April, 2013: TORONTO, ON CANADA – Juanita Jiminez thought she would never see the light at the end of the tunnel when, after suffering a slip and fall accident that left her with sustained injuries, she was told she was not entitled to compensation. Fortunately she found Toronto personal injury law firm Share Lawyers, who have been able to get her the justice and compensation she deserved, and prevent her from being taken advantage of by the insurance adjuster and companies involved.
Juanita was injured when she slipped and fell on some ice outside her local mall. After the incident she required surgery on her right shoulder and was left with severe headaches that just wouldn’t go away. An insurance adjuster took a statement from her when she was alone in the hospital and said they would look into the case, but a month later she received a letter from them declaring that no liability rested on the shopping mall. Instead of compensation, they offered her the paltry sum of $2000 providing that she signed a release document preventing her from making any further claims.
This small sum of money would not even cover Juanita’s wages, yet alone her medical bills, but it seemed as though this was all she was going to get. Nonetheless, her friends advised her to contact a lawyer specializing in personal injury cases and find out what her rights and options were. She contacted Share Lawyers after learning about their track record of successful compensation claims, and they soon began handling the matter. After receiving a second denial letter from the adjuster they began legal proceedings.
Together with the lawyers for the shopping mall and the snow removal company, Share Lawyers and Juanita agreed to attend a private mediation. After much deliberation and lengthy mediation proceedings, the case was settled for the all-inclusive amount of $100,000.00. This was 50 X the amount she had initially been offered by the insurance adjuster. Juanita was thrilled and so glad that she had chosen to involve Share Lawyers in her case, particularly as she had been on the verge of simply accepting the miniscule offer because she had become too tired and fed up with the hassle of dealing with the adjuster.
