You Don’t Have to Sue to Get Help — Why Talking to a Lawyer Isn’t a Commitment to Go to Court
Many Ontarians hesitate to call a personal injury lawyer after an accident because they assume it means filing a lawsuit. The word “lawsuit” can feel intimidating, confrontational, and time-consuming. But here’s the truth: speaking to a lawyer is about getting information, not jumping into litigation.
At Auger Hollingsworth, we meet people every week who thought they’d wait before calling because they “weren’t ready to sue.” But most of Auger Hollingsworth’s work isn’t about court—it’s about guidance. We help people understand their rights, explain what compensation might be available, and very often resolve claims without anyone stepping into a courtroom.
The insurance company starts building its case the moment your accident is reported. They have adjusters, evaluators, and defense lawyers. You deserve someone on your side from day one. That doesn’t mean launching a lawsuit. It means making informed decisions.
Once you call, you may realize you’re entitled to more than you thought—rehabilitation benefits, income replacement, or pain and suffering compensation. If court does become necessary, you’ll already be in a stronger position because you acted early.
Our clients often tell us that the greatest benefit of calling wasn’t legal action—it was peace of mind. They walked away from the first consultation feeling reassured, educated, and in control.
