What deadlines or rules are critical to filing a claim if I’m injured in a slip and fall accident?
Summary
This video discusses the importance of understanding limitation periods and notice requirements for personal injury lawsuits in Canada. Generally, there is a two-year limitation period to initiate a lawsuit, but specific rules apply if the injury occurs on municipal or government property, requiring notice within ten days. Failing to provide this notice can jeopardize your case. The video emphasizes the need to consult with a lawyer promptly to navigate these requirements and highlights the significance of early notice in preserving evidence from the accident scene.

Insurers often take the position that if people recover and are able to get back to work, they will push for a graduated return to work or a work hardening plan to try to get you off their books.

They take the position that there is a job out there for everyone and that it is simply a matter of retraining.
