Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Renfrew

If you or someone you love has suffered an injury in Renfrew, knowing where to turn can be difficult. Our team has extensive experience with a wide range of personal injury claims and understands how to build a case that reflects the full impact of your injuries—both physical and emotional.

Car Accidents

Car crashes can result in more than just vehicle damage; they can change lives in an instant. Whether from whiplash, broken bones, traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, the effects can be long-lasting. We help clients navigate the Ontario Accident Benefits system and pursue recovery costs, lost wages, and ongoing care needs.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Slips, trips, and falls are common in Renfrew, especially in the winter months when walkways become icy. Property owners have a legal duty under the Occupiers’ Liability Act to maintain reasonably safe spaces. If you’ve been hurt on someone else’s property, we can help determine liability and guide you through your claim.

Animal Attacks and Dog Bites

Dog bites and other animal attacks can be traumatic and result in visible injuries and lasting emotional scars. The Dog Owners’ Liability Act enforces responsibility on pet owners and holds them liable for the actions of their pets. Whether suffering from a bite or attack, we’re here to ensure your injuries are taken seriously.

Assault and Sexual Assault

Physical and sexual assaults can leave a lasting impact that goes beyond the physical wounds. We approach these cases with care, sensitivity, and confidentiality, helping survivors pursue the justice and compensation they deserve. When needed, we can also help connect you with support services, such as therapists or counsellors in the Renfrew area.

Product Liability Claims

Defective or dangerous products can lead to serious injuries through no fault of your own. These cases often involve making a claim against manufacturers or retailers, and proving fault requires a detailed, evidence-based approach. We represent clients in Renfrew who’ve been harmed by everything from faulty appliances to hazardous consumer goods.

You Don’t Pay Us Until You’re Compensated

You Don’t Pay Us Until You’re Compensated

Seeking legal help after an injury shouldn’t be inaccessible if you’re worried about its costs. At David Hollingsworth Personal Injury Lawyers, we believe everyone in Renfrew deserves the opportunity to pursue fair compensation without the burden of upfront legal fees. That’s why we offer free consultations to start you off and help you understand your options in a pressure-free environment.

Contingency Fees That Put You First

Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we successfully recover compensation for you. This approach allows you to focus on healing, rather than on how to pay for legal services. We’re committed to doing what’s right for our clients, because your well-being is our priority every step of the way.

Finding the Right Injury Lawyer in Renfrew

When your health, finances, and future are at stake, choosing the right legal team can make all the difference. A lawyer who understands the personal and legal challenges of injury recovery, especially within Ontario’s legal framework, can be the key to building a strong, well-supported claim.

At David Hollingsworth, personal injury is our focus, and ensuring you receive compensation is our end goal. Our team has handled a wide range of complex cases, from minor injuries to severe and life-altering events. We develop personalized strategies, combining strong legal reasoning with genuine compassion.

Skilled in Personal Injury Cases

We’ve earned a reputation for being approachable, attentive, and results-driven. From your first consultation, you’ll notice the difference. We take the time to:

  1. Explain your legal rights clearly
  2. Walk you through potential outcomes
  3. Ensure you feel supported from start to finish.

How Our Team Stands Out

Our approach is multidisciplinary, drawing on deep knowledge of not only legal processes but also medical documentation, accident benefits, and insurance systems. This allows us to advocate more effectively for your needs, whether that means negotiating a fair settlement or preparing for trial.

Avoiding Common Pitfalls in Legal Representation

Not all personal injury lawyers take the same approach. If you feel like you’re being rushed, talked over, or treated like just another file, it may be time to reconsider your options. You deserve a lawyer who listens, communicates clearly, and takes your recovery seriously, financially and emotionally.
