Why You Need a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents We Handle:

Ontario Helmet Laws and Fault in Motorcycle Cases

In Ontario, wearing a helmet is mandatory. Failing to wear one can affect your claim — but it doesn’t automatically prevent you from recovering damages. If you were injured in a crash and not wearing a helmet, our experienced motorcycle attorneys can still fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

Know Your Rights After a Crash

If you were involved in a motorcycle accident, here’s what to do:

Get medical help immediately
Report the accident to police
Document everything (photos, witness info, etc.)
Don’t speak to the insurance company before calling a motorcycle accident lawyer

Time is critical.

You have 2 years to file a claim in most cases — less if a municipality is involved.

FAQ: Motorcycle Accident Claims in Ontario

You may be entitled to damages for medical bills, lost income, rehab costs, pain and suffering, and long-term disability. Our Ontario motorcycle accident lawyers pursue both monetary and non-monetary compensation to reflect the full scope of your losses.

Even if a driver claims they "didn't see you," that does not remove their responsibility. Blind spot accidents and lane changes without checking are common causes of motorcycle crashes — and the fault often lies with the driver. Our attorneys for motorcycle accidents will build a strong case to prove negligence.

Yes, but it can affect your compensation. While wearing a helmet is legally required, not wearing one doesn’t automatically disqualify your case. An experienced motorcycle injury attorney can assess how helmet use may impact your claim and fight for the best possible outcome.

Generally, you have 2 years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. If the crash involved a government vehicle (like a city bus or police cruiser), you must file a Notice of Claim within 10 days. Act fast — delays can hurt your case.

We combine over 30 years of personal injury experience with a deep understanding of the unique challenges motorcyclists face. Our team fights aggressively, responds quickly, and operates on a no-win, no-fee basis. You're never just a file number to us — you're a person who deserves justice.
