Strategic advocacy for the compensation you deserve​

PERSONAL INJURY LAW

Advocating for Accountability, so you can focus on your recovery

An injury can have a lasting, life-altering impact—not only on the individual, but on their entire family. Beyond the physical and emotional toll, it often creates significant financial strain, particularly when the injured person is unable to work or faces long-term disability.

Medical treatment and ongoing care can bring substantial additional costs, including expenses not covered by OHIP, as well as travel, parking, equipment, home modifications, and support services. These financial pressures can quickly become overwhelming.

When an injury is caused by someone else’s negligence, the question becomes clear: should you bear this burden alone, or should those responsible be held accountable?

Injured Person Walking

01

Slip/trip & falls

Ice, snow, water, improperly placed or secured mats, dangerous stairways, and numerous other  conditions can lead to serious injury.

02

Dog bites

Dog owners are absolutely liable for the conduct of their dogs; we as owner have a responsibility to control our dogs and are responsible for the consequences when we fail to control them.

03

Product liability

Far too often, products are defectively designed or manufactured, yet the companies that profit from selling them refuse to accept responsibility for the injuries and losses suffered by consumers.

04

Tavern liability

In Ontario, alcohol vendors have a legal obligation to serve responsibly. Over serving alcohol can have devastating and even tragic consequences for patrons and the public.

05

Assaults

No one has the right to harm another person. Anyone who commits an assault is responsible for the resulting damages, whether the injuries are physical, psychological, or both.

Personal Injury Case Types

ACT NOW:

Legal deadlines are strict—delaying action could jeopardize your right to compensation, so speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.

iMPORTANT Considerations

Notice Requirements

In certain cases, providing formal notice of a claim is mandatory. For example, if an injury occurs on a municipal street or sidewalk, written notice must be given to the municipality within 10 days of the incident. Failing to do so may prevent you from pursuing compensation.

Similarly, if the injury was caused by ice or snow, written notice must generally be provided to the property occupier or independent contractor within 60 days. Missing this deadline can also jeopardize your ability to recover damages.

LIMITATIONS ACT

In Ontario, most personal injury claims are subject to a two year limitation period. This typically means that a court action must be started on or before the second anniversary of the incident. If a claim is not commenced within this timeframe, you may lose the right to seek compensation.

Limitation periods can be complex, and there may be exceptions depending on the specific circumstances of your case. For that reason, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
Because notice requirements and limitation periods can be complicated and strictly enforced, it is strongly recommended that you consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer to protect your rights.

CLASS PROCEEDINGS

Ontario law allows individuals to take legal action as part of a class, representing a group of people with similar claims. We have experience handling a variety of class proceedings and can provide detailed information if you have any questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Most clients prefer contingency fee which means the client pays only if and when there is recovery of compensation.

  • No, you don't have to pay.

  • Maybe, but it depends on various factors.  It is best to seek immediate advice because of the application of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act (WSIB).  We will tell you free of charge if you qualify to pursue compensation outside of WSIB.
