We Know Petawawa

Petawawa is a vibrant and fast-growing community, home to both long-time residents and members of the Canadian Armed Forces stationed at Garrison Petawawa. The area experiences steady traffic along Highway 17, Petawawa Boulevard, and Doran Road, as well as increased activity near military training zones and community recreation areas.

According to the Ontario Annual Safety Report for 2021, Renfrew County experienced a significant number of motor-vehicle collisions and injury-related incidents. Winter weather, rural road conditions, wildlife crossings, and busy commuter routes are all factors that increase risk for local residents.

We understand the specific challenges of living and driving in the Petawawa region. We are familiar with well-known locations such as Civic Centre Park, Pembroke Street corridor, Rocky Point Beach, and the surrounding Ottawa Valley trail system. This local knowledge helps us build strong, well-informed claims that accurately reflect the circumstances of your accident.

We proudly serve clients not only in Petawawa, but also in surrounding communities including Pembroke, Laurentian Valley, Deep River, Chalk River, Beachburg, and the broader Ottawa Valley.

Our lawyers will travel to your home, hospital, or rehabilitation centre throughout eastern Ontario. You don’t pay until you get paid.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Petawawa

Car Accidents

Car accidents in Petawawa can cause severe injuries, including fractures, whiplash, spinal cord injuries, chronic pain, and traumatic brain injuries. We help clients access Statutory Accident Benefits (SABS) and pursue compensation for pain and suffering, lost income, medical care, and long-term needs when another driver is at fault.

 

Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip-and-fall injuries can occur in commercial areas, public spaces, and private properties. Under the Occupiers Liability Act, property owners must keep their premises reasonably safe. We investigate the cause of the fall, collect evidence, and work to hold responsible parties accountable.

Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

Dog attacks can result in significant injuries, including lacerations, scarring, infections, and emotional trauma. The Dog Owners Liability Act makes owners responsible for harm caused by their animals. We help victims secure compensation for medical care, therapy, and ongoing effects.

Assault and Sexual Assault

These cases require a respectful and confidential approach. Survivors may experience long-lasting emotional and physical consequences. Our team offers sensitive support, helps gather documentation, and connects clients with counselling resources while pursuing compensation for the harm suffered.

Product Liability Claims

Products that are poorly manufactured, defective, or improperly labelled can cause serious injuries. We investigate product liability cases thoroughly and pursue responsible manufacturers, distributors, or retailers on your behalf.
