A North York Firm, For North York Drivers

Kanevsky Law is based at 4580 Dufferin Street — inside North York, not downtown. That matters more than it sounds. We know the 401 collision-reporting process, the local hospitals, and the intersections where these crashes keep happening, because we drive them every day.

North York contains the busiest stretch of Highway 401 in North America, plus the Allen Road corridor, the northern DVP, and the perpetually congested Yonge Street spine. Between them they produce thousands of injury collisions a year.

Your Two Parallel Claims

Every Ontario crash triggers a no-fault Accident Benefits (SABS) claim against your own insurer and a potential tort claim against the at-fault driver. Missing the SABS deadlines (7-day notice, 30-day application) can cost you medical coverage and income replacement. See our post-accident checklist.

North York Hospitals & Trauma Care

  • Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre — the region's major trauma centre
  • North York General Hospital
  • Humber River Hospital
  • Toronto Rehab Institute — for brain and spinal rehabilitation

Treated at any of these? We can request and review your records as part of your claim. For head injuries, see our North York concussion settlement guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick Answers

Why choose a North York firm over a downtown one?+
Local knowledge and access. Our office is on Dufferin Street, so we can meet quickly — including at home or in hospital for serious injuries — and we know the local hospitals, specialists and courts.
How long do I have to sue after a North York car accident?+
2 years from the crash for a tort lawsuit; 7-day notice and a 30-day application for Accident Benefits. Municipal claims require 120-day notice. Call early.
What if I was hit on the 401?+
Highway collisions are among the most serious we handle. Police reports, traffic-camera data and reconstruction evidence matter enormously — and disappear quickly. Contact us as soon as possible.
Do you offer consultations in Russian or Ukrainian?+
Yes. Olga is fluent in English, Russian and Ukrainian and personally takes every first consultation.
What does it cost to hire you?+
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency and advance all disbursements — you pay only if we win. See our fee comparison.
