Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a personal injury lawyer after a car accident in Ontario?
You should speak with a personal injury lawyer after a serious car accident if you are injured, missing work, dealing with insurance issues, or unsure what compensation may be available. Pelz Law Group helps injured people protect their rights, accident benefits, and claims for compensation under Ontario law.
How much is my personal injury claim worth in Ontario?
The value of a personal injury claim depends on the severity of the injury, medical evidence, income loss, future care needs, pain and suffering, liability, and long term impact. Pelz Law Group evaluates claims with a focus on both current losses and future consequences.
What compensation can I receive after an accident in Ontario?
Compensation may include accident benefits, medical and rehabilitation expenses, income replacement, loss of earning capacity, attendant care, housekeeping losses, pain and suffering damages, future care costs, and wrongful death benefits for surviving family members.
How long do I have to start a personal injury claim in Ontario?
Most personal injury claims in Ontario are subject to a two year limitation period. Some notice periods and deadlines can be much shorter depending on the type of claim, so legal advice should be obtained as early as possible.
Can I sue after a car accident in Ontario?
In many cases, yes. An injured person may be able to sue the at fault party when the injuries and losses meet Ontario legal requirements. A claim may involve pain and suffering damages, income loss, future care needs, and other accident related losses.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Ontario?
Many personal injury claims are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning legal fees are generally paid only if compensation is recovered through settlement or judgment. Pelz Law Group offers free consultations for personal injury and long term disability claims.
What should I do if my long term disability claim is denied?
Do not assume the denial is final. Review the insurer's reasons, continue medical treatment, gather supporting medical records, avoid missing appeal or limitation deadlines, and speak with a lawyer about your long term disability claim options.
How long do long term disability claims take in Ontario?
The timeline depends on the insurer, medical evidence, policy terms, reason for denial, and whether the claim resolves through negotiation or litigation. Strong medical documentation and early legal guidance can help move the claim forward.
Will I have to go to court for my injury claim?
Many personal injury claims settle before trial, but litigation may be necessary when an insurance company or defendant refuses to offer fair compensation. Pelz Law Group prepares claims strategically so clients are protected throughout the process.
What should I do immediately after a serious accident?
Seek medical attention, report the accident when required, document the scene, collect witness information, keep records of expenses and symptoms, notify your insurer, and speak with a personal injury lawyer before dealing with the insurance process alone.
