In personal injury cases, depositions are a vital part of the litigation process. Preparation is key for a successful deposition. If your case advances to this stage, understanding what to expect and how to prepare can make all the difference. 

A deposition involves giving sworn testimony during the discovery phase. It’s an opportunity for the opposing side to hear directly from you and gather evidence to assess the case. Your testimony helps provide context to the medical records and documents they’ve reviewed.

Typically, depositions include the witness, their attorney, opposing counsel, and a court reporter. Questions will mainly come from the opposing lawyer, often representing the defendant’s insurance company. Each lawyer’s approach varies, so your attorney will guide you on what to expect and support you throughout the process.

Depositions can be mentally taxing. Preparing in advance with your attorney will help you present your story confidently and accurately. While depositions are essential, many cases settle afterward, during mediation or pre-trial discussions. Taking this step seriously can strengthen your case and pave the way for a fair resolution.

Join Andrew Iacobelli, from Iacobelli Law Firm, as he explains the vital role of a demand letter in personal injury cases. A demand letter is an essential tool that kicks off settlement negotiations by clearly presenting the key aspects of your case and the evidence supporting your claims.

When sent by a lawyer, a demand letter signals to the insurance company that the claimant is serious, well-informed, and ready to pursue legal action. This prompts the insurer to take the claim more seriously and respond promptly to avoid costly litigation.

Whether you're a client or just looking to understand the process, this video provides valuable insights into how a demand letter can be a powerful tool in resolving your case. Tune in to learn how this simple document can make a big impact!

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

There are a lot of accidents where the police report and the client's version of events are different. As lawyers, we want to understand if there are any inconsistencies or if they've left out any important information to help find the truth behind your motor vehicle injury case.

The first thing we would do is to see whether or not there are any witnesses listed in the police report. We will try to get the witnesses' information so that we can get a statement from them. If there are competing stories to the accident, a witness statement is very helpful in terms of trying to resolve issues of liability and how it occurred.

What other evidence did the police collect? Did they look at the vehicle? Did they see if there were any rub marks on it or any transfers? Was the car dirty? Did our client take photographs or anybody take photographs at the scene of the accident? Because sometimes you'll find some information there.

Was the injury consistent with a trip and fall? For us, we looked at the injury itself to see if it is consistent with a trip and fall? Having it looked at by a biomechanical engineer, who is an engineer that studies how forces act on the body. We are usually able to determine if it’s possible to get that kind of fracture from just simply tripping and falling or if the injury was the result of a motor vehicle accident.

ABOUT IACOBELLI LAW FIRM

The compassionate and competent legal team at our Ontario personal injury law firm can help you and your family on your road to recovery.

========================

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

What To Do Following a Slip and Fall Incident

1. Notify the Business or Store Manager

Following a slip and fall incident the first thing that you should do is to notify the store or the store manager so that an incident report is recorded. Make sure your accident is recorded and it is documented that you were physically in the store. This will be essential if you need to take your claim to court and the insurance company requires proof that the slip and fall did in fact occur.

2. Take photographs of your surroundings and area you slipped and fell on

Another very important thing to note is to remember to take pictures of the area that you slipped and fell on. Evidence of your surroundings will be helpful in your claim so it is important to document and take photographs of the floor, stair, uneven pavement, etc. Remember to pay attention to what’s on the floor whether it be liquid or ice build up that was the cause of your slip and fall. This will be crucial if you need to back up your claim with evidence long after the accident’s occurrence.

3. Identify witnesses and take down contact information

If there are witnesses, ask for the witness' names and contact details so that your lawyer can call them for a witness statement. If the accident occurred inside a premises such as a mall or a retail store, the parties that are involved might be different.

Why it’s important to report your slip and fall incident ASAP

There is a specific time period that we have to provide notice to the potential defendants in the slip and fall case. It’s important to note that on slip and fall/ trip and fall cases in particular, time is critically important and very short as compared to some other injury type claims. Property owners need to be given notice very shortly after so it is important to document your accident in an incident report immediately.

