What Is a Personal Injury Claim in Ontario?

A personal injury claim lets you ask for money when someone else's mistake hurts you. This includes car crashes, falls on icy sidewalks, injuries at work, and medical errors. If another person or company caused your injury, you may have a case.

In Ontario, you have two years from the date of your injury to start a lawsuit. This rule comes from theLimitations Act. TheInsurance ActandCanadian tort lawcontrol how most accident claims work. If you miss the deadline, you lose your right to sue — so act fast.

“Every person who suffers damage to person or property by reason of a motor vehicle on a highway is entitled to compensation.”
— Highway Traffic Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 192

What Money Can You Recover After an Accident?

Injured people in Ontario can claim several types of compensation. How much you get depends on injury severity and how it affects your daily life.

  1. Pain and suffering — money for physical pain and loss of quality of life
  2. Medical bills — hospital stays, rehab, therapy, and medications
  3. Lost wages — income you missed while recovering, plus future earning losses
  4. Future care — ongoing treatment, home help, and medical equipment
  5. Family claims — your spouse and kids can claim for their losses too
  6. Household help — if you can no longer cook, clean, or maintain your home

Why Should You Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

People with lawyers get more money. It is that simple. TheDepartment of Justice Canadafound that people with a lawyer get higher payouts than those who handle claims alone. TheLaw Society of Ontarioholds every licensed lawyer to strict rules.

UnderCanadian law, accident victims have clear rights to fair payment. A lawyer guards those rights from day one.

No Upfront Costs
You pay nothing unless we win. Our fee comes out of your settlement — never your pocket.
Expert Case Valuation
Insurers lowball claims. A good lawyer knows the true value of your pain, lost wages, and future care needs.

OUR APPROACH

Why Insurance Companies Take Our Cases Seriously

Insurance companies are sophisticated businesses with one goal: pay as little as possible. Here's how we level the playing field.

We Build Litigation-Ready Files

Every case is prepared as if it's going to trial — independent medical reports, expert opinions, accident reconstruction when needed. Insurers know the difference between a demand letter and a file that's ready for court.

We Anticipate Insurer Tactics

Low first offers, MIG traps, surveillance, and "independent" medical exams designed to minimize your injuries. After 20+ years, we've seen every tactic and know how to counter each one.

We Don't Settle for Less

Most PI firms settle early because trials are expensive. We have the resources and willingness to go to court — and insurers adjust their offers when they know your lawyer won't back down.

We Know What Claims Are Worth

With over $50 million recovered and 1,000+ cases handled, we have deep data on case valuations across every injury type. We don't guess — we calculate.
