The amount of time you have to file your claim in Toronto civil court is known as the statute of limitations. Ontario’s statute of limitations extends for two years following the date of the accident.
If your injuries were not discovered until a later date, the statute of limitations would expire two years from the date of your diagnosis. It is very important that your lawsuit is filed before this deadline, as your case is likely to be dismissed if you attempt to file once the statute of limitations has already run out.
