1. Motor Vehicle Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injury claims in Ontario. Victims may seek compensation for:

• Medical expenses

• Lost wages

• Pain and suffering

Ontario’s No-Fault Insurance system ensures access to accident benefits, regardless of who was responsible for the collision.

2. Slip-and-Fall Accidents

Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. Common hazards include:

• Icy or unmaintained sidewalks

• Uneven flooring or cracked pavement

• Slippery store surfaces due to spills

If negligence is proven, victims may receive compensation for their injuries.

3. Medical Malpractice

When healthcare providers fail to meet the standard of care, patients can suffer severe consequences. Examples include:

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis

• Surgical errors

• Birth-related injuries

These cases require strong medical evidence and expert testimony.

4. Workplace Accidents

If you're injured on the job, you may be entitled to compensation through the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB). However, for non-covered industries, workers may file lawsuits against their employers for unsafe work conditions.

5. Product Liability

Manufacturers and sellers are responsible for ensuring product safety. Common product liability claims involve:

• Defective medical devices

• Faulty electronics causing injuries

• Dangerous food or drug contamination

Victims can hold companies accountable for selling hazardous products.
