Questions
What types of personal injury cases do you handle?
We handle motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, bicycle collisions, product liability cases, and workplace injuries. Our practice also includes disability insurance claims and wrongful death lawsuits.
How are disability insurance claims processed?
We review your policy, challenge denied claims, and negotiate settlements. Our services include evaluating short-term and long-term disability benefits, CPP disability applications, and employment insurance sickness claims.
What should I do after a bicycle accident?
Document the scene, seek medical attention, and contact us immediately. We'll investigate liability, handle insurance claims, and ensure you receive compensation for injuries and property damage under Ontario's Highway Traffic Act.
Is there a time limit for injury claims?
Most personal injury claims have a two-year limitation period from the accident date. Disability insurance claims typically require action within two years of denial. Missing these deadlines may bar your claim.
How are legal fees structured?
We work on a contingency fee basis - you pay no legal fees unless we win your case. Our fees are discussed upfront and comply with Law Society of Upper Canada regulations.
Can I get compensation for slip and fall injuries?
Yes, if hazardous property conditions caused your injury. We help clients recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering by proving property owner negligence.
