What does a personal injury lawyer do?

A personal injury lawyer represents people who were hurt through someone else's negligence, and works to recover compensation for those injuries. The most common files are motor vehicle collisions, slip and falls, dog bites, and denied long-term disability claims.

This work is deadline-driven. Insurance-benefit claims often carry short notice windows, so it's worth getting advice early to protect your options.

In Newfoundland and Labrador, auto coverage comes from private insurers, and a claim proceeds against the at-fault driver.

How do you choose the right firm in St. John's?

Look for a track record with your specific type of claim, a clear answer on who'll handle your file day to day, and a firm that's willing to take a case to trial rather than settle early.

Most injury firms work on contingency, which means you don't pay legal fees up front and the firm takes an agreed percentage only if it recovers for you. The percentage and how disbursements are handled vary between firms, so ask for the retainer terms in writing.
