Do I Have a Case? Who Can Make Personal Injury Claims in Nova Scotia?

In Nova Scotia, personal injury claims arise when someone suffers harm due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions. If you’ve been injured, you may be entitled to seek compensation from the liable party.

Most claims are handled through negotiations with an insurance adjuster from an insurance company. If a fair personal injury settlement cannot be reached, the insurer will retain a defence lawyer to dispute your lawsuit.

What Can You Claim?

Personal injury cases aim to restore you financially to the position you would have been in had the accident never occurred. Compensation may cover:

Pain and suffering (also known as general damages)
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Medical expenses and future medical treatment
Emotional distress and emotional suffering
Loss of valuable services (such as household duties you can no longer perform)

Ready to Pursue Your Personal Injury Claim? Here’s What to Expect

Step 1: Consult an Experienced Personal Injury Lawyer
When you meet with our Halifax personal injury lawyers, we will evaluate the strength of your injury case, discuss your best options, and explain the evidence needed.

Step 2: Investigate & Collect Evidence
We collect crucial documents such as medical records and accident reports. Our in-house physician, Dr. Laura Mitchell, plays a key role in strengthening your legal action by assessing your injuries and ensuring your medical treatment is fully documented.

Step 3: File Legal Pleadings
Once we have all the necessary evidence, we initiate the lawsuit by filing a Notice of Action and Statement of Claim. The other party must then defend the action, leading to the pre-trial phase, evidence exchange, and potential settlement negotiations.

Step 4: Settlement or Trial
Most personal injury lawsuits settle before reaching litigation. However, if necessary, we are fully prepared to present your case in court to pursue compensation for your injuries.

How Much Do Personal Injury Cases Settle for in Nova Scotia?

There are two main components of a personal injury settlement:

1. General Damages – Compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and permanent injuries.

2. Special Damages – Compensation for medical expenses, medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation, and future care costs.

For minor injuries, Nova Scotia has a minor injury cap, meaning settlements can be limited to a cap of around $10,000 for pain and suffering for minor strains, sprains, and whiplash injuries. However, your personal injury settlement amount depends
on multiple factors, such as the severity of your injury, insurance coverage, medical treatment, and any shared liability.
