How Much Is My Toronto Personal Injury Case Worth?
The value of a personal injury case depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the length of your recovery, and the impact on your ability to work and enjoy life.
One major component of compensation is pain and suffering—which covers both physical discomfort and emotional distress caused by the injury. If your injuries prevent you from enjoying activities you once loved—such as hobbies, travel, or spending time with family, you may be entitled to greater compensation. Other important considerations include whether your ability to work has been impaired. In essence, the greater the change to your lifestyle, the higher the potential award for pain and suffering.
You may also be entitled to compensation for lost income. This includes wages you have already lost as well as future earnings if your ability to work is reduced or compromised over time. If your injuries force you to retire early or change professions, you may also recover damages for the impairment of your earning capacity.


Another key area is compensation for past and future medical care. Serious injuries often require ongoing treatment to maintain your current level of health. Without continued care, your condition may deteriorate. The law recognizes this and provides for compensation when ongoing medical treatment is required but not otherwise accessible.
In some situations, you may also recover housekeeping or attendant care costs. If you can no longer manage daily tasks or care for yourself, you may be entitled to reimbursement for the expense of hiring help at home.
To determine the potential value of your claim, it’s important to speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer. At Preszler Injury Lawyers, we assess the full impact of your injuries, collect strong evidence, negotiate with the insurance company, and, if necessary, fight for your rights in court to ensure you receive fair compensation for everything you’ve lost.
Most Common Types of Personal Injury Cases in Toronto
Many personal injury cases in Toronto happen because of another person’s negligence. When someone fails to act responsibly and causes harm to others, they can be held legally responsible. Several types of accidents commonly lead to personal injury claims in the city.
Car Accidents
Car accidents are one of the most frequent causes. Negligent drivers who speed, text while driving, or fail to follow traffic signals often cause serious injuries. Due to their size and weight, truck accidents can be even more dangerous. These crashes may involve driver fatigue, overloaded cargo, or poor maintenance.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle collisions also lead to many serious injuries. Riders are more exposed and vulnerable; even a minor crash can result in serious harm. Similarly, bicycle collisions are common in Toronto, even with the implementation of bike lanes. Drivers who fail to check blind spots or make sudden turns put cyclists at risk.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents often happen at crosswalks or intersections when drivers fail to yield or run red lights. These incidents can cause devastating injuries, especially to seniors and children. Rideshare accidents involving services like Uber or Lyft are becoming more common, especially when riders are disembarking the vehicle. Liability in these cases can be complicated, involving both the driver and the rideshare company.
Premises Liability
Premises accidents involve injuries that happen on someone else’s property. It includes slips and falls due to wet floors, broken stairs, or icy walkways. Trip and fall claims occur when someone trips and fall due to potholes, raised ground, broken staircases or even on staircases that don’t have handrails. The law states that property owners have a legal duty to keep their spaces reasonably safe for visitors.
Dog Bites
Dog bites are another type of personal injury matter. Owners are responsible for controlling their pets and can be held liable if a dog attacks someone, especially if the dog had shown aggressive behavior before.
Boat Accidents
Boat accidents can occur on Toronto’s lakes and waterways due to reckless operation, lack of safety equipment, or alcohol use. Like car accidents, these can lead to serious injuries and complicated legal claims.

Proving a Personal Injury Case
To succeed in a personal injury case in Toronto, the injured person—also known as the plaintiff—must prove certain legal elements. These elements form the foundation of a personal injury claim, and each one must be clearly shown for the case to succeed in court or during settlement negotiations.
- The first element is the duty of care. It means the person or party responsible for the injury (the defendant) had a legal obligation to act carefully and reasonably. For example, drivers must follow traffic laws and keep others safe on the road, and property owners have a duty to keep their premises safe for visitors.
- The second element is a breach of duty. It occurs when the defendant fails to meet their duty of care. If a driver was texting while driving or a store left a spill on the floor without cleaning it up, that can be considered a breach. The plaintiff must show that the defendant acted careless or unsafely.
- The third element is causation. The plaintiff must prove that the defendant’s actions—or failure to act—directly caused the injury. It often involves showing that the injury would not have happened if the defendant had acted responsibly. Medical records and expert witnesses may be needed to prove the link between the accident and the injury.
- The final element is damages. It refers to the actual losses suffered because of the injury. Damages can include lost income, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, past and future medical care and other impacts on a person’s well-being. The plaintiff must provide evidence such as pay stubs, personal testimony, or expert opinions to show the extent of these losses.
Proving all four elements—duty, breach, causation, and damages—is essential for a successful personal injury claim in Toronto. Missing just one can weaken the case or result in no compensation. That’s why many injured people choose to work with an experienced personal injury law firm like Preszler Injury Lawyers.
At Preszler Injury Lawyers, we will gather the necessary evidence, build a strong case, and present it clearly to insurance companies or the court.

