Why It’s So Hard to Make That First Call—and Why You’ll Feel Better Once You Do
If you’ve been injured in an accident, picking up the phone to call a personal injury lawyer might feel like the hardest part. You may be in pain, missing work, trying to keep up with your family’s needs, and feeling emotionally drained. The idea of calling a lawyer might seem like one more overwhelming task—especially if you’re not sure whether you even have a case.
At Auger Hollingsworth, we understand this hesitation. In fact, we’ve heard hundreds of Ontarians say they waited days, weeks, even months to reach out because they weren’t ready—or they were afraid of what they might hear.
Maybe you’re worried your injury isn’t serious enough. Maybe you think contacting a lawyer means you’ll be locked into a lawsuit. Maybe you just feel broken and exhausted and don’t want to talk about the accident at all. These feelings are real—and common. But here’s the truth: once you take that first step, things start to get better.
The first call to Auger Hollingsworth is not about pressure or commitment. It’s a conversation. You’ll speak with someone who understands what you’re going through. We’ll listen. We’ll answer your questions. And we’ll explain your options—plain and simple.
Most people who call us say they feel better almost immediately. They go from confused and powerless to informed and hopeful. They understand what timelines matter. They find out what benefits or compensation might be available. And just knowing that someone is in their corner—someone who understands Ontario personal injury law—makes a huge difference.
Until you speak with a lawyer, the insurance company has all the power and all the information. But once you call, the balance shifts. You begin to regain control of your future.
So if you’ve been sitting with that phone number in your hand—or if our name is saved in your browser tabs—know this: you’re not alone. And once you make that call, you’ll wonder why you waited.