Many people are unaware that once these notice periods are up and no notice is provided, it might bar you from ever submitting a claim and recovering any damages from potential defendants.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident, you understand how quickly life can change in an instant. Motorcycle accidents are unlike any other motor vehicle collisions, and the consequences are often devastating. In this informative video, Andrew Iacobelli of Iacobelli Law Firm explores why motorcycle accidents deserve special attention and how understanding the unique aspects of these incidents can be critical in seeking justice and fair compensation.

Motorcycle accidents often lead to severe injuries, such as head trauma, broken bones, and spinal cord damage. Unlike drivers in cars or trucks, motorcyclists are far more exposed, which puts them at greater risk for life-altering consequences. Liability is a crucial factor in any personal injury case, and Andrew highlights how motorcycle accidents pose unique challenges. Establishing fault can be complex, especially when witnesses or at-fault drivers misjudge the circumstances of the crash. Andrew shares insights from studies showing that even well-meaning witnesses can misinterpret what happened, often underestimating the distance or speed of the motorcycle due to its smaller size. This can unfairly shift blame onto the motorcyclist, making it even more important to have a lawyer who understands these nuances.

Motorcycle accidents don’t just affect the rider; passengers are also at risk and almost always have the right to pursue a claim. Andrew explains how passengers can seek compensation, whether the fault lies with the motorcycle operator or another party.

If you're dealing with the aftermath of a motorcycle accident, this video is a must-watch. Don’t navigate this challenging time alone—reach out to Iacobelli Law Firm for a free consultation 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week.

Insurance companies often try to settle injury claims for less than they’re worth. In this video, we break down key warning signs that your insurer may be making a lowball offer, including:

✅ Vague settlement offers with missing details

✅ Offers that don’t fully cover medical bills, lost wages, or pain & suffering

✅ Adjusters using pressure tactics to rush you into signing

✅ Downplaying the severity of your case

✅ Deliberate delays to push you past filing deadlines

Insurance adjusters frequently present initial offers that fail to cover the full extent of your damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, future treatment costs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. An experienced lawyer can assess the true value of your claim, ensuring that all damages are accounted for. Don’t settle for less than you deserve—your case is likely worth more than the insurer’s offer! With legal representation, insurers take claims more seriously, knowing that attorneys understand case law, negotiation strategies, and courtroom procedures. A lawyer can advocate for a higher settlement or take your case to court if necessary.

Before signing anything, get legal advice!

In many places, dog bites fall under “strict liability” laws, meaning the dog owner is automatically responsible, regardless of negligence. This makes it easier for victims, as the focus shifts to assessing damages instead of proving fault. 

If bitten, try to obtain the contact information and address of the dog’s owner. Reporting the incident to animal control or local authorities helps document the bite and ensures the dog’s vaccinations, particularly for rabies, are verified.

In many cases, a dog owner’s homeowner’s or tenant insurance will cover dog bite incidents. Dog bites can result in a range of injuries, from minor wounds to serious lacerations, and sometimes even lasting psychological trauma. A lawyer can help assess the damages and determine the best steps to take.

If you or someone you know has been injured in a dog bite incident, consult a lawyer for guidance on your rights and options for fair compensation.

In this episode, Andrew explains how juries are selected for car accident trials and how insurance companies benefit from them. Most car accident cases that end up in court are usually tried in front of a jury and insurance companies prefer juries because they think juries are less likely to trust people who have been hurt in a car and less likely to award them money. Andrew will discuss three pieces of law in Ontario that affect the compensation an injured party can receive following a car accident, but which are hidden from juries during a trial. These laws include the deductible, which requires the judge to reduce the jury's award of damages outside of the presence of the jury; the cap, which limits the amount of money people in Ontario can recover for pain and suffering; and the threshold, which allows the insurance company to ask the judge to second-guess the jury's decision to award compensation to an injured party.

These laws are stacked against the victim of the injured party to drive down the value of the case and make it difficult for them to receive fair compensation. Whether you agree with it or not, our system is designed to push down and limit the value of claims. Hopefully this episode will open your eyes to some of the challenges and difficulties that injured party's face every time they bring their case to court.

When selecting legal representation, contingency fee agreements offer a powerful alternative to traditional hourly billing, making justice more accessible to those who may not have the financial means to pursue a case.

