However, to his clients, he is a Knight in Shining Armor. He protects them from the harassment of insurance company adjusters, he pursues their rights to the compensation they deserve, and he fights tirelessly for them in court when needed.

  • Head on Collisions: These most often occur when drivers are attempting to pass other cars, sometimes at high speeds that prevent last minute corrections. Even with the safety measures that are now in place in vehicles, a head on collision at high speeds can cause serious injuries to the occupants of the cars.
  • Rear End Collisions: This is the most common type of collision.
  • Single Car Accidents: There can be a number of reasons for a single car accident, including improperly functioning parts on the car, such as brake failure or steering failure, as well as road conditions.
  • Multiple Car AccidentsTony Lafazanis knows from experience that trying to prove who was at fault in a multiple car accident can be difficult at best. However, he will investigate fully and compare his findings with what the police found to reach a determination.

Insurance companies are nothing to worry about with Tony Lafazanis on your side!

The court has the right to award compensation based on the percentage of fault for each person involved. For instance, your failure to use a turn signal does not excuse the other driver for running into you.

FAQs

1. What should I do after a motor vehicle or car accident in Toronto?

If you have been involved in a motor vehicle or car accident in Toronto, report the collision to the police or a Collision Reporting Centre where required by law, exchange information with the other parties involved, document the accident scene if it is safe to do so, and seek medical attention for any injuries.

Depending on the nature of your injuries and the circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, lost income, loss of future earning capacity, medical and rehabilitation expenses not otherwise covered, future care costs, and other damages recognized under Ontario law. The compensation available will depend on the facts of your case. Tony Lafazanis can review your claim and explain the compensation that may be available.

5. How is fault determined after a motor vehicle accident?

Evidence such as police reports, witness statements, photographs, vehicle damage, accident reconstruction reports, and other relevant information may be used to assess how the accident occurred. In some cases, more than one driver may share responsibility for the collision. Tony Lafazanis can explain how fault may affect your claim.

6. Should I accept the insurance company's first settlement offer?

Before accepting any settlement offer, it is important to understand the full extent of your injuries, financial losses, and future care needs.
