In most cases, personal injury lawyers in Toronto have two years from the date of loss or injury to file a claim, however there are exceptions.
Slip and fall claims have 60 days to file, unless the accident occurs on Municipal property in which case, your lawyer will have up to 10 days. For accident benefits, plaintiffs have seven days to notify their insurance company and 30 days to complete and submit their accident benefits application.
These time limitations are outlined in the province’s Limitations Act 2002, which includes civil action and ensures a case is brought in a timely manner, avoiding inaccessible or lost evidence or misremembered testimonies.
