Every person has the responsibility to treat every other person they encounter with reasonable care. Negligence occurs when a person fails to take this reasonable care. Reasonable care is defined as acting with a degree of caution that a rational person would exercise under the same circumstance. For instance, a restaurant owner who mops a wet floor and fails to place a wet floor sign can be found guilty of negligence if someone slips and falls. An ordinary, prudent person would know well enough to place the sign to prevent an accident.

The Ontario Limitations Act states that a victim has two years from the date of the automobile accident to file a legal claim. After two years, it is often too late to make a claim with your insurance provider or pursue legal action against the other party. However, the law does allow for exceptions to this two-year limitation in very few cases. It is often best to make a claim on an automobile accident as soon as possible, because legal proceedings can sometimes take years to complete.

Medical malpractice is often a case of negligence by your doctor. This negligence can occur in a variety of forms such as improper care, failure to diagnose, or delayed treatment. To prove that the doctor failed to provide adequate care, our law office typically utilizes our network of expert consultants to show that any competent doctor would have acted differently under the same circumstances. Furthermore, we will consult with the established medical associations to see if your doctor failed to follow conventional medical procedures or was negligent in doing so.
