Personal injury lawyers in Mississauga

Maks Law Firm helps people injured in Ontario — in car accidents, slips and falls and other incidents — claim the accident benefits they are entitled to and pursue compensation from those responsible and their insurers.

Which injury claims do we handle?

  • Motor vehicle accidents — drivers, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists
  • Accident benefits claims and disputes with your own insurer
  • Slip-and-fall and other occupiers’ liability claims
  • Insurance claim denials and disputes
  • Workplace injury (WSIB) matters

What should I do after a car accident in Ontario?

  • Get medical attention and follow your treatment plan
  • Report the accident to police where required
  • Notify your own auto insurer promptly — accident benefits have short notice deadlines
  • Keep records: photos, receipts, missed work and how the injuries affect daily life
  • Speak to a lawyer before giving recorded statements or signing a release

How long do I have to make an injury claim?

For most injury lawsuits in Ontario, the basic limitation period under the Limitations Act, 2002 is two years, and some claims require written notice much sooner — for example, claims involving a municipality. Accident benefits from your own insurer have their own short deadlines. Because medical evidence takes time to gather, early advice protects your claim.

Hurt at work?

Most workplace injuries in Ontario are compensated through the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) rather than a lawsuit against the employer. We can advise you on which route applies to you.

FAQ

Personal Injury questions

General information about Ontario law, not legal advice for your situation.

Who pays my medical bills after a car accident?

In Ontario, your own auto insurer pays statutory accident benefits — such as medical, rehabilitation and income replacement benefits — regardless of who caused the accident. A separate lawsuit against an at-fault driver may be possible for losses beyond those benefits, subject to legal thresholds.

Do I have to go to court?

Many injury claims settle through negotiation or mediation. If the insurer won’t make a fair offer, the claim is pursued in court through our civil litigation practice.

How long do I have to sue for an injury?

Usually two years from the date of the injury or when you discovered the claim, but some cases have earlier notice requirements. Don’t wait to get advice.
