Car accidents, slip-and-fall accidents. There are some unanticipated events that disrupt lives on a daily basis. Who will cover the mounting medical bills? How do you handle time away from work? Most importantly, what comes next?
This is where an experienced personal injury lawyer can help. They help people who’ve been hurt—physically, emotionally, or financially—because someone else was careless. Personal injury lawyers navigate the legal system and seek compensation so you don’t have to.
Here’s some perspective: in Ontario in 2022/2023, there were 104,461 general civil court cases initiated. Of those, 12,096 stemmed from personal injury claims relating to motor vehicles, and another 10,565 stemming from malpractice, defamation, negligence, and other tort claims.

Personal injury law is all about accountability and holding people (or organizations) responsible when they cause harm.
In Ontario, this area of law covers a wide range of situations. It exists to help injured victims recover damages. These damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, and even compensation for pain and suffering.
