Frequently Asked Questions

Our free consultations at Fox Vanounou LLP do not require any payment to schedule and require no obligation to work with our team on your part once the meeting is finished. During your free consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss the details of your accident and injuries with one of our Toronto personal injury lawyers. We’ll evaluate the strength of your potential claim, identify any challenges, and provide an honest opinion about your legal options. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions about Ontario’s personal injury process so that we can begin to plan your strategy moving forward.

No, there is absolutely no cost for an initial consultation with our Toronto personal injury lawyers at Fox Vanounou LLP. We believe injured individuals in Ontario deserve accessible legal guidance without having to worry about upfront expenses.

Fox Vanounou LLP operates on a contingency basis. This means that you don’t pay any fees or expenses upfront, and we don’t charge you for any legal fees unless we recover compensation for you. If your case is successful, our fees come out of the settlement or court award and will not exceed 30% plus HST and disbursements. 

Contingency fees are payment arrangements where a personal injury lawyer only gets paid if they successfully recover compensation for you. In other words, our fee is contingent upon winning or settling your case. This allows injured individuals to access legal representation without financial barriers.

Every accident or injury claim is unique, so the timeline can range from a few months to several years. Factors such as the complexity of the incident, the extent of injuries, and negotiations with insurance companies can affect how quickly a settlement is reached. At Fox Vanounou LLP, our priority is to move your case forward as efficiently as possible while ensuring we pursue the full and fair compensation you deserve.

For the most accurate assessment and productive meeting, you should bring any documentation you have that is related to your accident or injury. This might include:

• Medical records
• Accident reports
• Police reports
• Photos
• Correspondence with insurance companies
• And more

It’s also helpful to have the contact information of any witnesses and a timeline of events.

Depending on your situation, you may be entitled to many different kinds of compensation, including:

• Medical expenses
• Rehabilitation costs
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering damages
• And more

In Ontario, accident benefits can also include attendant care, housekeeping costs, and other support services. Our lawyers will review your case and discuss which benefits may apply to your specific circumstances.

It’s generally best to consult with a lawyer as soon as possible after an accident, especially before you give any statements to insurance adjusters. Early legal advice helps ensure that you protect critical evidence, meet important deadlines, and avoid common mistakes that could reduce the value of your claim.
