Serving the Whitby Community Since 1999

Whitby is the seat of government for the Durham Region and the second largest city in the area, behind Oshawa. Whitby tends to be a safe area in the region regarding car accidents and has just one spot on the top 10 most dangerous intersections. The southern portion of Whitby is primarily urban and sits alongside the 401 corridor, the economic hub, and the historic downtown on Brock Street at Highway 2. The more pastoral northern area features the smaller communities of Ashburn, Brooklin, and Myrtle.

The timeframe to take action depends on the type of personal injury and the circumstances surrounding it. Generally, the timeframe to file a claim is within two years of the incident. This window may vary based on the specific circumstances of your case. However, it’s vital to act promptly. As time passes, crucial evidence can diminish, making it more challenging to build a strong case. We empathize with the stress you may be experiencing, and we’re here to help. Reach out to us for a precise evaluation of your case and to establish the appropriate timeline for legal action.

Do I need to go to court for a personal injury case in Whitby?

Our aim is to achieve a resolution that serves your best interest, possibly without resorting to a trial. However, if we cannot negotiate an adequate settlement, we are prepared to represent you vigorously in court. We will support and guide you at every stage, focusing on the most favourable outcome for your case.
