Accident and Personal Injury | O'Dea Earle Injury Lawyers

We’ve Been There Before,
Representing and Standing By Someone Like You.

Each year, hundreds of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians are involved in car accidents and other mishaps that result in injury. It can be a stressful experience as you deal with insurance companies, loss of work, injuries, and other life consequences, all while trying to recover.  

If you’ve been injured due to the negligence of another, you may be entitled to benefits and compensation, which can cover the cost of medical treatments, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses arising from your injury. 

It costs nothing to talk to us.  
When you have Questions, O’Dea Earle has Answers. 

Every personal injury case is different. Whether you have a case or not depends on the nature of your injury and how it happened. O’Dea Earle personal injury lawyers can assess your circumstances and advise on the next steps to take.

Several factors can influence the value of your claim. These include the extent and severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and other impacts on your life – be they emotional, financial, or both. O’Dea Earle injury lawyers have extensive experience representing personal injury cases in our province and are well equipped to appropriately value your claim and fight for the compensation you’re entitled to. Call us today to discuss the value of your claim. 

Personal injury cases vary in the time they take to conclude. Some may settle quickly, while others (particularly those with complicated medical issues or nuanced earnings loss components) may take longer. When we take your case at O’Dea Earle, we use our skills and experience to negotiate the best possible settlement for you. 

Don’t panic or fret with this question if you’ve just been in an accident. In Newfoundland and Labrador, the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim is two years. That said, recent changes to provincial legislation put an obligation on the injured party to report a potential claim within 120 days of the accident, so it is important not to delay (if you are outside this time but within the two years, we can still assist with your claim, but recommend you reach out as soon as possible). 

When you call on one of our seasoned personal injury lawyers, you’ll be touching base with a leader in the industry who’s helped people just like you countless times before. O’Dea Earle’s personal injury lawyers are local; they live right here and raise their families here. So, they know this place along with the types of injuries and claims that are prevalent here – and being top negotiators, they know how to get the best outcome for your claim. 

Key evidence items you may be required to provide include medical records, witness statements, accident reports, photos, a journal detailing your road to recovery, and any other records related to your injury and the accident. When you work with one of our personal injury lawyers at O’Dea Earle, we’ll advise you about what evidence is needed.  

When you bring your personal injury case to O’Dea Earle, you don’t pay anything up front, and there’s no fee until we resolve your case. 

With an O’Dea Earle lawyer in your corner, your focus is on the most important job: getting better. We’ll handle the insurance companies, obtaining the medical reports, preparing the claim, filing the necessary court documents, and everything else needed along the road to recovery.

    With more and more motorcycles on our provincial roads every year, the number of motorcycle accidents is increasing, and so is the need for lawyers who are skilled in handling the particulars of these kinds of personal injury claims. An O'Dea Earle lawyer can help you successfully navigate the particulars of a motorcycle injury claim.

  • Pedestrian Motor Vehicle Accidents

    Motorists must abide by the rules of the roads, but sometimes they don't. Pedestrian motor accidents can leave an individual severely injured with physical and emotional consequences for life.

    One of the most common types of personal injuries, slip and fall accidents can leave an individual severely injured.

    Being injured due to the professional negligence of another can be a traumatic experience with life-altering consequences both physical and financial. From determining fault to gathering evidence, an O'Dea Earle lawyer will be invaluable to your case in these circumstances.

A personal injury can take many forms, both physical and psychological. Broken bones, nerve damage, brain injuries, long-term pain, depression, and PTSD are just some of the injuries we see at our practice. Injuries may be caused by one of many types of accidents or by the negligence or carelessness of another.  

There is a long list of injuries that can be caused by an accident, but these injuries aren’t always immediately apparent or visible following the incident. Certain injuries, like neck or back damage, may not show themselves for days or weeks. The effects of physical and psychological injuries can persist for many years, or even a lifetime.
