Mississauga Car Accident Lawyers
A motor vehicle collision in Ontario triggers two parallel claims: an accident benefits claim against your own insurer, and a tort claim against the at-fault driver. The two interact, and the deadlines are short.
Shah & Shah Lawyers handles both sides for clients across Mississauga, Brampton and the GTA. Whether the collision was a low-speed rear-end or a multi-vehicle highway crash, the work is the same: build the file properly, deal with the insurer, and put you in the best position to recover.
What to do after this kind of accident
See a doctor, document what hurts, and follow recommended treatment. Insurers later read everything you did (and did not do) after the crash.
Report to the police if there is injury or significant damage, and to your own insurer promptly.
Photos of the vehicles and scene, the other driver’s insurance details, the police report number, and any receipts for out-of-pocket costs.
Insurer paperwork is full of releases and admissions. Have a lawyer look at it before you sign.

Most Ontario tort claims must be commenced within two years of the accident. Accident-benefits notice deadlines are much shorter — often days or weeks. Call us as soon as you can.
No. Eligible personal injury claims are handled on a contingency-fee basis — you pay legal fees only if your case is successful.
You may still have coverage through your own policy (the OPCF-44R endorsement, or unidentified-motorist coverage). We will tell you exactly what applies.
