What your Korean personal injury lawyer handles
When you have been hurt, the last thing you need is to fight the insurance company in a second language. Explain what happened in Korean. Ask your questions in Korean. Have every form and letter walked through in Korean.
James Moon was called to the Ontario Bar in 2022 and is a Notary Public in Ontario. He started his career defending insurance companies in downtown Toronto, so he has seen how adjusters value claims from the inside. He now uses that knowledge for the injured side, and he does it in your language.
James is a sole practitioner. The lawyer you speak with on the first call is the lawyer who handles your file. You are not passed to a junior or a paralegal halfway through.
Questions
Common questions, answered.
General information, not legal advice. Contact James to find out what applies to your situation.
Can I run my entire case in Korean?
Yes. James is fluent in Korean and English. Your first call, your meetings, and the explanation of every document can all be in Korean. You do not need a family member to interpret. Court filings and insurer forms are written in English, but James walks you through each one in Korean before you sign.
How long do I have to make a claim in Ontario?
The general deadline to sue is two years from the date you knew you had a claim, usually the accident date (Limitations Act, 2002). Several claims have much shorter notice deadlines: 7 days to notify your auto insurer of an accident benefits claim, 10 days for a fall on city property, and 60 days for a snow or ice fall on private property. Call as soon as you can so none of these run out.
After a car accident, is there only one claim?
No. In Ontario there are two separate claims. The first is no-fault accident benefits from your own insurer (medical, rehabilitation, income replacement) regardless of who caused the crash. The second is a possible lawsuit against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering and other losses. They have different forms and different deadlines, and we handle both.
Do I have to prove the dog had bitten someone before?
No. Ontario's Dog Owners' Liability Act applies strict liability. You do not have to prove the owner was careless or that the dog had a history of biting. The owner is responsible for the harm the dog caused. We still need to prove who the owner was and the extent of your injuries.
Will making a claim affect my immigration status?
Bringing a personal injury claim is a civil matter and is separate from immigration. Your right to compensation for an injury in Ontario does not depend on your citizenship. We are happy to discuss your specific situation in Korean when you call.
My family member was seriously hurt. Do I have a claim of my own?
You may. Section 61 of Ontario's Family Law Act lets close family members (spouse, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, brothers, and sisters) claim their own losses, such as the care they provide and the loss of guidance and companionship. This claim is separate from the injured person's claim.
