Motor Vehicle Accidents and Car Accident Lawyers in New Minas
As an operator of a motor vehicle, drivers have a huge responsibility to drive in a safe manner to avoid the potential of causing a collision with other drivers or pedestrians. Failure by a driver to operate a motor vehicle in a prudent manner may result in a serious car accident due to the negligence of the operator of the automobile. When an accident occurs, and injuries result in a motor vehicle accident, persons who are injured and are victims of the carelessness and negligence of another party have rights. The injured person may pursue compensation for any medical expenses that they may have to pay, any loss of income that may result due to being unable to work, pain and suffering for the harm that was inflicted, and other types of damages by commencing a legal proceeding against the driver who was at fault for the accident.
The lawyers at Wagners represent persons who have suffered catastrophic and/or non-catastrophic injuries from automobile accidents, including car, motorcycle, truck, bicycle and pedestrian accidents in New Minas, Nova Scotia.

Slip and Fall Injuries Lawyers in New Minas
A slip and fall accident can cause great stress for an individual who has been injured through no fault of their own. Not only would it have a serious effect on a person’s health due to the injuries that they received, the innocent party may also have to deal with an impact on their finances and ability to make ends meet. A fall on messy or unclean property, for example, can result in injuries that prevent the person who slipped and fell from carrying out their daily duties at their place of employment. A person’s finances may be adversely affected, and being able to provide for themselves or their family can lead to undue stress and hardship. Under many circumstances, a person who has suffered a slip and fall injury may be able to commence a lawsuit if they were injured due to negligence of the property owner or occupier of the property if that person did not take appropriate steps or remedies to ensure that the property was hazard free and did not constitute a dangerous environment to visitors, guests or the general public.
There is an expectation that commercial, private or public properties or premises must be free and clear of threats or perils by the owner or manager of the location. If the premises are not properly maintained numerous hazards may exist, resulting in significant injuries to visitors, such as:
- Water spills
- Inadequate lighting
- Snow and ice on sidewalks
- Fallen debris
A lawsuit may also be filed if the security of the property is found to be negligent and which has caused a situation where an individual suffers a slip-and-fall. Improper or no signage or warnings about the state of the property or any hazards that may exist may also have an impact on a legal proceeding, depending on the circumstances of the case.
An experienced slip and fall lawyer at Wagners can advise you about your rights, including how much time you have to commence a proceeding against the individuals or companies that are involved with the premises, whether it be ownership, maintenance or some other connection. When suffering an injury as a result of a slip-and-fall, it is also important to seek immediate medical treatment from a qualified medical professional so that the injuries are fully documented, including the cause for the injuries and the treatment received, even if at the time the injuries appear to be minor or not serious.
Birth Injuries Lawyers in New Minas
Along with the joy of parenthood comes worries and concerns about the health of your newborn child. Most births proceed smoothly and without difficulty, but those first few hours and days are especially important and your child’s health can depend on whether the care he or she is given during the birthing process is appropriate, proper and handled with the utmost standard of care. If complications occur during the birth or delivery of your child, and those medical professionals who have been entrusted to provide appropriate and excellent care were negligent in the birthing and delivery process, serious and irreversible catastrophic injuries may affect your baby for the rest of their life, which will also have an immediate and detrimental impact on you and your spouse’s lives. At Wagners, we focus on serious birth and delivery cases where the child, or the mother, suffers serious and adverse consequences.

Wrongful Death Lawyers in New Minas
The loss of life can have ramifications for many family members who have lost someone close or dear to them due to the negligence of other persons. A fatality which happens as a result of negligence or misconduct can be considered a wrongful death. Wrongful deaths can occur when patients did not receive the appropriate or proper treatment or care that is expected to be provided by medical professionals.
When someone dies or passes away while under the care of a hospital or other medical professionals the result is always devastating to those left behind. This grief and loss is exacerbated if the death was preventable or is directly attributable to the failure of those in the fields of medicine and care.
A wrongful death lawsuit is never a pleasant situation to be involved in. Wagners has assisted many Survivors or the Estate of the deceased by commencing wrongful death lawsuits against those medical professionals who have contributed to the untimely passing of a loved one as a result of their negligence or failure to provide an appropriate standard of care. Although the loss of a loved one has far-reaching impacts, compensation can be awarded for the loss to the beneficiaries of the deceased. In general, family members who seek compensation as a result of the wrongful death of a loved one may obtain damages as a result of the survivors’ loss of companionship, as well as expenses associated with the wrongful death, such as funeral expenses or other ancillary losses.
Wagner’ Medical Malpractice team is committed to representing those family members who are pursuing wrongful death claims as a result of a loved one’s death, holding hospitals, health care facilities and medical professionals responsible for their actions. The loss of a close family member or friend can never be made up for with words or actions, but financial compensation may provide some assistance to those who have been left behind after the untimely death of a relative.