Join Andrew Iacobelli of Iacobelli Law Firm as he explores how contingency fees remove financial barriers, allowing clients to secure legal services without upfront costs. He will explain how these agreements cover essential expenses—such as court fees and expert reports—and ensure that lawyers only receive payment if the case is successful.

Andrew will also discuss how contingency fee structures align the interests of clients and lawyers, prioritizing resolution and fair outcomes. While commonly used in personal injury cases, contingency fees can also apply to other civil disputes, benefiting both individuals and businesses seeking rightful compensation.

Exploring Canada can be exciting, but if an accident occurs, understanding your rights is crucial. Canada and the U.S. share common law principles, allowing Americans injured in Canada to pursue civil claims for personal injuries. However, Canadian laws and procedures differ, so knowing what steps to take can make all the difference.

In Ontario, for instance, tourists injured due to negligence—whether in a car accident or slip-and-fall—may seek compensation. American visitors often have an advantage, as Canadian insurers tend to resolve claims efficiently due to the fast medical documentation available through U.S. healthcare. Swift access to imaging and treatment supports claim documentation, strengthening your case.

If you’re an American injured in Canada, consult with a lawyer experienced in cross-border claims. Our firm provides free consultations to guide you through this process, helping you secure the compensation you deserve. Contact us via our website or toll-free for support.

Is everything I say to my lawyer confidential? Lawyer-client privilege protects the confidentiality of communications between a lawyer and their client. This privilege enables clients to speak openly and honestly with their attorneys, knowing that the information shared cannot be disclosed to others, including in court. It promotes trust and effective legal representation by allowing clients to share sensitive information without fear of it being used against them. Lawyer-client privilege safeguards the privacy of attorney-client discussions, ensuring a foundation of trust within the legal system.

In today’s video, Ontario Personal Injury Lawyer Andrew Iacobelli will explain how lawyer client privilege works. Lawyer-client privilege is a critical legal protection ensuring confidentiality between clients and their attorneys. It means that communications between them cannot be disclosed. This privilege works both ways: clients can also openly share information with their lawyers without fear of it being shared with third parties, like insurance companies or doctors.

Andrew will share why it’s crucial to share all facts and information with your lawyer, even potentially harmful details, like employment history, unreported income, or past medical issues. Failure to disclose such information can harm your case and credibility.

The lawyer-client privilege begins the moment you consult with an attorney, even before officially hiring them. It remains intact even after your case concludes or your relationship with the lawyer ends. This assurance of ongoing confidentiality should give you peace of mind.

Remember, your lawyer is there to help you navigate legal processes, especially in personal injury cases. Being transparent and sharing all information will empower your lawyer to secure the best possible outcome for your case. If you have questions or need assistance, reach out for a free consultation.

Join Andrew Iacobelli as he uncovers the truth behind insurance medical examinations. In this episode, you’ll learn why these so-called “independent” assessments are far from impartial. Insurance companies are meticulous when it comes to selecting doctors to evaluate accident victims. Their primary objective is to minimize payouts and pay as little as possible for your injury or claim. Discover the tactics insurance companies employ to defeat or deny claims. 

Learn about the importance of legal advice when attending these mandatory examinations. It’s crucial to be honest when discussing your injuries and pre-existing health conditions with doctors. Regular treatment with your healthcare providers on a consistent basis will help strengthen your case when your file is put under the microscope in court.

Andrew will also discuss common surveillance tactics used by insurance companies. Insurance companies will often employ surveillance in personal injury cases to detect inconsistencies in claimants' behavior, looking for evidence that may contradict the severity of their injuries or impairments.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:

How do you afford to pay your lawyer if you've been involved in a serious accident? Many people who come to us have just been involved in a serious accident, whether it's a car accident or a slip and fall accident, and they're dealing with a whole host of problems, worries and concerns. Maybe you're not sure how you're going to get back to work and pay your bills.

One of the biggest concerns people have is how can I afford to pay a lawyer when I have to worry about paying my next bills, paying my mortgage, my rent expenses, et cetera. You may have heard lawyers advertising, No Win, No Fee or You Pay Us Nothing Unless We Recover Money For You or otherwise refer to as a contingency fee agreement. A contingency fee agreement means you don't pay your lawyer anything, unless your lawyer is successful in recovering money for you at the end of the case. And it's actually really as simple as that. 

