Most Common Types of Accident Injuries in Toronto
Personal injury accidents can cause a wide range of physical and psychological injuries, some of which may require lifelong care. Our personal injury lawyers have extensive experience handling claims involving the following types of injury:
- Spinal cord injuries and other spinal injuries: Damage to the spinal cord can result in partial or complete paralysis. These injuries often occur in high-impact motor vehicle accidents or catastrophic falls. We work with medical specialists to assess the long-term impact and secure compensation for home modifications, assistive devices, and attendant care.
- Traumatic brain injuries and head injuries: Brain injuries can lead to cognitive impairment, memory loss, emotional disturbances, and reduced quality of life. We support clients through the complex claims process, gathering the necessary medical evidence to demonstrate the full extent of traumatic brain injuries.
- Orthopedic injuries including fractures and joint damage: Broken bones, torn ligaments, and joint damage are common in motorcycle crashes, slip and fall incidents, and truck collisions. These orthopedic injuries can significantly disrupt daily life and work capacity, especially for senior citizen clients or those with physically demanding jobs.
- Soft tissue injuries from motor vehicle accidents: Whiplash and other soft tissue damage may not be immediately visible but can cause chronic pain and mobility issues. We ensure these injuries are not minimized by insurance adjusters seeking to offer meagre settlements.
- Psychological trauma from serious accidents: Anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) frequently accompany severe accidents. We pursue compensation for psychological injuries alongside physical harm, recognizing the toll of invisible injuries on overall well-being.
Proving Liability After an Injury
Establishing who is legally responsible is a foundational element in any personal injury claim. Our experienced lawyers conduct thorough investigations to identify all liable parties, whether it’s a negligent driver, property owner, employer, or healthcare provider.
We collect:
- Police reports and collision reconstructions
- Surveillance footage or dash cam evidence
- Witness statements from bystanders or first responders
- Medical documentation and specialist reports
- Engineering or forensic analysis in product liability and premises liability claims
Our team is well-versed in disputing claims from insurance companies that try to minimize or deny liability. We use expert testimony and case law to clearly demonstrate fault and protect our clients from unfair blame.
How long do most personal injury claims take?
There is no one-size-fits-all timeline for resolving personal injury claims. The duration depends on multiple factors, including:
- The nature and severity of the injuries
- Whether the injuries are stabilized or still evolving
- The responsiveness of the insurance provider
- Whether the claim proceeds to litigation
In straightforward cases involving minor injuries, a fair settlement may be reached in under a year. More complex claims such as those involving catastrophic injuries or disputed liability may take several years to resolve, especially if trial becomes necessary. We remain transparent throughout the process, providing regular updates and helping clients manage expectations at every stage of their legal journey.
What are the damages in a personal injury claim?
In a successful settlement or court award, accident victims may be eligible for several types of compensation, including:
- Medical and rehabilitation expenses: Costs for hospital care, surgeries, physiotherapy, and mental health treatment
- Income loss and reduced earning capacity: Coverage for missed work, lost wages, and diminished future earnings
- Out-of-pocket expenses: Costs related to transportation, prescriptions, and assistive equipment
- Pain and suffering: Non-economic damages for physical pain and emotional distress
- Future care costs: Compensation for ongoing therapy, medical equipment, and caregiver support
- Loss of companionship in wrongful death cases: Financial recovery for bereaved family members, including loss of guidance, support, and consortium
We take into account all short-term and long-term impacts to secure a fair and satisfactory settlement for each client.

Frequently Asked Questions about Personal Injury Lawsuits |
What is a personal injury?The general definition of “personal injury” is any injury inflicted onto a person’s body, which is different from damage to property or reputation. In legal terms, it means physical or mental injury, or property damage caused to you by another party’s negligence. If your injury or damaged property was caused by someone else’s inattention or negligence, you may have a case to file a personal injury lawsuit against them to help recover damages and seek justice. Call +1 (613) 233-4529 today to set up your free consultation and learn how our personal injury lawyers can support you. |
What is personal injury mediation?In many areas of Ontario, a mandatory 3-hour mediation is often scheduled early in the process, to help the parties try to settle the lawsuit. To prepare for mediation, Richard or Brenda will choose a mediator whose style and reputation is favourable to you; prepare a statement of issues, otherwise called the mediation memorandum; and represent you at the mediation. |
What is the discovery phase of a personal injury lawsuit?If the lawsuit is not settled during the mediation process, the next step is to focus on fact-finding by requesting documents and calling witnesses for examination to secure a full picture of what happened. As the plaintiff, you, too, will be asked to produce requested documents and to write up what you experienced and know in an affidavit, signed under oath, and perhaps submit to a physical examination to allow the defendant to evaluate your injuries. Key documents are medical records, road or walkway maintenance records, vehicle repair records and your employment file if there are claims for loss of income. |
How does a personal injury lawsuit start?A lawsuit begins with a Statement of Claim which states the claims for injuries and demands compensation along with the story of how the accident occurred. The defendant, usually represented by an insurance company, responds to the Statement of Claim with a Statement of Defence, which lays out the defendant’s version of the accident. We can file a response to the Statement of Defence, which rebuts the defendant’s version of the story. |
What is the Toronto Settlement Conference?This may be the first significant consideration of your case by a court official, a judge or a master. Your lawyers at Auger Hollingsworth will schedule the settlement conference; prepare the settlement conference brief, which is called the script for trial; and attend the settlement conference with you. |