Most Common Injuries in a Toronto Personal Injury Case
Victims of accidents in Toronto often suffer a wide range of injuries, depending on the type and severity of the incident. Some injuries are minor and heal quickly, while others can lead to long-term pain, disability, or emotional distress.
Soft Tissue Injury
One of the most common injuries is a soft tissue injury, which affects muscles, ligaments, and tendons. These include sprains, strains, and whiplash, especially in car, bicycle and slip and fall accidents. These injuries may not be immediately visible but can cause significant pain and limited movement. The can develop into Chronic Pain.
Broken Bones
Broken bones are also common in many types of accidents, such as motor vehicle collisions, pedestrian incidents, or falls on unsafe property. Fractures can range from minor cracks to serious breaks requiring surgery and long-term recovery.
Head Injury
Head injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), can happen in car crashes, motorcycle accidents, and falls. These injuries can affect memory, mood, speech, and even a person’s ability to work or carry out daily tasks. Some TBIs may not show symptoms right away, making medical attention vital after any accident involving a blow to the head.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries are among the most serious and life-altering. These can result in partial or total paralysis and require long-term rehabilitation and care. Even less severe back and neck injuries can cause chronic pain and limit a person’s mobility.
Cuts and Lacerations
Cuts and lacerations may seem minor but can become serious if they become infected or damage nerves or lead to bad scarring. These injuries often happen in bicycle accidents, dog attacks, or slip-and-fall incidents.
Emotional and Phsycological Injuries
Lastly, many victims also suffer emotional and psychological injuries, such as anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), especially after a serious accident. These effects can be just as debilitating as physical injuries and may require therapy or counseling.

Fighting the Insurance Company in a Personal Injury Case
At Preszler Injury Lawyers, we know how to stand up to insurance companies and fight for the compensation you deserve. After an accident, insurance companies often try to minimize your injuries, delay your claim, or offer a low settlement that doesn’t fully cover your losses. That’s where we come in.

We protect your rights, gather strong evidence, and build a powerful case. From medical records and witness statements to expert reports, we collect all the necessary proof to support your claim and show the full impact of your injuries.
We also handle all communication with the insurance company, so you don’t have to worry about saying the wrong thing or being pressured into a settlement. Our lawyers know how to negotiate aggressively and push back when insurers try to undervalue your case. If the insurance company still refuses to be fair, we’re prepared to take your case to court and fight for you in front of a judge or jury.
At Preszler Injury Lawyers, we treat every client with respect and care. We take the time to understand your situation and explain your options clearly. You won’t pay any legal fees unless you win your case, so there’s no risk in reaching out for help.

