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.”

Significant Auto Insurance Savings

Imagine yourself standing at the bakery counter of your local grocery store. There is a sign that reads bread is 15% off. You ask for a loaf but notice that the baker has cut it in half. Fifteen percent off but for half a loaf. You say that you want a full loaf. The baker says that would cost an extra 30%. Would you buy the loaf? Of course not. The only person benefiting from this deal is the baker. Yet, this is what Premier Wynne has put onto the people of Ontario when it comes to auto insurance. Here is how it works if, for example, a car driver ran a stop sign, broadsided your vehicle and you were injured.

Wills

Some of the benefits of making a Will include the ability to direct where your assets will go, the cost and time savings of dispensing with an administration bond and the speed in distributing assets to the beneficiaries, paying debts and fully administering the estate. Each is, in itself, a valid reason for having a Will prepared immediately. The cost to do far outweighs the cost of not doing.

Playgrounds and Structures
