Personal Injury lawyers across CanadaIn most cases a court claim can't be filed more than two years after the incident. Some deadlines are far shorter — the City of Toronto, for example, requires notice within 10 days of an incident on a road or sidewalk, and other municipalities have short notice rules too. A lawyer can confirm the dates that apply to you.
Get medical care and report the accident. Tell your insurance agent, broker or company within seven days, whoever was at fault, and return the accident benefits forms as quickly as you can — the forms set the deadlines. A lawsuit against an at-fault driver is separate from your accident benefits claim.
To the Licence Appeal Tribunal, which resolves disputes about a person's entitlement to, or the amount of, statutory accident benefits. Lawsuits for pain and suffering and other losses go to the Superior Court of Justice, or to Small Claims Court for claims up to $50,000.
Many work on a contingency fee, meaning the fee is a share of what you recover. Ask for the agreement in writing, check what percentage applies and who pays expenses, and compare more than one firm before you sign.
