Ontario Shoulder and Neck Injuries Lawyer
Orthopaedic injuries — injuries that occur to bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves — affect the very body parts that allow us to move, work and be active. Serious orthopaedic injuries can occur for a number of reasons, including slip-and-fall accidents, motor vehicle accidents and repetitive stress injuries.
At Strype Barristers LLP, our Toronto orthopaedic injury lawyers understand that trauma to the musculoskeletal system can create permanent problems for injury victims. In order to maximize the rehabilitation and compensation, we make sure our clients have timely and appropriate access to diagnosis and medical treatment, as well as the funds necessary to support these specialized procedures.
Timing Is Critical
After a serious orthopaedic injury, such as a torn rotator cuff or a neck injury, the human body requires timely diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation in order to prevent further degeneration and complications from arthritis. If an injury victim does not receive the correct treatment, rehabilitation or medication in a timely fashion, these injuries can have life-long consequences such as impaired mobility and chronic pain.
In many cases, insurers fail to assist injury victims as they seek a proper rehabilitation and treatment regime, which results in prolonged injury. This is where you can benefit from our experience in these cases. We have an extensive network of rehabilitation and orthopaedic specialists that help us make sure our clients receive the treatment they need to recover as fully as possible. We understand that these injuries can be subtle, and we can explain to your insurer how your injury is affecting your ability to function now and potentially in the future.
New Medical Procedures
A number of new, but invasive, procedures are available to diagnose neck injuries more quickly than through the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These new procedures have a 95 percent accuracy rate, which is critical in properly diagnosing injuries in order to prescribe the correct rehabilitation or treatment regimen. If you are having difficulty obtaining a proper diagnosis, we will work with our medical contacts to make sure you have access to all available diagnosis and treatment.
