Why Experience in Ontario Injury Law Matters—A Lot
If you have been injured in an accident in Ontario, hiring an experienced personal injury law firm can make all the difference in your recovery—both physically and financially. While many lawyers may offer to take on your case, not all have the knowledge, background, and resources to handle the unique challenges of Ontario’s personal injury system.
At Auger Hollingsworth, we’ve been helping injured Ontarians navigate complex insurance and legal systems for over two decades. Here’s why real, local experience matters.
Ontario’s Injury Laws Are Complex
Ontario’s motor vehicle insurance laws are among the most complex in North America. Between accident benefits, tort claims, deductibles, limitation periods, and the “verbal threshold,” navigating the system can be overwhelming. If your lawyer doesn’t fully understand these elements—or misses a deadline—you could end up with far less compensation than you deserve.
An experienced Ontario injury law firm knows how to avoid these pitfalls. We understand how to coordinate your benefits, gather the right documentation, and push back when an insurance company tries to minimize your injuries.
Not All “Experience” Is Equal
Some firms claim to have “50 years of experience,” but what does that really mean? Often, it means the total number of years combined among all lawyers in the firm. That doesn’t tell you how long the firm itself has existed, whether it has a proven track record, or how experienced the leadership is.
What you want is a firm with a long-standing presence, solid infrastructure, and leadership that has successfully guided clients through every stage of litigation. Auger Hollingsworth has been serving injured clients across Ontario for over 20 years. Our leadership has been stable and consistent throughout, and we have the resources and experience to handle even the most complex cases with care and strategy.
Local Knowledge Builds Stronger Cases
A firm with deep roots in Ontario knows how to work with local doctors, treatment providers, and rehabilitation specialists. We know which experts are credible in court and how various insurers and defence lawyers typically operate in this province.
This local insight shapes everything from the way we gather evidence to how we prepare clients for discovery or mediation. It also gives us an advantage when negotiating settlements—because the other side knows we are prepared and knowledgeable.
One Chance to Get It Right
In personal injury law, you usually only get one chance to resolve your case. Once you settle, there’s no going back—even if your injuries worsen later. That’s why it’s critical to have experienced legal representation from the start. You need a team that knows how to protect your long-term interests and ensure you don’t leave money on the table.
