life and ability to work. Qualification for disability is based on your financial situation and your disability status. Our personal injury lawyers can review your situation and help you determine if you qualify.
Our Personal Injury Services in Sudbury
A personal injury lawyer does more than file a lawsuit for you. On top of recovering from any injuries you’ve sustained, you have to pay medical bills and your usual rent or mortgage, utilities, and food costs. When injuries prevent you from working, maintaining your lifestyle becomes very difficult and overwhelming. That pressure can add up quickly, especially when income is disrupted.
​
Additionally, your insurance company will likely ask for personal statements, documents, and other forms after an accident. They’ll ask you to settle your claim and won’t give you much time to work through the details. Hiring one of our personal injury lawyers in Sudbury will lessen your load by helping you stay organized and respond with the information required.

What Rights Do I Have under Personal Injury Law?
Under personal injury law, individuals have a right to sue and a right to recover their damages from the other party. You are entitled to all the legal procedures and the corresponding outcomes. Our experienced personal injury lawyers will review the details of your case, assess your options, and help you make an informed choice.

Compensation in personal injury cases is assessed based on various factors, including the severity of the injury, the impact on quality of life, loss of income, medical expenses, and future care needs. Each case is unique, and the specific circumstances will influence the compensation awarded in the end.
What Is a Contingency Fee Arrangement?

The fee is typically a predetermined percentage of the settlement or award, allowing clients to access legal representation without upfront costs and without paying legal fees in advance.
