Mississauga Pedestrian Accident Lawyers
A pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle in Ontario is covered by the SABS — meaning you can claim accident benefits even though you were not driving. You may also have a tort claim against the at-fault driver.
Pedestrian collisions often produce serious injuries: head injuries, fractures, soft-tissue damage. We have helped clients recover significant compensation in this category.
What to do after this kind of accident
Hospital first, even for what feels like minor pain. Pedestrian impacts often produce delayed-onset symptoms.
Get name, plate, and insurance details. If the driver fled, the unidentified motorist coverage on your own policy may apply.
Photos of the intersection, the vehicle, and any visible injuries. Witness names and phone numbers.
Accident benefits deadlines are short. We can handle the notice for you.

- ·Investigate liability — including driver inattention, speed, and intersection design
- ·Coordinate rehabilitation and assistive-device claims
