Why Choose Our
Personal Injury Team?
You need more than reassurance. You need a team that can explain your options, build the evidence, and pursue the compensation your claim deserves.
Sivan Tumarkin represented insurance companies before co-founding our firm. Today, he acts for injured and disabled people. That experience helps us anticipate how insurers may challenge a claim.
We explain important developments, answer your questions, and help you understand the decisions ahead.
-
Find out who is responsible.
We investigate the incident, identify potential claims, and review the insurance coverage available.
-
Build the medical and financial evidence.
We gather relevant records and, where needed, work with medical and other experts to document your injuries, lost income, and future care needs.
-
Deal with the insurer.
We address disputes about fault, the seriousness of your injuries, and what your claim is worth. You don’t have to manage the negotiations alone.
-
Pursue a resolution that reflects your losses.
We negotiate from the evidence and take legal action where needed. Before you decide on a settlement, we explain what it covers and what you would give up.
Compensation for Your Injury.
Not Just Today’s Bills.
We build your claim around what the injury has cost you and what it could cost you in the years ahead.
Depending on your claim, compensation can include:
Pain and suffering
The effect on your activities and enjoyment of life.
Lost income
Missed work and reduced future earning ability.
Treatment and rehabilitation
Care, therapy, and related expenses.
Future care and support
Personal assistance, household help, and accessibility needs.
Out-of-pocket costs
Documented expenses caused by your injury.
Before you settle, understand your options.
An offer should be assessed against your losses and future needs, not just your expenses so far. We explain what accepting it would mean for your claim.
Accident benefits and a lawsuit are different.
After a motor vehicle accident, Ontario accident benefits may help with treatment and other eligible needs regardless of fault. A separate claim against a responsible party may also be available. We assess both, including the coverage and rules that apply.

We also handle orthopedic injury claims involving fractures and other bone or joint injuries and claims involving injured children. You can contact us on behalf of a loved one who needs help.
Your Injury.
Your Income. Your Future.

Samfiru Tumarkin also practises disability and employment law. Tell us about these connected issues so we can assess what help you need.
Disability benefits denied or cut off?
Our disability insurance team challenges denied and terminated claims and pursues the benefits you’re owed.

Personal Injury Lawyer Toronto FAQs
Clear answers about working with a Toronto personal injury lawyer.
How do I know if I have a personal injury claim?
Tell us how you were injured and how your life has changed. We assess the circumstances, potential responsibility, and available insurance coverage. You don’t need to know the legal category before contacting us.
Is the consultation free?
Yes. Our personal injury consultations are free. If we take on your claim, you pay no legal fees unless we win. Before you hire us, we explain our contingency percentage, taxes, case expenses, and any other cost risks.
How soon should I contact a lawyer?
Contact us promptly. Deadlines and notice requirements vary, and some can be much shorter than you expect. Early advice can also help preserve evidence. You don’t need to wait until treatment ends.
Can I get help if I was partly at fault?
Possibly. Shared fault can affect compensation, but it doesn’t automatically rule out every claim. After a motor vehicle accident, Ontario accident benefits may also be available regardless of fault, subject to applicable coverage and rules.
Will I have to go to court?
Not necessarily. A lawsuit can settle through negotiation or mediation without a trial. If a trial is needed, we explain what to expect and prepare you for each stage.
How long will my claim take?
Timing depends on your recovery, the evidence, the issues in dispute, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. We explain the factors affecting your timeline and keep you informed as the claim progresses.
What should I have ready for the consultation?
If available, have the accident date and location, insurance correspondence, photos, witness details, and information about treatment and missed work. Don’t delay contacting us because you don’t have everything.
What should I do now to protect my claim?
Keep photos, witness details, insurance letters, receipts, and records of missed work. Contact us promptly about reporting requirements and deadlines. Get advice before accepting a settlement or signing a release.
