You must report your accident to your auto insurance provider within seven days of the accident. You then must submit an Application for Benefits within 30 days of receipt. From there you must notify the negligent driver within 120 days of the incident if you intend to file suit. You have two years to file a lawsuit in a situation like this. By taking prompt action, you can protect your injury claim and avoid running into conflict with filing deadlines.

We help victims of all ages who have suffered serious injury in a slip and fall or trip and fall accident on someone else’s property. These cases are governed by the Ontario Occupier’s Liability Act and require evidence of negligence by an owner or occupier. There is a strong burden of proof required for slip and fall or trip and fall claims, which is why many victims opt to work with a personal injury lawyer on these types of cases. In most cases you generally have up to two years in which to take action after a slip and fall or trip and fall accident. You may have as little as seven days in which to provide notice to a municipality if the accident occurred on public property. Read more on Slip & Fall Accident Injuries.