During the pendency of your case, you're never going to get any bills or charges for phone calls, meetings or letters with your lawyer. Including any of the time the staff, paralegal or law clerk spends on advancing your case. In addition, expenses such as the cost of retrieving medical records, filing fees at the courthouse, process servers for serving documents, transcript costs, etc. will be paid in advance for your case. At the end of the case, you never have to worry about how much time your lawyer's put into the case or how many phone calls you’ve had. With a contingency agreement in place you never have to worry about your bill exceeding the value of your case.

It's also important to note that in most jurisdictions, including Ontario, contingency fee agreements are regulated. So that means the language in the contract you signed with your lawyer has already been approved. Every lawyer has to give to their clients accompanying brochures or statements whenever they enter into a contingency fee agreement.

No matter your background, no matter your financial situation, a contingency fee agreement allows everybody to have equal access to justice. It doesn't matter your financial resources or your connections and which lawyer you can afford. You can have peace of mind knowing that you can retain and hire the best lawyer, the best legal team for you.

In today’s video, Andrew will discuss the significance of reporting all of your injuries and symptoms if you’ve been injured in an accident. It’s not just about noting your injuries; it’s about connecting them to the accident and ensuring your medical history and treatment is accurate and supports your claim.

Insurance companies are always seeking ways to deny claims. Complete medical records are crucial when pursuing an insurance claim. Insurers may request these records to assess the validity of your injuries and determine the extent of coverage. Inaccurate or incomplete information could lead to claim denials or reduced compensation. Furthermore, if your doctors are called to testify in a legal case, they must provide accurate and comprehensive information. Failing to document or acknowledge injuries could undermine their credibility during cross-examination and weaken your case.

Documenting all of your injuries and symptoms after an accident is essential to protect your rights and maximize your chances of a successful personal injury claim. Empower yourself with knowledge that can make all the difference in your recovery and financial well being. If you have questions or need assistance, reach out for a free consultation.

Hit and run accidents are unfortunate accidents where a motor vehicle gets into an accident with another vehicle and then they subsequently flee the scene.

The first thing that you should do is always call the police so that they can come onto the scene to obtain a motor vehicle accident report documenting that you were involved in a hit and run accident. A hit and run accident starts off as an unidentified driver, unidentified vehicle accident. Even though it starts off as a hit and run accident or an unidentified vehicle accident. There could be clues to help identify who owned the vehicle or the driver.

You want the police out there so they can speak to witnesses and look for physical evidence on the scene of the accident. Sometimes what starts off as a hit and run leads to the police identifying the driver or at least identifying the vehicle.

A lot of people think that if a car fled the scene and is never located, that they're out of luck, but in many instances you actually still have a lot of rights to seek compensation for your injuries through insurance companies.

First Party Claims- No Fault Side of Benefits.

No fault side of the benefits entitled you to certain medical rehabilitation benefits and income replacement benefits. And all of those rights also remain the same even if you are found to be at fault or if you're not at fault as well. So those are available to everyone, with few exceptions, irrespective of how the accident happened. Ordinarily if an at fault driver was identified. You would have a claim against them, and that would be defended and paid for by their insurance company.

UIM- Underinsured or Uninsured Motorist Coverage.

Now if that car flees the scene and is never found. The good news is you could still, in many instances, have a claim against insurance. And that's a really unique coverage referred to as UIM- Underinsured or uninsured motorist coverage. In a UIM coverage situation, your own insurance company would act as the at fault party's insurance company and therefore you would seek damages and compensation through your own insurance company instead.

Hit and Run Accidents Involving Cyclist or Pedestrian.

Even if it's a cyclist or a pedestrian, their own insurance company, their own auto insurance company would still cover them. The no fault insurance that we talked about earlier. As well as if the other driver fled the scene. Their own insurance company would also step in as a UIM carrier or in underinsured or uninsured motorist insurance policy.

