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, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years from the date of the accident. However, certain cases—such as those involving municipalities—may require notice within just 10 days. Because deadlines can vary, it’s important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to ensure your claim is not barred by limitation periods.

While you can file a claim on your own, insurance companies often delay or deny legitimate disability benefits. A lawyer helps gather the right medical evidence, challenges unfair denials, and negotiates on your behalf. Having legal support increases your chances of receiving the full benefits you’re entitled to, without unnecessary stress.
