Personal Injury Law Fees & Costs

Legal costs for personal injury cases are determined using a contingency fee structure.

After suffering an injury, often a person will experience income loss or other problems with carrying on with their day-to-day activities resulting in significant changes to their lives. At such a difficult time, legal fees should not create an additional burden. At Mackesy, Smye, we know that an injury or fatality in the family can wreak havoc and that legal fees can only compound the problem. This is the reason that we provide our services to you on a “contingency” basis. This means that you will not have to pay legal fees to us until the successful resolution of your case. This arrangement will be formalized when our firm takes on your case. In the course of resolving your claim, we will ensure that you are aware of what your net recovery will be after all fees, disbursements, and taxes are paid.

“My family and I would like to send this note of appreciation to you and your staff for all you did in the handling of the recent settlement. Your time and consideration to us all was much appreciated.”

Motor Vehicle Accident Claims

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident, there are a number of critical decisions that must be made. Who will care for you or your loved one upon release from the hospital? How do you access future health care service providers such as nurses, physiotherapists or personal support workers? Who will pay for those services? What insurance benefits are you entitled to? What do you have to do to receive those benefits?

Need of a Lawyer – Home Buying or Selling

When you buy a home the first step is usually to sign an Agreement of Purchase and Sale. This agree ment outlines each person’s rights and obligations and sets out what must happen before final closing. As such, it is generally a good idea to have the Agreement reviewed by a lawyer before you sign the agreement. This will help to prevent you from agreeing to something not in your best interests. This is particularly important when buying a new home from a builder because of the numerous and lengthy provisions in the agreement, especially those relating to extra charges and changes to the closing date.

Possessory Title

The recent case of Clark v. Kwasney decided by Mr. Justice Reid here in Hamilton further emphasizes the difficulty of establishing “squatters’ rights”. Counsel (Bordin) was unable to convince their clients to settle and therefore the matter proceeded in an expeditious manner to a hearing. The result was a split decision. The fenced area was lost and the unfenced area remained as per the deeds.