There are many different types of benefits and coverage available to you as a victim of a hit and run accident. This is the reason why it's very important for you to hire a lawyer from the outset in a motor vehicle accident to get the compensation you deserve.

Did you know your family, friends and work colleagues, known as lay witnesses, could be invaluable in proving your case in a personal injury claim after an accident? Family, friends and co-workers make excellent witnesses for personal injury claims due to their credibility, first-hand knowledge and ability to provide consistent accounts of the accident's impact on your life. Testimony from lay witnesses can corroborate damages, offer emotional support and present an objective perspective on how your injuries have affected your daily life and work performance.

In today’s episode, Personal Injury Lawyer Andrew Iacobelli will discuss how lay witnesses can be a major asset to your personal injury claim. Family, friends and co-workers are generally seen as credible and unbiased witnesses. They are not financially or personally invested in the outcome of your claim, which can enhance their reliability in the eyes of the court. These personal relationships with you can lend credibility to your case.

If multiple individuals who know you well provide consistent accounts of your condition and how the accident has affected you, it strengthens your case. Consistency among lay witnesses can help establish a clear and accurate narrative on how your injuries and symptoms have affected your abilities to perform daily activities or engage in recreational activities and hobbies.

Andrew will also share how work colleagues, in particular, can provide an objective perspective on how the injury has affected your job performance, attendance, and overall work life. This can be important in cases where you are seeking compensation for lost wages or earning capacity.

If you’ve been injured in an accident, your family, friends and co-workers can provide invaluable support and credibility to strengthen your personal injury claim. If you have questions or need assistance, reach out for a free consultation.

Traveling can be full of exciting adventures, but an unexpected accident can quickly turn everything upside down. For Canadians injured while visiting the U.S., knowing your rights and the necessary steps to secure assistance can make all the difference. Here’s a guide on what to do if you find yourself in this situation.

Firstly, prioritize your health. Even without travel health insurance, seek medical attention if necessary, especially in serious cases. While U.S. medical costs can be high, many healthcare providers will work with you on payment terms, especially if you have legal representation.

If someone else is at fault, your claim may cover medical costs, and many providers will agree to delay payment until your case is resolved. In some situations, your attorney may even be able to negotiate bill reductions, potentially saving you substantial costs.

Choosing whether to hire a lawyer in the U.S. or Canada is another decision that requires careful thought. Consulting a cross-border injury lawyer before rushing into representation can provide you with valuable guidance. For Canadians dealing with U.S.-based injuries, seeking legal advice early can ease the process and maximize your claim's success.

Cross-border accidents present unique challenges for both Canadian and American residents. Whether you're a Canadian injured in the United States or an American hurt in Canada, understanding your legal rights is essential.

In cross-border accidents, auto insurance can add another layer of complexity. The injured person’s auto insurance coverage may offer additional rights, even though the accident happened in another country. For example, an Ontario resident injured in Florida may still benefit from Ontario's no-fault insurance provisions, providing additional compensation that Florida law alone might not offer.

Cross-border injury claims are complicated, involving the laws of the accident's jurisdiction and the injured party's home jurisdiction. Factors such as insurance coverage, types of injuries, and varying legal systems all play a role in determining the best course of action. Consulting with an experienced lawyer who understands both jurisdictions is key to navigating this complex process. If you or a loved one has been involved in a cross-border accident, contact us for a free consultation. We're here to help you understand your rights and explore your options for compensation.

========================

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

We're gonna talk about situations where somebody has been involved in an accident and has sustained injuries, but they already had a history of some prior illness or health issue or injuries. And how that creates a challenge to the claim and sort of some of our strategies to overcome those challenges.

If clients have pre existing injuries, more often than not, the insurance company would try to use that to their advantage and basically try to pin all the new injuries saying that it was from the preexisting injuries, our clients pre existing injuries. So it's very important to let your doctor know how the injuries have been exacerbated, or how they're different from your pre existing injuries.

It's important for clients to know they need to be forthcoming because sometimes people might wanna hold back information when they're talking to a lawyer and they're kind of downplaying their pre-existing because they're afraid people are gonna judge them by that and try to attribute everything to that. Be open and honest about previous injuries and pre-existing conditions.

