Ontario Personal Injury Claim Questions

Injury Claims & Compensation
How much is my personal injury claim worth in Ontario?
There is no fixed formula. Case value depends on the severity of your injuries, the strength of the medical evidence, how much income you have lost, and the long-term impact on your daily life. At Pelz Law Group, we build each case around detailed medical and financial evidence to pursue the strongest possible settlement.
What compensation can I recover after a serious accident?
Depending on your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation for medical and rehabilitation costs, lost income, future loss of earning capacity, attendant care, and pain and suffering. Serious cases can also involve long-term disability benefits and future care costs that require careful projection.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Ontario?
Most personal injury claims in Ontario must be started within two years of the accident, but notice periods for certain claims can be far shorter. The safest approach is to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible so your rights are protected and evidence is preserved.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partly at fault for the accident?
Yes. Ontario follows a shared fault system, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you bear some responsibility for the accident. Your settlement is adjusted based on the degree of fault, which makes an early liability review essential.
Does Pelz Law Group charge legal fees upfront?
No. We offer a free initial consultation, and most personal injury and disability cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning there are no legal fees unless we recover compensation for you.
How long does a personal injury claim typically take to resolve?
Timelines vary based on the severity of the injury, how long treatment continues, and whether liability or insurance coverage is disputed. Straightforward claims can resolve within months, while serious or catastrophic injury cases often take longer because the full extent of future losses must be understood before settling.
Serious Injury, Disability & Wrongful Death
What qualifies as a catastrophic injury under Ontario law?
Ontario's insurance system defines catastrophic impairment to include injuries such as severe brain trauma, spinal cord damage, amputation, and total vision loss. A catastrophic designation can significantly increase the benefits and compensation available, which is why a proper medical assessment is critical. Learn more about catastrophic injury claims.
What can I do if my long-term disability claim is denied?
Do not treat a denial as final. Continue treatment with your doctors, request the insurer's reasons in writing, and avoid signing any release before speaking with a lawyer. We regularly help clients appeal denied or terminated long-term disability benefits.
What compensation is available in a wrongful death claim?
Surviving family members may be able to recover funeral costs, loss of financial support, and compensation for the loss of a loved one's care and guidance. Ontario law allows spouses, children, and parents to bring a claim depending on the circumstances. Read more about wrongful death claims.
Can a concussion or brain injury support a compensation claim?
Yes. Even a mild traumatic brain injury can cause lasting problems with memory, concentration, and mood that affect your ability to work and function day to day. These claims depend heavily on specialist medical evidence documenting how your symptoms have changed over time. See how we handle brain injury claims.
What compensation can I recover after a spinal cord injury?
Spinal cord injuries often involve significant future costs, including ongoing medical care, mobility equipment, home modifications, and attendant care. We work with medical and rehabilitation experts to project these future needs accurately, so nothing is left off the table. Learn more about spinal cord injury claims.
Can I claim compensation as a cyclist or e-bike rider hit by a car?
Yes. Injured cyclists and e-bike riders have the same right to compensation as any other accident victim, whether the collision was caused by a negligent driver, an unsafe road, or poor visibility at an intersection. See how we help with cyclist accident claims.
