Thomson Rogers started professional practice in 1935 in Toronto, in what was then a two person litigation law firm.
Today, we continue the tradition started by our founder Edson Haines, 80+ years ago. Our lawyers regularly argue cases before the Superior Court of Justice, the Ontario Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada. We advocate before administrative boards and tribunals across the Province. From humble beginnings, the firm has evolved into one of the largest personal injury law firms in Ontario and a leader, as well, in family law litigation, class action work and land use litigation.
Seeking compensation for injuries is a complicated process. You should not make any decision without being fully aware of all of your rights.
We know how to conduct personal injury cases. We can help you understand your rights, and we can assist you with the following:
- Early investigation of the circumstances surrounding the accident. This is very important, as witnesses move, memories fade over time, and records are not always kept.
- Your insurance company may not advise you of all the benefits to which you are entitled. We will.
- Your health care providers may suggest that you need services or goods, which your insurance company may not agree to pay. We will work with you and your treatment team to ensure that you obtain access to all reasonable and necessary treatment and rehabilitation services.
- We will assist you in obtaining a fair and complete settlement of your claims, no matter what it takes to get that done.
- We have the resources, skill and determination to pursue your case through to trial if a fair settlement cannot be negotiated.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM Thomson Rogers?
Although Thomson Rogers is located in downtown Toronto, when appropriate, our personal injury lawyers are prepared to come to the hospital or to your home to meet you and your family anywhere in Ontario. There is no obligation or fee charged for the initial meeting. We will be frank and open about what we can achieve for you and what we will charge you. We will provide you with complete written explanation about legal fees.
We are accessible and experienced, and employ a highly trained staff to assist with your case. You should ask us about our qualifications and depth of experience in handling cases like yours. We have more personal injury lawyers than any other personal injury firm in Ontario who have been named by their peers (other qualified lawyers) as experts in the field, and are designated in Lexpert and in the Best Lawyers in Canada publication. Six former Thomson Rogers partners have gone on to become Judges in Ontario. We have lawyers who have been Benchers (the lawyers who run the profession in Ontario), presidents of the Advocates’ Society and the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association. Our lawyers lecture and train other lawyers.