Be as candid as possible. It's better for your lawyer to know what you’re dealing with so they can come up with strategies to best address it.

What kind of things do you see the insurance company doing when they see preexisting health?

Generally speaking, whenever insurance companies see that potential clients have preexisting health conditions, they basically try to pin all their current symptoms since the accident on the preexisting health conditions. And again, that's why it's so important to let your doctors know how they differ from your previous injuries.

To further the claim, we would obtain statements from family members, coworkers and friends, to speak about how you were functioning before the accident, as opposed to after the accident. This is so that you can show how the accident impacted your life. In terms of compensation, the insurance companies are only gonna pay for how it affected your life and how it affected your medical condition.

What's the difference between the crumbling skull and the thin skull theory? That's a term that lawyers use.

The thin skull theory is a theory in law. It's a rule of law basically that says that if somebody causes harm to another person, they're responsible for the outcome irrespective of the fact that that person may have been more vulnerable. Conversely, the insurance company and their lawyers will try to paint the picture using a different theory of law, which is called crumbling skull. Crumbling skull theory says that this person was deteriorating with time and the injuries were bound to happen eventually.

The best way to defeat that is obviously with medical evidence. So you need doctors, you need specialists, you need experts that can give those kinds of opinions. But then you have to also get behind that, bring it to life, beyond just the black and white and the medical records. With the observations of the people that know this person best. And that can be really, really persuasive in these types of cases.

Time is never on your side when you’re injured. The statute of limitations is a legal time limit that dictates how long you have to initiate a lawsuit after a specific event, such as an accident or injury. Once this prescribed period expires, you typically lose the right to bring a legal claim, regardless of its validity. Don't let the insurance companies gain the upper hand by waiting too long. Learn why time is of the essence and how early action can level the playing field. Watch now and safeguard your rights to fair compensation for your injuries, harms and losses.

Join Andrew Iacobelli as he explains the concept of the Statute of Limitations in personal injury cases. The Statute of Limitations is a legal time limit within which an individual must initiate a lawsuit following an injury-causing incident. Failure to do so, with few exceptions, can result in the forfeiture of the right to bring a claim.

In this episode Andrew will discuss the importance of seeking legal advice promptly after an accident. Speaking with a lawyer is not an immediate commitment to filing a lawsuit; rather, it is an opportunity to understand one's rights and obligations while preserving the claim's integrity. Waiting too long to seek legal advice can be detrimental to a case, as evidence may be most, memories fade over time  and insurance companies often begin building their defense as soon as they become aware of potential claims. 

Consulting with a lawyer early, not only protects your rights but also ensures you have adequate time to assess the merits of your claim and make informed decisions about legal action. If you have questions or need assistance, reach out for a free consultation.

Insurance companies are making moves after your accident – are you prepared for the insurance company's call following an accident? In today’s video, Andrew Iacobelli will discuss what individuals should do when contacted by insurance companies after an accident.

Discover the reasons why it is strongly recommended to consult with a lawyer before engaging with your insurer.

In today’s video, Personal Injury Lawyer Andrew Iacobelli will be discussing the importance of having the right treatment team in place after an accident or other injury.

ABOUT IACOBELLI LAW FIRM

Iacobelli Law Firm is a dedicated personal injury law firm serving all of Ontario. If you or a loved one has been injured, you do not have to face the consequences alone. The compassionate and competent legal team at our Ontario personal injury law firm can help you and your family on your road to recovery.

========================

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

The first thing you want to do following a motor vehicle accident is call emergency services. Dial 911 so the accident's reported immediately. If you need an ambulance, let them know if somebody is hurt.

The second thing to do after a motor vehicle accident is to make sure you get a police report. Insurance companies will fight if the accident is not reported to the police and people can change their stories later.

The third thing to do after a motor vehicle accident is to identify witnesses. So if people come to you after the accident and identify themselves as having seen the accident and tell you they saw it and they know you're not at fault, make sure you get their information.

The fourth thing to do after a motor vehicle accident is to stand back and take photographs of the cars or the vehicles involved so that the photographs capture the location of the vehicles relative to intersections and laneways.

The fifth thing to do after a motor vehicle accident is to seek medical attention as soon as you can.

