If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, the law may entitle you to compensation — for pain and suffering, income loss, future care, and more. But personal injury claims are time-sensitive, evidence-driven, and often aggressively defended by insurance companies.
At Tamir Litigation, we represent individuals who have suffered serious injuries and need experienced legal counsel to advance their claims. We don’t use scripted lines about “guiding you through every step.” We act when legal knowledge, strategy, and precision are required, especially when the stakes are high.

We understand the toll that motor vehicle accidents take on those who have been hurt, and on their families. Our goal to help the whole family, as such help is often necessary to ensure optimal recovery of the injured person(s).
We know how to fight, how to be strategic and how to deal with the insurance industry. We help our clients to coordinate medical and rehabilitation treatment and get access to financing, should the latter become necessary.
This means that if you got injured in a snowmobile accident or ATV accident, even if you were the one at fault, you are likely eligible to receive medical rehabilitation benefits, attendant care and possibly income replacement or non earner benefits from your auto insurance. If you have purchased an extended auto insurance policy then you may also qualify for housekeeping benefits.
If the accident was caused by a malfunction of your snowmobile or ATV, you may be able to proceed against the manufacturer and distributor with a product liability claim.
In the event your injuries were caused by someone else who was operating a snowmobile or ATV you may be able to sue that person for the same tort damages as if your injuries were caused by a motor vehicle accident.
Snowmobile Accidents
Under the L Motorized Snow Vehicles Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. M.44 , snowmobiles that are operated outside owner’s property must to be insured under a motor vehicle liability policy. Similarly, the Off-Road Vehicles Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. O.4 requires all ATVs to be insured by a motor vehicle liability policy.
Snowmobiling is a popular winter activity in Ontario, but it comes with risks. Accidents can result in serious injuries, including spinal cord damage, fractures, and traumatic brain injuries. If you’re injured in a snowmobile accident, you may be eligible for Statutory Accident Benefits, regardless of fault, covering medical expenses, income replacement, and more. Additionally, if another party’s negligence contributed to the accident, you might have grounds for a tort claim to seek further compensation.Strict timelines apply: you must notify your insurer within 7 days and submit your application for benefits within 30 days.Consulting with a personal injury lawyer promptly can help protect your rights and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Accident Benefits in Ontario
Tort Claims for Additional Compensation
In Ontario, anyone injured in a motor vehicle accident — whether a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian — is entitled to Statutory Accident Benefits through their auto insurance policy, regardless of who was at fault. These no-fault benefits may cover income replacement, medical and rehabilitation expenses, attendant care, and other essential supports. The system is designed to provide immediate financial relief after an accident, but the process is often complex, and benefits can be limited or denied. Timely notice and detailed medical documentation are critical.
While accident benefits provide a basic level of support, they often fall short of covering the full impact of serious injuries. That’s where the tort system comes in. If someone else was at fault for the accident, you may have the right to sue them for additional damages — including pain and suffering, loss of income beyond statutory limits, future care costs, and other losses. Tort claims require evidence of negligence and proof of damages, and are typically pursued alongside accident benefits to ensure full recovery.
Accident Benefits vs. Tort Claims: What’s the Difference?
A common misconception is that you must choose between claiming accident benefits or suing the at-fault party — but in Ontario, both processes can run in parallel.
Accident benefits are available to anyone injured in a motor vehicle accident, regardless of fault. These are automatic entitlements meant to provide immediate support. However, the benefits are limited — particularly when it comes to income replacement and medical coverage over time.
Tort claims, on the other hand, require you to prove that another party was negligent. If successful, you may recover compensation that goes far beyond what accident benefits provide — including damages for pain and suffering, loss of competitive advantage, housekeeping expenses, and future medical care.
In most serious cases, accident benefits alone are not enough. That’s why we pursue both routes where appropriate — securing immediate support through your insurer, and holding the responsible party accountable through the courts.
Civil Liability for Assault and Battery
We routinely represent persons who sustained injuries while being incarcerated or during interactions with police. We also act for people who have been injured during physical attacks and battery.
Product Liability Litigation
Product liability litigation refers to instances where a person suffers an injury while using what turns out to be defective product. Some examples here include fall related injuries in case of a faulty wheelchair, permanent foot injuries as a result of wearing hockey skates with displaced foam padding, injuries and damages sustained due use and operation of various kitchen appliances, and so forth.
Normally it is not possible to know whether the product has been defective before the accident occurs. It is only after the fact when counsel retains an engineering expert, an opinion on liability can be obtained.
If you have been injured due to usage of some form of equipment or product please make sure to preserve that specific object that have caused your injuries. We will be happy to assist with any type of claims related to product liability.
