We recognize the immense emotional toll that comes with the tragic loss of a loved one due to an accident. When the death of their loved one is the result of the negligent actions or inactions of another party or entity, this grief is compounded by feelings of anger and helplessness. Navigating the complexities of a legal claim during this period of grief can be an overwhelming task without the guidance of an experienced attorney.

Our team is committed to pursuing comprehensive compensation for the loss of your loved one. This includes seeking reparation for the loss of care, comfort, guidance, companionship, as well as financial and emotional support. We are also prepared to pursue damages for the loss of an “interdependent relationship,” which might have encompassed a lifetime of shared responsibilities like housework, meal preparation, and child-rearing.

We believe that grieving family members should not be subjected to undue financial hardship in the wake of the unimaginable loss of a loved one. Our wrongful death lawyers have successfully handled wrongful death claims for surviving spouses, children, grandchildren, grandparents, and siblings. We will never settle for anything less than what is necessary to ensure our clients are well-supported following the passing of a loved one.

Across Canada, unintentional injuries rank as the sixth leading cause of death across all age groups. When negligent drivers operate their vehicles unlawfully, when property owners or occupiers fail to maintain their premises safely, when licensed professionals do not meet industry safety standards, or when other responsible parties neglect their duty of care, lives are tragically lost. Actions carry consequences, and when the negligent conduct of another robs a family of their loved one, the repercussions can be life-altering.

In the devastating aftermath of such a tragic event, bereaved relatives of wrongful death victims may be uncertain about what steps to take next or where to turn for accountability and restitution. However, it is crucial to note that, as per the province’s Limitations Act, eligible family members have only a limited window of time to initiate a claim. The province of Ontario imposes a two-year limitation for those seeking to pursue a wrongful death claim. If your child, parent, sibling, grandparent, or grandchild lost their life in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, and you incurred financial losses due to their passing, time is of the essence.
