Personal Injury
Steady counsel when life changes in an instant.
If you’ve been injured, there may be benefits and compensation available to help you cope - medical and rehabilitation support, income replacement, care costs, and damages for pain and suffering, among other losses.
Clear, strategic personal injury representation for individuals and families across central east Ontario and beyond.
Built for the moment you didn’t plan for
An injury can impact everything at once: your health, your work, your independence, and your family’s day-to-day life. The legal and insurance process can feel like a second problem layered on top of the first.
We help you understand what you’re entitled to, what steps matter most right now, and how to protect your position as your recovery unfolds - always with clear communication, disciplined preparation, and real follow-through.

Important timelines
In personal injury matters, deadlines can affect your ability to receive benefits or pursue fair compensation. Getting advice early helps protect your rights.
Common examples include:
Notifying your insurer of a motor vehicle accident within 7 days
Submitting an accident benefits application within required timelines (often tied to receiving claim forms)
Providing notice of a potential lawsuit in a vehicle accident within 120 days in certain circumstances
Limitation periods that are often 2 years from the date of injury (with variations depending on the claim type)
Snow/ice claims that may require written notice within 60 days
Claims involving municipalities or road authorities that may require notice in 10 days or less
If you miss a notice requirement or limitation period, you may lose your right to pursue the claim. Contact us as soon as possible so we can assess what applies and act quickly.
Connecting clients with our community
We’re rooted in Kawartha Lakes, and that matters in recovery. We can help coordinate care and connect you with local practitioners and services that support rehabilitation and long-term planning - such as occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, and case managers.
We stay actively involved with your treatment team so we understand your needs and can pursue the right resources to support your recovery. We practise here with care for the people and place we serve.
No legal fees until we settle or win
We understand the financial pressure that can follow a serious injury. Personal injury services are available on a contingency fee basis - meaning you do not pay legal fees unless we recover compensation for you.
-
Our standard contingency fee is 1/3 (33.33%)
-
This is the maximum we will charge for legal fees relating to your personal injury case
You can obtain more information about contingency fees through the Law Society of Ontario.

Strategic across the forest and the trees.
We look at the big picture and the details that matter. Legal decisions rarely live in one lane.
Creative rigor without unnecessary complexity.
Smart problem-solving grounded in deep experience, without the ego or the jargon.
