Personal Injury Lawyer in Mississauga, Ontario

Injury lawyers for Mississauga

SLG Lawyers acts for people injured in Mississauga from our office in Ajax, by video and phone. Consultations, document signing and most steps in an injury claim can be done remotely, with court steps by video where the court permits.

Mississauga sits at the meeting point of Highways 401, 403, 410 and 427 and the QEW, around Toronto Pearson Airport. That brings a high volume of highway collisions, airport and rideshare traffic, and transport trucks serving the industrial areas around the airport and Malton. Hurontario Street, Dundas Street and Eglinton Avenue are also busy with pedestrians, cyclists and transit users.

We act for Mississauga 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 Mississauga

Collisions in Mississauga are investigated by Peel Regional Police; collisions on the 400-series highways and the QEW are investigated by the Ontario Provincial Police. You must report a collision if anyone is injured or the combined damage appears to be more than $2,000. Injured people are often treated at Trillium Health Partners' Mississauga Hospital or Credit Valley Hospital. Keep every record, the collision report number and the other driver's insurance details.

Notify your own auto insurer within seven days, even if the other driver was at fault. See what to do after a car accident.

Airport, rideshare and highway collisions

Many Mississauga claims involve Uber, Lyft and taxi trips to and from Pearson, airport shuttles and commercial vehicles. When a rideshare or commercial vehicle is involved, there can be more than one insurance policy, and the order in which they respond matters for both accident benefits and the lawsuit. Highway collisions involving several vehicles also raise questions about who was at fault and how the claim is shared between drivers. See Uber, Lyft and Hopp accident claims.

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 Mississauga 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).
• 2 years to start most injury lawsuits (Limitations Act, 2002).

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 Mississauga injury claims are decided

Mississauga does not have its own Superior Court; injury lawsuits arising in Mississauga are usually started in the Superior Court of Justice at the A. Grenville & William Davis Courthouse in Brampton. Accident benefits disputes go to the Licence Appeal Tribunal, usually by video or in writing. Most claims settle before trial, often after mediation.
