Accident Lawyer

 In Ontario, the law holds the negligent party accountable for causing accidents that result in associated injuries and property damage. If someone hit your car and caused you to suffer injuries, you cannot rely on the insurance companies to look out for your best interests. Instead, leave the protection of your rights and interests to experienced accident lawyers in Ottawa. At Quinn Thiele Mineault Grodzki LLP (QTMG), we advise against handling your accident injury claim without legal assistance. When you hire dedicated personal injury lawyers, you receive legal advice from a knowledgeable team looking out for your interests.

You are of course free to negotiate on your own but there’s no guarantee the insurance companies will offer you fair compensation for your injuries. With help from our accident lawyers, you have a better chance of getting the full amount you deserve. Every possible type of compensation will be considered by our experienced injury and accident lawyers. Our lawyers have access to medical and economic experts to assist in valuating your injuries and the financial value of your case.

What Is An Accident Lawyer?

In most cases, in Ontario, victims have about two years to take action against the driver who caused the accident. In some cases, the limitation period is less, and you should consult a lawyer to determine what the application limitation period applies to your case. However, it’s important to recognize that the Limitations Act in Ontario is not the only limitation. For example:

  • You have 30 days to file an application for accident benefits.
  • Insurance companies only give you 10 days to supply your medical records.
  • You may also need an updated Disability Certificate within 30 days.

Work with our experienced and dedicated team of successful accident lawyers to ensure your insurer doesn’t cut off your benefits.

Privacy Rights in Ontario – Can I Sue for Breach of Privacy?

  Ontario does not have any privacy legislation that is applicable to the private sector. However, the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) applies to private sector organizations that are not federally regulated, as well as federally-regulated organizations, in respect of personal information that the organization collects, uses or discloses in the course of commercial activities. “Personal information” is defined as information about an identifiable individual. Ontario has not codified a statutory tort of invasion of privacy as has been done in some other provinces (see Jones v. Tsige, 2012 ONCA 32 (CanLII), paras. 51-53). Also, there isn’t a broad common law tort of “invasion of privacy” in Canada.

Tsige, the first decision to recognize the tort of intrusion upon seclusion, the Court of Appeal explained

What many people may be unfamiliar with are notice periods. Exactly how it sounds, a “notice period” refers to a period of time during which an injured victim must notify an at-fault party about a potential claim. If you have a slip and fall on ice accident, it’s important to keep this notice period in mind. What’s the Significance of the Notice Period in a Personal Injury Involving Slip and Fall on Ice?