Let our experienced Toronto personal injury lawyers take over the fight so you can focus on your recovery. Contact Preszler Injury Lawyers today to schedule your free consultation and learn how we can help you get the compensation you deserve.
Most Important Steps to Take in a Personal Injury Matter
If you’ve suffered an injury in an accident in Toronto, taking the right steps early on can make a big difference in your personal injury case. These actions can help protect your health and strengthen your claim for fair compensation.
1) Obtain a copy of the police report or incident report
First, it’s important to obtain a copy of the police report or incident report. If your injury happened in a car accident, a police report will document the details and may include who was at fault. For slips and falls or other premises accidents, an incident report may be available from the property owner or manager. These documents provide key evidence and can support your version of events.
2) Complete all recommended medical treatments
Next, be sure to complete all recommended medical treatments. Follow your doctor’s advice, attend all appointments, and take prescribed medications. Gaps in treatment or failing to follow through can harm your case and give the insurance company a reason to question the seriousness of your injuries.
3) Important timelines and legal options for your claim
Finally, speak with our Toronto personal injury lawyers as soon as possible. The sooner we get involved, the more effectively we can protect your rights, gather time-sensitive evidence, and begin building your case. We’ll guide you through the process from start to finish and fight for the compensation you deserve. Don’t wait—contact us today.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions our legal team gets asked
What does a lawsuit look like?
Every personal injury lawsuit is generally comprised of five main parts. The length of time each part takes can vary depending on the complexity of your case. Your lawyer will help you through each stage by providing tailored advice and strong legal representation.
You can expect:
- Statement of Claim: This is a formal document that initiates the personal injury claim against the at-fault party (or individual you are suing).
- Examination for Discovery: This is a meeting where you and your lawyer will ask the opposing party questions about the claim, the accident, fault, and anything else that is deemed relevant. The opposing party will also have the opportunity to ask you questions.
- Gathering of Evidence: Your legal team will gather a variety of evidence on your behalf to strengthen your claim. This might include medical records, police reports, images from the accident scene, witness testimony, expert opinions, and more.
- Mediation: If you would like to attempt to settle without going to trial, you will likely undertake mediation. Mediation involves you and the opposing party negotiating the terms of your settlement with the assistance of a neutral third party.
- Trial: If you are unable to reach a settlement during mediation, your claim will proceed to trial. During trial, your lawyer will present your case and the evidence they have gathered before a judge (and sometimes a jury). Once complete, the judge will decide the final amount of compensation you’re entitled to.
It’s important to note that a majority of personal injury claims are settled through mediation, out of court. Our Toronto personal injury lawyers help guide clients through each of these stages, so they don’t have to navigate the legal complexities alone.
What type of compensation can I expect to get?
When you’re injured in an accident due to someone else’s negligence, there are many different types of compensation you may be eligible to receive. The amount and kind will depend on the severity of your injury and the specifics of your case.
Common damages you might claim include:
- Pain and suffering
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Loss of income
- Housekeeping losses
- Medical costs
- Legal costs
- And more
Our experienced Toronto personal injury attorneys will help maximize what you can recover by exploring your case and eligibility in depth. We aim to ensure that the compensation you receive reflects not only your current suffering, but the lifelong effects that your accident may have in the future.
How long will the process take?
The length of time a personal injury claim can take varies widely according to the specifics of your case. While some cases settle in a matter of months, some can take anywhere from two to four years.
Some factors that affect the duration of personal injury claims include:
- Complexity of your injuries
- Each party’s willingness to settle
- Whether a claim goes to court
- Insurance company cooperation
- Availability of evidence
- And more
When liability is clear or injuries/damages are more clearly documented, cases may move faster. A personal injury lawyer will make sure the process keeps moving, although sometimes delays (like court backlogs) are unavoidable. Seeking personal injury legal advice early may help you streamline your timeline.
What does a lawyer do for me?
Your personal injury attorney will play an important role in your claim. Experienced lawyers provide strategic personal injury legal advice at every stage of your case. At Preszler Injury Lawyers, we help clients:
- Understand their legal rights
- Get medical assistance
- Recover financial support for their losses
- Gather evidence to strengthen their claims
- Negotiate with insurers or other opposing parties
- Advocate for full compensation
- Litigate in court
- And more
Our personal injury lawyers aim to assess the value of your claim so you can be protected from accepting low settlement offers from insurers or at-fault parties. In addition, because our lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, you’ll receive legal help from our team without paying any fees or costs upfront.
What will I be required to do?
There are a few things you can do to prepare for a personal injury claim. Although your personal injury lawyer will do the majority of the heavy lifting, there are ways you can help strengthen the foundation of your personal injury lawsuit.
You should see a doctor about your injuries following your accident. Make sure you tell them about all the symptoms you are experiencing and follow the medical advice they recommend. Keep records of your visits and communications so that you may demonstrate the ongoing effect of the incident.
In addition, you should be prepared to share the full details of your accident, your injuries, and your expectations with your lawyer early on. This way, your legal team can tailor their strategies to your specific situation. If your personal injury attorney offers you any legal advice, follow it closely to avoid insurance disputes or other issues.
What will the lawyer want to know?
Your personal injury attorney will be concerned with a couple of things:
- Your Life Before & After the Accident: Your lawyer will want to know what your life was like before and after the accident occurred. For example, they may ask you how your injuries have impacted your daily activities, work, personal relationships, and mental health. This knowledge is important, as the strength of a personal injury lawsuit often depends on showing the full extent to which your life has been disrupted by the accident.
- Details of the Accident Itself: To gain a full picture of your situation and your potential legal options, your lawyer will want to know every detail of your accident. With an in-depth understanding, they can assess the amount of damages you have incurred and the extent of liability that may be attributable to the at-fault party.
Maintaining open communication with your lawyer will ensure you receive the best possible personal injury legal advice throughout your claim.
What if I don’t win my case? Will this end up costing me money?
Ontario operates based on a “loser pays” system when it comes to personal injury lawsuits. This means that if you lose your case at trial, you may be required to pay part of the winner’s legal bill. However, a majority of personal injury lawsuits in the province do not ever go to trial and instead settle out of court.
An experienced personal injury lawyer will discuss cost protection options with you early on in the legal process. For example, they may be able to arrange litigation insurance to help protect you on the slim chance you do lose your case at trial. In addition, your attorney will assess your case strength before proceeding to court, so you can weigh the benefits and the risks before making any financial commitments.
Why do some cases take as long as they do?
When it comes to personal injury lawsuits, you must fully understand the extent of your injuries before you settle to ensure you receive fair compensation. While many simple cases can be settled within months of retaining a lawyer, cases with serious injuries might take longer. This is because it will take time for a serious injury’s full impact to become clear.
In addition, sometimes insurance negotiations can drag out the claim process. This is even true for cases that are not going to trial. Backlog in Ontario courts can also mean it takes one to two years to set a trial date, if you need one.
Receiving proper personal injury legal advice can help you make informed decisions about your settlement and the timing of your claim. Although it can be frustrating when your case takes longer than you expected, personal injury attorneys work hard to push claims forward.
