In Ontario, there are a number of time restrictions on your right to a lawsuit. If you do not make a claim within the time limit, you may lose your right to pursue legal action for that claim. In general, you have two years to make a claim from the date of the incident. Depending on the specific factors of your incident, this time frame may be extended. In cases that involve the city or municipality, the time frame can be as short as 10 days. We recommend that you contact our personal injury lawyers in Ottawa immediately after an incident to protect your legal rights.
