Frequently asked questions
During your consultation, a lawyer will review the details of your accident, explain your legal options, discuss potential compensation, and answer your questions. The consultation is confidential and comes with no obligation to hire the firm.
No. Many car accident lawyers, including Kamyab Law, work on a contingency fee basis. This means you do not pay legal fees unless your case is successfully resolved.
In most cases, strict legal deadlines apply to car accident compensation claims in Ontario. Missing these deadlines may affect your right to pursue compensation. Because limitation periods can vary depending on the type of claim and the circumstances of the accident, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
There is no standard settlement amount for whiplash injuries in Ontario. Compensation depends on the severity of the injury, recovery time, medical treatment, income loss, and whether the injury has long-term effects. More serious or permanent injuries generally result in higher compensation than minor soft tissue injuries.
Ontario applies a statutory deductible to many pain and suffering awards in motor vehicle accident cases. However, the deductible may not apply if the damages awarded exceed the threshold set under Ontario law. Since deductible amounts are updated periodically, it is important to rely on the current limits when evaluating a claim.
Yes. If you develop psychological conditions such as anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) because of a motor vehicle accident, you may be eligible for compensation. Medical evidence linking the condition to the accident is usually required to support your claim.
Pain and suffering compensation is based on factors such as the seriousness of your injuries, the impact on your quality of life, the length of your recovery, and previous court decisions in similar cases. In many situations, a statutory deductible may apply before damages are awarded, depending on the circumstances of your claim.
The amount of compensation depends on the severity of your injuries and how they affect your daily life. In addition to Accident Benefits, you may be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, lost income, future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and other financial losses. Every case is unique, and there is no fixed settlement amount.
Insurance companies usually determine fault by applying Ontario’s Fault Determination Rules and reviewing evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and photographs. Fault determinations may be challenged if new evidence becomes available.
Not necessarily. A 50/50 fault determination may reduce the compensation available in a lawsuit, but accident benefits may still be available regardless of fault.
Yes. Being partially at fault does not automatically prevent you from bringing a personal injury claim. Your compensation may simply be reduced according to your share of responsibility.
If both drivers share responsibility, each person’s compensation in a tort claim may be reduced according to their percentage of fault. However, eligibility for accident benefits is generally not affected by fault.
Yes. Ontario law recognizes that more than one driver may contribute to a collision. In these situations, fault may be divided between the parties based on the available evidence and the Fault Determination Rules.
Yes. In some cases, fault may be split evenly (equally suggests 50/50), depending on how the accident occurred.
Insurance consequences may depend on your policy, driving history, and the degree of fault assigned. This is typically handled separately from your injury claim.
Yes. Being partially at fault does not automatically prevent you from making a claim. Your compensation may be reduced, but you may still be eligible.
Yes. We offer free initial consultations so you can understand your legal options before making any decisions. There is no obligation to proceed with your claim.
Yes. Many individuals injured in motor vehicle accidents may qualify for Statutory Accident Benefits regardless of who caused the accident. Eligibility depends on the circumstances of the collision and the available insurance coverage.
Medical records, accident reports, photographs, witness statements, and documentation of financial losses can all help support your claim. Every case is different, and additional evidence may be required.
In many cases, Ontario’s limitation period is two years from the date of the injury. However, exceptions may apply depending on the circumstances, so it’s important to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
A personal injury claim is a legal process that allows an injured person to seek compensation when another party’s negligence caused their injuries. Compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, rehabilitation costs, and pain and suffering.
Many personal injury claims are resolved through negotiation or settlement. However, each case is different, and some may proceed to litigation.
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning legal fees are typically only payable if your claim is successful.
In many cases, legal guidance can help you understand your rights, deal with insurance companies, and pursue fair compensation. Each case depends on its specific facts.
If there is no written agreement, disputes are typically resolved based on Ontario partnership laws. This can make cases more complex, which is why legal guidance is strongly recommended.
Partnership disputes can be resolved through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation. The best approach depends on the nature of the conflict and the relationship between partners.
Yes, you may be able to take legal action against your business partner if they have breached an agreement, acted negligently, or caused financial harm. A lawyer can assess your situation and guide you through the process.
You should contact a partnership dispute lawyer as soon as conflicts begin to escalate or affect your business. Early legal advice can help prevent further damage and protect your rights.
A partnership dispute occurs when business partners disagree on key issues such as finances, responsibilities, profit distribution, or the direction of the business. These disputes can disrupt operations and may require legal intervention to resolve.
If your critical illness claim is denied, you may still have options. The denial should be carefully reviewed to determine whether the insurance company applied the policy correctly. In some cases, the decision can be appealed or challenged through negotiation or legal action. Consulting with a lawyer can help you understand your rights and determine the best course of action to recover the compensation you may be entitled to.
Most critical illness insurance policies cover serious medical conditions that significantly impact a person’s life. Common covered illnesses often include heart attack, stroke, cancer, multiple sclerosis, paralysis, Alzheimer’s disease, blindness, and coma. However, the exact illnesses and medical definitions depend on the terms of the specific insurance policy.
Yes. A lawyer can review your insurance policy, the medical evidence, and the insurer’s reason for denying your claim. In many cases, insurance companies deny claims based on strict policy interpretations or incomplete documentation. A critical illness insurance lawyer can challenge the denial, negotiate with the insurer, and, if necessary, pursue legal action to recover the benefits owed under the policy.
Yes. Certain exceptions may apply depending on the circumstances.
For example:
If the injured person is a minor, the limitation period may not begin until they turn 18.
If the injured person is mentally incapable of managing their legal affairs, the clock may be paused.
In some cases, the limitation period may begin when the injury was reasonably discovered, not necessarily on the exact date of the accident.
