Free Consultation, No Fees Unless We Win
An accident doesn’t just hurt your body; it upends your income, your routine, and your peace of mind, while an insurance adjuster works to pay you as little as possible. You need someone in your corner who knows exactly how that fight works.
At Reyes Tam Law, you work directly with your lawyer from day one- no call centre, no case quietly handed off to someone you’ve never spoken to. Your first consultation is completely free, with no obligation to sign anything. And if you decide to move forward, you pay nothing until we win your case. We also serve clients in English, Tagalog, Pangasinan, Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, and Tamil, so language is never a barrier to understanding your rights.
If you’ve been injured and aren’t sure what to do next, talk to our personal injury lawyer in Toronto before you talk to the insurance company.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer in Toronto Do?
Toronto personal injury lawyer represents people who have been hurt due to someone else’s negligence. They help people pursue fair compensation for medical costs, lost income, and pain & suffering. At Reyes Tam Law, we handle a wide range of cases, including motor vehicle and car accidents, pedestrian and cyclist accidents, catastrophic and orthopedic injuries, chronic pain, slip and fall incidents, and dog bites cases. We also represent clients in wrongful death claims and medical malpractice matters.
Beyond accident claims, we handle disability law, including short-term and long-term disability denials, CPP disability denials, and ODSP matters. We primarily practice personal injury and disability law, which means our attention stays entirely on accident victims and their recovery, not spread across unrelated legal areas. We’ve also successfully helped clients who were unfairly placed in the Minor Injury Guideline or Threshold categories by insurers get reclassified, giving them access to greater benefits and compensation.
Understanding Personal Injury Claims
Almost every personal injury claim begins with a free consultation, where a lawyer first reviews your situation, explains your legal rights and assesses whether you have a claim. If you decide to move forward, your lawyer:
- Gathers evidence such as medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and expert opinions to build a strong case
- They then negotiate with the insurance company to seek a fair settlement
- While many claims resolve through negotiation, some may proceed to litigation if a reasonable settlement cannot be reached.
Throughout the process, your lawyer manages the legal work so you can focus on your recovery.
Choosing the Right Lawyer for Personal Injury Claims
Choosing the right personal injury lawyer in Toronto is just as important as pursuing the claim itself. Look for a firm that focuses on personal injury law, communicates clearly, has experience dealing with insurance companies, and offers transparent contingency fee arrangements. It’s also important to choose a lawyer who listens to your concerns and keeps you informed at every stage.
Reyes Tam Law offers free consultations, works on a contingency fee basis, and provides legal services in multiple languages so clients can fully understand our options. Our client-focused approach emphasizes compassionate guidance, clear communication, and dedicated representation from the beginning of your case until its resolution.
Time Limits for Injury Claims & Why Choose Reyes Tam Law
In Ontario, you generally have two years from the date of your accident to start a personal injury lawsuit. However, accident benefit claims often carry much shorter reporting deadlines, so speaking with a lawyer early protects your right to compensation. Waiting too long can mean losing access to benefits you’re entitled to.
Why Choose Reyes Tam Law for Your Personal Injury Claim?
A personal injury claim can affect far more than your physical recovery. It can disrupt your income, your routine, and your peace of mind. The right legal team should make that burden lighter, not add to it. That’s the approach we take at Reyes Tam Law.
We Start by Listening
Before discussing legal strategies or compensation, we take the time to understand what happened and how your injury has affected your life. Every claim has its own challenges, and understanding your circumstances helps us build an approach that reflects your needs, not a one-size-fits-all process.
We Deal With the Insurance Companies, So You Don’t Have To
Insurance companies have teams dedicated to protecting their interests. We work to protect yours. From handling communication and gathering evidence to negotiating your claim, we manage the legal process so you can focus on your treatment and recovery instead of worrying about paperwork and phone calls.
Straight Answers, Not Legal Jargon
You should never feel unsure about what’s happening with your case. We explain your options in clear, straightforward language, keep you updated as your claim progresses, and make sure you know what to expect at every stage. If English isn’t your first language, our multilingual team can assist you in the language you’re most comfortable speaking.
Focused on the Outcome That Matters to You
For some clients, that means securing fair compensation without unnecessary delays. For others, it means standing firm when an insurance company’s offer falls short. Whatever your situation, Reyes Tam Law is committed to protecting your rights and pursuing the outcome that best supports your recovery and future.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay anything upfront to hire a personal injury lawyer?
No. Reyes Tam Law works on a contingency basis, meaning you pay no fees or retainers until your case is successfully resolved.
What if I was placed in the Minor Injury Guideline by my insurer?
You may be entitled to more benefits than you’re currently receiving. Dana Reyes has successfully moved clients from Minor Injury and Threshold categories into Non-Minor and Catastrophic categories.
Can I file a personal injury claim if I was partly at fault?
Yes. Ontario follows the principle of contributory negligence, which means you may still be entitled to compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident. Your compensation may be reduced based on your share of responsibility, but being partly at fault does not automatically prevent you from making a claim.
