Common questions
Yes. Our Bowmanville office is at 222 King Street East, Suite 207, and it is led by lawyers who serve the Durham community. You can meet with us in person to discuss your claim.
We act for injured clients throughout Clarington and Durham Region and the surrounding area, including Bowmanville, Courtice, Newcastle, Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Port Perry and Northumberland County.
Your initial consultation is free. We act on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no legal fees unless we recover compensation for you. If we do not win, you do not owe us fees or disbursements.
In Ontario you generally have two years to start a lawsuit, but several deadlines are much shorter. Accident benefit claims, slip and falls on snow or ice, and denied disability claims each carry their own early notice or limitation rules, some as short as a matter of days, so it is best to get advice as soon as possible.
We act on the full range of personal injury claims, from soft-tissue and orthopedic injuries to the most serious and catastrophic cases, including traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. If you are not sure whether you have a claim, ask us.
