This was my first time filing a lawsuit. I had no clue about how it works or if I even had a case. I had a phone consult and they explained how everything works and what to expect. The team is great. I mainly dealt with Paul Mooney and Daniel. They were so helpful and explained everything, gave me advice and told me my options. I also was worried I wouldn’t be able to afford a lawyer but I didn’t have to pay anything until I got my settlement. I ended up getting a settlement that I am quite happy with. Highly recommend.

I first heard of badre law through a friend. He told me they were very supportive and knowledgeable in their field. I personally had Ryan Hamilton working for me, and I could not have asked for a better person, he was kind, informative, and very good at explaining every detail to the dot. I strongly reccomend using badre law for their services. 5 out 5 from me!

Excellent work by my lawyer, Ryan Hamilton and my paralegal, Carlos Ortiz. The communication between myself and the professionals was excellent. They consistently kept me updated regarding my case. Daniel Badre, the owner took on my case when many other law firms refused to and basically said mine was a lost case. Daniel is a very optimistic and personable man, indeed. I recommend Badre Law to anyone seeking legal support. I was happy with my settlement from a vehicular taxi accident. Badre Law rocks!

Thank you Daniel, Alex, Olha and Franca. The MVA that we went thru impacted us way too deep. Our insurer kept on shortchanging us and drain us first of our patience, strength and self control before they are able to “help”. But you guys are exactly the opposite of the insurance guys. You are there to promptly answer our calls, listen, and give your expert advice. You gave no promises but you definitely delivered, with a BANG! We thought we don’t have a case, that we just have to suck up all the pain and troubles we went thru with the MVA. But you guys proved us wrong, that we deserve to be compensated. Thank you for making our case a Success! You guys are remarkable and we are deeply grateful. Sincerely, Andy and Angie.

I just wish that I met Daniel and his team much earlier. They are exceptional! Daniel was there for me when the heavy burden that I have been carrying since my older son's accident and got worse with my own accident, I could not bear any more. The honesty when going through the review of the case , are making Daniel, Alex and team trustworthy for the client. Professional, but still caring approach with dedication to succeed and make client happy, what I found here is not easy to find. They are there for you, all the time for all your questions. Alex worked out settlement with the insurance and with Daniel finalized my case, that allowed me to start again my much needed therapies. Dear Daniel, Alex and Team, the expertise, dedication and support you provided were exceptional and are greatly appreciated!

Mr. Bader was not only a skilled lawyer but also exceptionally nice and thoughtful throughout the entire process.

I can't thank Daniel Badre enough for his exceptional work on my accident injury case. Him and his team were always available to communicate with me and listened carefully to all of my concerns, both personal to my health and relating to the case. Throughout the 5 years that my case was ongoing, they kept me confident and reassured me every step of the way. His team especially is quick with replying to your questions, and leading you through the entire process. I appreciate Wanda a lot for also being my main stream of communication and for being so caring of me. Daniel’s professionalism and dedication to my case was truly remarkable and I appreciate his willingness to working with me. During the time it took to finalize my case, this company built a relationship with my family and I, and I appreciate them a lot. I would highly recommend Daniel Badre to anyone looking for an outstanding injury lawyer in Ottawa.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a personal injury lawyer or accident lawyer do, exactly?

When you’re injured in an accident, you may face financial hardships, pain and suffering, or long-lasting chronic pain or disability. A personal injury lawyer helps you recover compensation for lost wages, medical expenses and other damages. Above all else, a great personal injury lawyer will do whatever it takes for you to have the best quality of life possible after your accident.

Unfortunately, your insurance company is not on your side. They’re in the business of making money, so they’ll do whatever they can to pay you the least amount of money possible. There are multiple factors to consider when determining a fair settlement, so it’s best to consult a lawyer before settling to ensure you’re getting what you deserve.

Under the Ontario Limitations Act, you must file an injury claim within two years of the accident, with some exceptions. It’s always best to file a claim and contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to avoid any potential complications.

Yes. Injuries that seem minor at first can get worse over time or have long-term impacts on your health and overall wellbeing. Regardless of how severe your injuries are, it’s always a good idea to consult a personal injury lawyer. Even if you begin experiencing symptoms of injuries after the accident, seek medical care and legal advice promptly.

Most lawyers work on a contingency fee basis and offer free consultations. Usually, you won’t pay anything out of pocket; your lawyer only gets paid when and if you do. You can ask a lawyer about their fees during your consultation.

A contingency fee is an amount in which your lawyer collects when – and only when – you win your case. If your lawyer works on a contingency fee basis (they usually do), you won’t pay for legal fees out of pocket. Typically, it’s a percentage of about 20-35% of your settlement, but it depends on the lawyer and circumstance.

Ask family, friends, or co-workers if they’ve worked with or heard good things about a particular personal injury lawyer. Doing some online research is also a great way to find potential lawyers. Online reviews and testimonials will say a lot about lawyers’ success and relationships with their clients.

When hiring a lawyer, you want someone you can trust to do the job and who’ll have your back. Asking them some questions can help you to understand your case and their process better.

More often than not, you can settle personal injury cases without going to trial. However, in some circumstances, it may be necessary if neither party comes to an agreement, there’s no settlement offer, and or if there’s a disagreement concerning liability and damages.

The severity of your case, the extent of injury, how the accident has affected your daily life, and numerous other factors determine how much compensation you could receive. Your injury lawyer will know best and can provide you with an estimate.