I would encourage you to follow these five steps because they're very important if you ever have to make any claims. So following a motor vehicle accident, you will have the right in most instances to make a claim. Sometimes those are with your own insurance, and sometimes it involves an insurance company for the at-fault party. But either way, these insurance companies, they'll use every opportunity to minimize and sometimes even defeat the claim entirely. So to wipe out the claim.

Don't put yourself in a situation where you're fighting with insurance companies unnecessarily. Take these steps and you'll have a much more straightforward, I'm not going to say necessarily easier, but a much more straightforward ability to advance your claims should you need to.

Boating accidents, while often unexpected, can lead to serious injuries. Andrew Iacobelli of Iacobelli Law Firm discusses the importance of taking immediate steps to protect your health and legal rights if you're involved in such an incident. The first priority after any accident is seeking medical attention. Prompt medical care ensures that injuries are treated and documented, which is important for any future claims.

Many boating accidents are caused by operator negligence, including failure to follow navigational rules, speeding, or lack of proper safety equipment. In these cases, injured passengers may hesitate to file a claim due to personal relationships with the boat operator. However, most boats are insured, and claims are typically handled through the insurance company.

Understanding the laws surrounding boating accidents can be complex, as they vary depending on the body of water. Consulting a lawyer experienced in boating accidents ensures you navigate these challenges and protect your rights.

In this video, Andrew Iacobelli, a personal injury lawyer with Iacobelli Law Firm, discusses what to do if you are a Canadian who gets injured while traveling in Florida. 

1. Report the Accident Immediately to the Police

Just like an accident anywhere else in the world? The first thing you want to do is make sure it's reported to the police. You want a police report immediately to secure the evidence of what happened at the scene of the accident.This will also be beneficial when it comes time to file an insurance claim and bring claims for your injuries.

2. Get Medical Treatment or an Assessment Even If You Feel Fine

Get medical treatment as soon as possible, even if you feel fine after the motor vehicle accident.. Even though you're a Canadian and you're concerned about healthcare costs in the United States, your wellbeing is first and foremost. So we highly recommend that you do get treatment immediately. If you don't go to the hospital, you should at least go to an urgent care center and get checked out before you can make it back home to Canada. 

Andrew will discuss the various healthcare coverage options for Canadians, including extended healthcare coverage through employers, spouse or family members, travel insurance, and auto insurance coverage. 

3. Speak To A Lawyer As Soon As You Can

Speak to a lawyer as soon as you can. As daunting as US healthcare expenses might be, put your healthcare first and your wellbeing first and then let us help you get it paid for through the various avenues available to you as a Canadian.

Should you be speaking to a lawyer in Florida or in Canada? Having carved a unique niche for personal injury in both Canada and the United States, Andrew will discuss the benefits of speaking to a lawyer who assists Canadians on both sides of the border.

In today’s episode, Andrew Iacobelli of Iacobelli Law Firm explores how to explain your damages at a deposition. Clients often struggle with this aspect, yet it is crucial for defense lawyers, insurance companies, judges, and juries in evaluating the value of a case. "Damages" is the legal term for the monetary compensation you're seeking in a personal injury claim. It encompasses several factors that are used to determine the worth of your lawsuit. 

The foundation of assessing damages lies in understanding who you or the injured person were before the accident. This baseline is key to quantifying the changes and losses experienced. Andrew will help you examine your pre-accident life through what insurance companies value: your health, recreation, work capabilities, and household responsibilities. Insurance companies will analyze these areas to gauge how the accident has altered your life. The greater the difference between your pre-accident and post-accident life, the higher the potential compensation. Civil litigation aims to restore you to your pre-accident state as much as possible through financial compensation, as courts cannot restore health or job positions.

Damages are not all the same. Economic losses, such as income loss, are quantifiable, often requiring expert analysis to project future losses. Conversely, non-economic losses like pain and suffering are less tangible and typically assessed by a jury.

With expert guidance, you can effectively illustrate the extent of your harms and losses, which is crucial for maximizing your case's value. If you have questions, we are available 24/7 to assist you. Feel free to call us or complete our contact form.

