Practice areas
What kind of claim do you have?
Not every claim starts with an accident, and different claims follow different paths. Find the situation closest to yours to see how the process works and what to expect.
Car and motor vehicle accidents
Claims against the at-fault driver and their insurer after a car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian or cyclist crash.
Accident benefits
Benefits from your own insurer following a motor vehicle accident, available to you regardless of who caused it.
Catastrophic impairment
Accident benefit claims for the most serious injuries, which unlock significantly higher benefit limits and support.
Long-term disability
Claims against your disability insurer when long-term benefits have been denied, stopped or unfairly cut off.
Slip, trip and fall
Injuries on unsafe or poorly maintained premises, brought against the property owner or occupier responsible.
Medical malpractice
Claims against doctors, hospitals and other health care providers for harm caused by negligent medical care.
Product liability
Claims against manufacturers and distributors for injuries caused by unsafe, defective or poorly labelled products.
Police misconduct
Claims involving excessive force, wrongful arrest or detention, and assault or battery by those in authority.
Assault
Injuries from an assault, brought against the person responsible and any business or institution whose negligence allowed it.
Civil sexual assault
Confidential claims for survivors, handled separately from the criminal process. Ontario sets no limitation period.
After an injury
What to do in the days after an injury
A few early steps help protect both your health and your claim. A short guide:
- Seek medical care right away, even for injuries that seem minor, since some develop over time and early records connect them to what happened.
- Let your own insurer know promptly after a motor vehicle accident, because several of the deadlines that follow are counted in days.
- Write down and photograph what happened while it is fresh, and collect the names and numbers of any witnesses.
- Keep every document, including prescriptions, receipts, and any letters or denial notices from the insurer.
- Take your time before signing or giving a recorded statement, since you are entitled to legal information first.
Our approach
How we handle a case
We prepare every file properly from the start, deal with the insurers, and keep you informed in plain language. You focus on your recovery while we handle the rest.
First conversation. Free and without obligation. We listen, ask questions, and tell you honestly whether we think you have a claim worth pursuing.
Opening the file. We handle the notices and applications and take the insurer correspondence off your plate.
Building the evidence. We work with your treating doctors and, where a case calls for it, retain qualified specialists to document your injuries and losses.
Advancing your claim. We move your case forward on every track that applies, keeping the deadlines and the strategy aligned.
Resolution. Most claims settle. We prepare every file as though it will go to trial, so the case is ready if a fair settlement is not offered.
Staying in touch. You will have a clear point of contact, plain-language updates, and your calls returned.
Why us
The informed choice for personal injury claims
Between the firms that advertise heavily and the ones that route you to a case manager, it can be hard to know who will actually handle your case. With us, the answer is straightforward: the lawyer you first speak with is the lawyer who sees your file through to resolution.
We take the time to understand what happened, explain your options in plain language, and build the case carefully instead of pushing for a fast settlement. Recovery matters just as much, so we work with your treating doctors and rehabilitation partners in the community while we take care of the legal side.
Working with us
Meeting with us in Burlington
We meet clients across Burlington, in person in the area, by phone or video, and at home or in hospital when an injury makes travelling difficult. From Aldershot and downtown along the lake to the neighbourhoods near the QEW and Highway 403, getting started is usually a phone call.
Burlington is part of Halton Region, which has its judicial seat in Milton. Civil personal injury cases for Halton are generally heard through the Superior Court of Justice at the Milton courthouse rather than in Burlington itself. If your injury required hospital care or ongoing rehabilitation, we can coordinate with your treating providers as we build the claim.
One local point worth noting: if your injury involved a poorly maintained road or sidewalk owned by the City of Burlington or Halton Region, a short written-notice deadline can apply, separate from the general limitation period. It is easy to overlook, which is another reason to get advice early.
FAQ
Common questions
Do I need to travel to meet you?
Not necessarily. We meet clients in Burlington in person, and we also offer phone and video consultations and home or hospital visits when travelling is difficult. Call (416) 477-5956 to arrange whatever works best for you.
Do I have a case?
It depends on whether someone else's negligence caused your injury, and on how serious the injury is. The only reliable way to find out is to have someone review the facts, and that review is free.
What will it cost to hire you?
The first consultation is free. After that we work on a contingency-fee basis, so you do not pay legal fees unless your claim succeeds. The percentage is agreed in writing before we begin, and the agreement also explains how disbursements are handled.
Is there a time limit on making a claim?
Yes. Ontario sets time limits on injury claims, and a few of them are much shorter than the general rule, some counted in days. The limit depends on the type of claim and your dates, so it is best to ask early.
