FAQs – Auto Accident Claims in Ontario

Yes — hiring an experienced car accident lawyer significantly increases your chances of receiving the full compensation you deserve. Insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts. A skilled auto accident lawyer, like the team at Merricks Law, knows how to fight back and protect your rights.

At Merricks Law, we work on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t pay any legal fees unless we win your case. We also offer a free initial consultation to assess your claim and explain your legal options — no strings attached.

Here’s what you should do after any auto accident:

Ensure safety and call 911 if needed
Exchange information with all drivers involved
Take photos of the scene and your injuries
Get medical attention
Contact an experienced car accident lawyer as soon as possible

Early legal guidance can protect your claim and ensure vital evidence is preserved.

In most cases, you have 2 years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Ontario. If the accident involved a municipal vehicle or the Ministry of Transportation (like a TTC bus), you must provide a Notice of Claim within 10 days. Don’t wait — reach out to a personal injury lawyer immediately.

You may be entitled to compensation for:

Medical expenses & rehab costs
Lost income or inability to work
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Long-term care or disability

An auto accident lawyer from Merricks Law can assess your damages and pursue the maximum settlement available.

Ontario follows a contributory negligence system, which means you can still receive compensation even if you were partly at fault. However, your award may be reduced based on your level of responsibility. A skilled car accident lawyer can help reduce your share of fault and maximize your claim.

The timeline varies. Some cases settle within a few months, while others—especially more complex or severe injury cases—may take a year or longer. Merricks Law aims to resolve your case as efficiently as possible without compromising the value of your compensation.

Yes. In Ontario, accident benefits (like income replacement and medical coverage) are available through your auto insurance, regardless of fault. An auto accident lawyer can help you file your claim and ensure you receive every benefit you’re entitled to.

If you were injured in an auto accident and don’t have car insurance, your options depend on the circumstances of the crash. In Ontario, being uninsured can limit or completely bar your right to sue for compensation, even if the other driver was at fault.

However, there may still be legal avenues available — for example, if you were a passenger in someone else’s vehicle or if another party was clearly negligent. An experienced auto accident lawyer at Merricks Law can assess your unique case and advise you on next steps.

Don’t assume you’re out of options — contact us ot discuss your case.