In today's video, Andrew and Colton from Iacobelli Law Firm shed light on the complex world of disability claims. Navigating this process can be daunting, and unfortunately, many claims end up being denied.

Join us as we break down the top three reasons why disability claims are often denied and steps you can take to improve your chances of a successful claim.

Insurance companies look for discrepancies between your claims and actual activities. Learn why detailed, consistent medical documentation is essential and how to ensure you have the necessary evidence to back up your claim. Andrew and Colton will also discuss the importance of maintaining consistency in your statements and actions to avoid giving insurers a reason to deny your claim.

Facing a denied claim can be frustrating, but don't lose hope. We hope this video will provide you with the knowledge and strategies to challenge a denial effectively. Contact us today if you believe your claim has been unfairly denied.

If an individual is disabled in an accident and has sustained very traumatic injuries that renders them unable to make decisions on their own. A Substitute decision maker, usually their next of kin such as the wife or husband would step in and be listed as their guardian. and advise us that their loved one was involved in a very serious motor vehicle accident for example. More likely than not, they're gonna be listed as their guardian. As a substitute decision maker they could make not only all the legal decisions but also financial decisions such as opening or closing bank accounts and authorizing payments.

What Is A Litigation Guardian?

The litigation guardian also makes decisions on behalf of the plaintiff who's disabled or a minor. A Litigation Guardian has effective control over the case brought on behalf of a person with a disability. As a lawyer, we would take instructions from the litigation guardian over matters such as any potential settlements and decisions that would benefit the plaintiff.

What Is A Capacity Assessment?

A capacity assessment is a tool used to evaluate if an adult is capable of making personal or financial decisions on their own behalf and understand the consequences of their decisions. A capacity assessor would run tests to see if the adult understands all the facts and considerations when making a decision. It is important to assess individuals who have suffered traumatic brain injuries to determine whether or not they require someone to step in to make personal decisions for them.

What Are Structured Settlements?

Typically what would happen in a settlement, if you settled your case for X dollars, you get a check for X dollars. In a structured settlement instead of paying you directly the money. The insurance company actually buys an annuity. The settlement is structured so that it pays out whatever form and amounts you've agreed upon. These can be very helpful in cases where someone needs lifelong healthcare and there are monthly expenses required. There would just be payouts monthly to cover those expenses so that the capital's preserved.

With children that are injured, you can structure the settlements so that there are payouts when they reach the age of majority and payouts throughout their 20’s into their 30’s. So there's a lot of value to structured settlements and it’s a good way to preserve capital to protect the injured party. s. It's a good way to, like I said, preserve capital. Protect the injured party.

There's a lot of flexibility when you're representing people that are under disability or a minor. If you have any questions or think you are in a situation where you need help with an injury claim involving a disabled party or a minor. Feel free to contact us today!

Having a lawyer by your side during legal proceedings, especially when dealing with insurance companies, is crucial for protecting your rights and ensuring fair treatment. When faced with lowball offers from insurance companies, having legal representation becomes even more important.

Insurance companies often aim to minimize payouts, offering settlements far below what may be fair compensation for your injuries or damages. An experienced personal injury lawyer can assess the true value of your claim based on various factors such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering and future damages. They can then negotiate with the insurance company to secure a fair settlement that accurately reflects the extent of your losses.

A lawyer will have the expertise to evaluate the true extent of your losses, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future damages. They can work to secure a fair and just settlement that fully compensates you for your losses.

If presented with a lowball offer from the insurance company, it's essential to consult with a lawyer immediately. Remember, your lawyer is your advocate, fighting for your rights and best interests every step of the way.

In this episode, Andrew Iacobelli, from Iacobelli Law Firm, will help you navigate lowball offers on personal injury claims.

By building a strong case that can be presented in court, the likelihood of receiving a fair settlement increases significantly. Learn about the importance of maintaining a consistent treatment plan and how being honest about symptoms and injuries can discourage lowball offers by creating risk for insurance companies.

When faced with an unreasonable offer, it's essential to stay composed and seek guidance from a legal representative.

If you have any questions or need assistance with your personal injury claim, feel free to reach out to us. Our team is available 24/7 to provide support and guidance.
