Sokoloff Lawyers: Your Legal Partner For Success And Security

You should not wait. There are many laws respecting the time limits you may have to start a claim. Claiming accident benefits and investigating how an accident happened are all critical to your claim. Call and talk to us at Sokoloff Lawyers to discuss what your time limits are and how to take the next step.

On some claims there is a cap. The cap on claims for pain and suffering approached $390,000 in 2019. This head of damage is indexed to the rate of inflation. There is no other cap to any other head of damage, however, a statutory deductible or deductions of collateral benefits may apply in specific cases. Moreover, there may be an issue of policy limits. This doesn’t necessarily limit what you can claim but can impact what you can recover. It is best to speak with a personal injury lawyer in order to maximize your claims. Every claim is unique.

The legal process is started when a Statement of Claim is issued in an Ontario court. However, you should consult with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible if you or a family member is injured in an accident. There may be notice requirements and limitation period issues that need to be addressed.

Personal injury lawyers understand that when you’re injured, you may be unable to work and your family may be experiencing considerable financial stress. That’s why personal injury lawyers almost always work on a contingency basis. This means that they don’t get paid until you receive a settlement or judgment. They, typically, do not ask for up-front fees or send you a monthly bill. Instead, they receive a percentage of your settlement or judgment. This allows injured victims an access to justice. They can pursue their claims without worrying about receiving a hefty lawyer’s bill.
