Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Cornwall

If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury in Cornwall and is unsure where to turn, our team has the knowledge and experience to handle a wide range of personal injury claims. Some of the areas we focus on include:

Car Accidents

Car accidents can lead to devastating injuries, including spinal cord damage or traumatic brain injuries, with long-lasting effects on a person’s life. Handling a car accident claim involves more than seeking compensation for medical expenses; it also includes navigating the Ontario Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule to access support for caregiving, rehabilitation, and long-term recovery needs

Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip-and-fall accidents can happen anywhere, from icy sidewalks to wet floors in stores. At David Hollingsworth, we work to uncover the cause of the incident and pursue claims against the responsible party. Property owners have a duty under the Occupiers’ Liability Act to maintain safe, hazard-free spaces for visitors.

Animal Attacks and Dog Bites

As lovable as pets can be, they can also pose a serious risk if they bite. Under Ontario’s Dog Owners’ Liability Act, dog owners are responsible for their pets and can be held liable for any injuries their animals cause. Unexpected dog attacks can result in painful injuries, permanent scarring, and, in severe cases—especially involving children—long-lasting emotional trauma or a fear of animals.

Assault and Sexual Assault

Sexual assault can have a profound and lasting impact on a person’s life. It often leaves victims with both physical injuries and emotional trauma that can take years to heal. We understand the courage it takes to come forward and are here to support you every step of the way. Our team works to gather the evidence needed to pursue compensation for pain and suffering and can also help connect you with professional counsellors or therapists in the Cornwall area.

Product Liability Claims

When a product you trust proves to be unsafe, the consequences can be life-altering. In Ontario, product liability claims may arise when a defective product causes harm or injury to a consumer. These claims can be brought against manufacturers, distributors, or retailers in the supply chain, depending on the nature of the defect and the applicable laws.

No Fees Until You're Compensated

Everyone deserves the opportunity to seek justice, regardless of their financial situation. Coping with a personal injury is already overwhelming, and the thought of legal costs can make it even harder. At our firm, we offer complimentary initial consultations to create a safe and welcoming space where you can share your story and receive clear, compassionate legal guidance.

Contingency Fees for Accessible Legal Help

At David Hollingsworth, our contingency fee structure ensures that everyone has the chance to seek legal help without worrying about upfront costs. We agree on a percentage of your settlement and only collect fees if we are successful in your case. A serious injury can affect not just your health but also your financial stability, especially if you’re unable to work during recovery. With our team by your side, you can move forward with confidence, knowing we’re fully committed to supporting you and fighting for your success.
