When you are involved in a car accident that wasn't your fault, you are entitled to compensation for your injuries, pain and suffering and time lost from work among other things. Time lost from work may be difficult to calculate though, especially if you are paid on commission, lose overtime as a result of the accident or if you are self-employed. A car accident lawyer in Toronto can be of great assistance in this situation, according to Andy Bruce of Oatley, Vigmond-Personal Injury Lawyers, as they have experience in determining how much should be required for lost wages.
