LIMITATION PERIODS AND ACCESS TO JUSTICE

Mr. Marc Quinn, managing partner at Plant Quinn Thiele LLP, today celebrates 12 years at the bar with his law partners.  Upon being asked how access to justice has changed over the years, Mr. Quinn noted that in many ways the insurance industry has persuaded government to restrict the rights of injured persons to recover damages for their injuries.  The most significant change in this regard is that the time to sue has been changed from 6 years to 2 years.  This means that many personal injury victims will lose their right to compensation for injuries they suffer.  This change in the law highlights the fact that anyone injured in Ontario should immediately take advantage of a free legal consultation as offered by Plant Quinn Thiele and make sure that their rights are protected.  Given that missing a limitation period can prevent recovery every injured person should seek legal advice as soon as possible after the injury.  Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyers- Plant Quinn Thiele LLP - www.pqtlaw.com
