To receive statutory accident benefits, you must file a claim within 30 days of the accident. Based on Ontario’s Limitations Act, you have 2 years after the date of the accident to sue someone for property damage or to file a tort claim.  A car accident lawyer Ontario at Verkhovets Law can advise you on additional lawsuits. Gathering evidence, police reports, witness statements, and medical opinions takes time—and 2 years passes very quickly.
