Municipal Liability:

Question: How do I file an Ontario injury claim against a municipality for a dangerous road or walkway, and what notice deadlines apply?

Answer: In Ontario, if you were injured due to a municipality’s failure to maintain public infrastructure (like a road or walkway), you generally must act quickly because strict notice and limitation rules apply before you can sue; a lawyer & paralegals at Olson Craig Legal can review your incident details, confirm whether municipal liability applies, and help you meet any required notice period and procedural steps so your claim is preserved under the relevant framework, including statutory protections such as Municipal Act, 2001, section 448(1) .  Call (226) 886-2001 to discuss your options in plain language and get next steps tailored to your situation.
