Five quick questions. We'll call you back to talk it through — and if you don't have a claim, we'll tell you that too.

Collisions, rear-enders, multi-vehicle crashes and hit-and-runs.
Slip, trip and fall

Struck in a crosswalk, a bike lane, or a parking lot.
Serious and catastrophic injuries
Brain and spinal injuries, fractures, long-term impairment.

We take it from here
If we act for you, we deal with the insurer, the paperwork and the deadlines while you recover.
Ontario deadlines come faster than people expect
Most people know about the two-year limit. Fewer know that some notice periods are measured in days, and that missing one can quietly close a door. These are the general rules — exceptions apply, which is exactly why a free review early costs you nothing and can save the claim.
Check my deadlines for freeAccident benefits: about 7 days
After an Ontario car accident you can claim accident benefits from your own insurer regardless of who was at fault. Notice is generally due within 7 days, and the completed application within 30 days of receiving the forms.
Ice and snow falls: 60 days
For a fall caused by snow or ice on private property, written notice to the occupier or contractor is generally required within 60 days.
City or municipal property: 10 days
A fall on a municipal sidewalk or road generally requires written notice to the municipality within 10 days.
Court claim: usually 2 years
Most Ontario injury claims must be started within two years. Some situations extend or shorten that, and the rules differ for minors, so it is worth asking early rather than assuming.
Questions people ask us first
How long do I have to make a claim in Ontario?
Most Ontario injury claims have a two-year limitation period, but several notice deadlines land much sooner: generally 7 days to notify your auto insurer of an accident, 60 days for a snow or ice fall on private property, and 10 days for a fall on municipal property. Exceptions exist, and the rules are different for minors, so the safest step is a quick free review rather than a guess.
What if the accident was partly my fault?
You may still have a claim. Ontario law allows compensation to be reduced by your share of responsibility rather than cancelled outright, and accident benefits from your own insurer are generally available regardless of who was at fault. Whether a claim makes sense depends on the facts, which is what the free review is for.
What does it cost to talk to you?
The first case review is free and there is no obligation. Personal injury claims are commonly handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning legal fees are tied to a recovery. What applies to your case is set out in a written agreement, explained to you before you sign anything.
The insurance adjuster already called me. Should I just deal with them?
You can, but it helps to know what you are agreeing to first. An adjuster works for the insurer, and early offers or recorded statements can affect what you receive later. Nothing stops you from getting a free second opinion before you settle or sign.
