Personal Injury Lawyer in Brampton, Ontario

Injury lawyers for Brampton

SLG Lawyers acts for people injured in Brampton from our office in Ajax, by video and phone. You do not need to travel: consultations, document signing and most steps in an injury claim can be done remotely, and court steps by video where the court permits.

Brampton has some of the heaviest commercial traffic in Ontario. Highways 410, 407 and 401 carry trucks to and from the distribution centres and warehouses along Steeles Avenue, Airport Road and the Highway 410 corridor, and Queen Street, Bovaird Drive and Hurontario Street are busy with commuters, transit and pedestrians. Many of the Brampton claims we see involve rear-end and intersection collisions, transport trucks, and pedestrians struck at major intersections.

We act for Brampton clients by video and phone from our Ajax office, with documents signed electronically. Court steps are handled by video where the court permits; where an in-person attendance is required, we will tell you at the outset. If you are in hospital or cannot travel, we can arrange a meeting where you are.

After a collision in Brampton

Collisions in Brampton are investigated by Peel Regional Police. In Ontario you must report a collision if anyone is injured or the combined damage appears to be more than $2,000. If police do not attend, you may be directed to a Peel collision reporting centre, usually within 24 hours. Injured people are often taken to Brampton Civic Hospital or Peel Memorial; keep every record from the hospital and your family doctor.

Then notify your own auto insurer within seven days, even if the other driver was at fault. Our guide to what to do after a car accident walks through each step.

Transport truck and commercial vehicle collisions

Claims involving tractor-trailers, delivery vans and other commercial vehicles are different from ordinary car crashes. The trucking company and its insurer act quickly, there may be several policies and higher limits involved, and important evidence such as electronic logging device data, dashcam footage, driver hours and maintenance records can be lost if it is not preserved early. If you were hit by a commercial vehicle, contact a lawyer soon so preservation letters can go out.

Injury deadlines in Ontario

• 7 days to notify your own auto insurer that you intend to claim accident benefits (O. Reg. 34/10, s. 32).
• 10 days to give written notice to the City of Brampton or the Region of Peel after an injury caused by a municipal road or sidewalk.
• 60 days to give written notice to the occupier after a slip and fall on snow or ice on private property (Occupiers' Liability Act, s. 6.1).
• 120 days to give written notice of a claim to the at-fault driver (Insurance Act, s. 258.3).

Late notice does not always end a claim, but it can make it harder. Exceptions apply; speak with a lawyer about your specific deadline.

2026 changes to accident benefits

Since July 1, 2026, only medical, rehabilitation and attendant care benefits are mandatory on Ontario auto policies. Income replacement and other benefits are optional, and only cover the policyholder, their spouse and dependants, and listed drivers. If you were a passenger, pedestrian or cyclist without your own policy, your lost income may have to be claimed from the at-fault driver.

Free consultation, no fee unless we recover

Injury consultations are free. We handle personal injury files on a contingency basis: our fee is a percentage of the amount recovered, on a sliding scale of 28% to 36% with a maximum of 36%, and you pay no legal fee if there is no recovery. You receive a written contingency agreement before we start. See how our injury fees work.

Where Brampton injury claims are decided
