Ontario injury law insights

Injury law in Ontario, in plain English and Korean.

Short, practical explainers on how accident claims actually work in this province. What to do after a crash, what the insurer's letter really means, which deadlines are shorter than you think, and when it is worth calling a lawyer. Real questions, real answers, from real client calls, in English and Korean.

Ontario injury law, in short reads

Every post covers one question: accident benefits, notice deadlines, long-term disability denials, dog bites, and how insurers evaluate claims. General information, not legal advice. Reading these does not create a solicitor-client relationship, and every case turns on its own facts. Treat each post as a starting point, then call to talk about your own situation. New posts land as recurring questions come up in consultations, in both English and Korean, and each one stays short enough to read in a few minutes.

Working with an insurer when English is not your first language

How to get your side of the story into the insurance file accurately in Korean, and understand the English claim notes the insurer keeps.

Premises

Dog bites in Ontario: strict owner liability

Ontario's Dog Owners' Liability Act holds the owner responsible even without prior aggression. Report the incident and get medical records early.

Premises

Slipped on city property? The 10-day rule

Snow and ice claims against a municipality require written notice within 10 days. Keep photos, boots, and the exact address from the moment you fall.

Long-term disability

Denied long-term disability: what to check first

The policy definition of disability, the reason given for the denial, and the appeal window. All three shape what you do next.

Deadlines

Notice deadlines in Ontario that catch people out

Some Ontario claims die on a 10-day notice, others on a two-year limitation. Missing either can end a strong case before it begins.

Motor vehicle

The two claims Ontario gives you after a car crash

Two Ontario claims after a car crash: accident benefits from your own insurer, and a tort claim against the at-fault driver. Different rules, different clocks.
