Are there time limits to file a catastrophic injury claim?

In Ontario, the time limits for filing a catastrophic injury claim are governed by the Limitations Act, 2002. Generally, individuals have two years from the date of the accident or the discovery of their injury to file a claim. For minors, the two-year limitation period begins on their 18th birthday. Exceptions may apply in cases where the injured individual lacks legal capacity.

It's crucial to act promptly and consult an experienced personal injury lawyer to ensure compliance with these deadlines. Missing the limitation period could result in losing the right to seek compensation. Gluckstein Lawyers can help you navigate the complexities of filing a claim, ensuring your rights are protected and your case is handled with care.
