Crash victims should not assume it is too late to contact a lawyer, even if it is. It costs nothing to meet with one of our trusted lawyers in a free consultation.
When crash victims make assumptions about their rights and legal options, they may end up leaving compensation on the table by not filing a claim or by accepting a lowball offer from the insurance company.
It is often a good idea to file a claim within 90 days of the accident. However, even if it is getting close to 90 days, our firm may be able to help.
That said, there is a deadline of two years set by the Ontario Limitations Act. If you are approaching two years since the accident, it may be too late to file. Even so, you should contact a lawyer to see if he or she can help you. At Greg Monforton & Partners, we have extensive knowledge of the law and possible exceptions to the two-year deadline.
However, it takes time to build a case. The longer you wait to call a lawyer, the less time he or she gets to build your case. You want to give your lawyer as much time as possible so he or she can take all the steps needed to pursue the compensation you need.