Because these exceptions are fact-specific and legally complex, professional legal advice is strongly recommended.
If you miss the applicable limitation period, your claim may be permanently barred. This means you could lose your right to pursue compensation through the courts.
Courts strictly enforce limitation deadlines in most cases. Once the time limit expires, the defendant can request that the case be dismissed, even if your injuries are serious.
Early legal consultation can help ensure that important deadlines are not missed.
In most cases, you have 2 years from the date of the accident to start a personal injury lawsuit in Ontario. This time limit is set by the Limitations Act, 2002.
However, some claims may require earlier notice. For example, claims involving municipalities often require written notice within 10 days of the incident. Because limitation periods can vary depending on the circumstances, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
Not always. Many disputes are resolved through negotiation or mediation, but litigation may be necessary in certain cases.
The seller may have the right to retain the deposit and pursue additional damages, subject to legal analysis.
Yes, depending on the circumstances, you may be entitled to damages if the other party breaches the Agreement of Purchase and Sale.
You should avoid accepting a settlement before reviewing your policy and repair estimates carefully. Legal review may help recover additional compensation.
Yes, insurers often deny claims based on exclusions or causation arguments. However, these decisions are not always final and may be legally challenged.
Coverage depends on the cause of the mold. Sudden and accidental water damage is more likely to be covered, while gradual moisture buildup may be excluded. Policy wording is critical.
Determining liability requires reviewing the policy, communications, and advice given. A lawyer can assess whether the broker’s conduct fell below the required professional standard.
An errors and omissions (E&O) claim arises when an insurance professional fails to meet the standard of care expected in arranging or advising on coverage.
Yes, in certain circumstances. If a broker’s negligence or misrepresentation caused you to be improperly insured, you may have a valid claim. Each situation requires detailed legal review.
You should avoid accepting a low settlement without review. A fire insurance claim lawyer can assess whether the insurer’s valuation is fair and whether additional compensation may be available.
Yes. Insurers may deny claims based on policy exclusions, alleged misrepresentation, or disputes about the cause of the fire. However, many denials can be legally challenged.
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the loss and the insurer’s investigation. Some claims resolve within a few months, while disputed claims may take longer.
Yes. Limitation periods apply and missing them can permanently affect your rights (confirm exact timeline with lawyer). It is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible after a denial.
Yes. If a claim has been wrongfully denied or handled in bad faith, beneficiaries may have the right to bring legal action against the insurer. The appropriate strategy depends on the specific facts of the case.
Do not assume the denial is final. Many denied claims can be successfully challenged. You should request the written denial letter, gather the policy documents, and consult a life insurance claim lawyer to review your options.
Most straightforward life insurance claims are processed within a few weeks to a few months. However, if the insurer launches an investigation or disputes the claim, the process can take significantly longer. Speaking with a lawyer early can help prevent unnecessary delays.
Most car accident cases settle outside of court through negotiation with insurance companies. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, filing a lawsuit may be necessary. Our team prepares every case as if it could proceed to trial, which strengthens your position during negotiations.
Accident Benefits (also called a “no-fault claim”) are provided through your own insurance company, regardless of who caused the accident. These benefits cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, and partial income replacement.
A tort claim, on the other hand, is a lawsuit against the at-fault party. It allows you to claim additional compensation such as pain and suffering, full income loss, and future damages. Many cases involve both types of claims handled together.
In Ontario, strict deadlines apply to car accident claims.
You generally have 7 days to notify your insurance company of the accident and 30 days to submit an Accident Benefits application. For a tort claim (lawsuit), you typically have 2 years from the date of the accident to start legal proceedings. Missing these deadlines can significantly affect your right to compensation, so it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible.

Compensation depends on injury severity, long-term impact, and financial losses.
First, make sure everyone is safe and call emergency services if needed. Gather information such as driver details, photos of the scene, and witness contacts. Even if injuries seem minor, seek medical attention right away. Then, contact a personal injury lawyer before speaking with your insurance company, so your rights are fully protected and you don’t risk settling for less than you deserve.

In Ontario, strict time limits apply to personal injury claims. In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to start a lawsuit. However, certain situations, such as claims involving municipalities or government entities, may require much earlier notice. Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your right to compensation, which is why speaking with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible is critical.
What Is the Standard Limitation Period in Ontario?
In most personal injury cases in Ontario, the Limitations Act provides a two-year window from the date you discovered your injury to file a lawsuit. This applies to many types of accidents, including:
- Car accidents
- Slip and fall incidents
- Dog bites
- General negligence claims
Failing to start your claim within this period usually means losing your legal right to pursue compensation.
What Happens If You Miss the Deadline?
If you miss the limitation period, you may lose your legal right to pursue compensation, even if your claim is otherwise valid.
Important Exception: Claims Against Municipalities
If your injury involves a municipality (for example, a slip and fall on city property), you may be required to provide written notice within 10 days of the incident.
However:
- exceptions sometimes apply
- courts may extend deadlines in limited circumstances
- legal advice is strongly recommended
Does the Deadline Differ for Car Accident Claims?
Yes, motor vehicle accidents in Ontario can involve multiple deadlines, including:
- Accident Benefits application timelines
- Tort lawsuit limitation period
- Notice requirements in certain cases
Because these timelines can overlap, many accident victims unintentionally miss important steps.
Taking the right steps early can impact your claim, which is why understanding what to do after a car accident in Ontario is important.
When Should You Speak With a Lawyer?
Ideally, you should speak with a personal injury lawyer:
- as soon as possible after the accident
- before speaking extensively with insurers
- well before any limitation deadline approaches
Early legal guidance helps protect evidence and preserves your right to full compensation.
The value of your case may also depend on how your claim is handled, and understanding how much compensation you can get after an accident can provide useful context.
