Car Accident Lawyers
Our car accident lawyers represent clients injured through no fault of their own, navigating complex insurance claims to secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We handle cases involving distracted drivers, impaired motorists, and commercial vehicle collisions. With decades of experience, we challenge insurers to ensure full recovery for vehicle damage, rehabilitation costs, and long-term care needs.
Slip and Fall Claims
We prosecute slip and fall cases against property owners who failed to maintain safe conditions. Our team investigates hazardous conditions like icy walkways, wet floors, and uneven surfaces to prove occupier liability. We secure compensation for medical treatment, lost income, and home modifications required due to serious injuries like fractures and spinal trauma.
Catastrophic Injury Cases
Our firm specializes in catastrophic injury claims involving brain damage, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and permanent disabilities. We work with medical experts to document life-altering impacts and secure settlements covering lifetime care costs, home modifications, and loss of future earnings while challenging insurers' catastrophic impairment determinations.
Motorcycle Accidents
We represent motorcyclists injured by negligent drivers, pursuing compensation for vehicle damage, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. Our lawyers understand road safety challenges faced by riders and combat biased insurer assessments to ensure fair treatment for clients involved in collisions with automobiles and trucks.
Long-Term Disability Claims
Our disability law specialists challenge insurance denials and secure benefits for clients unable to work due to accident-related injuries. We handle complex cases involving chronic pain, psychological trauma, and physical impairments, ensuring clients receive income replacement and medical coverage through private or workplace disability policies.

A word of advice. Be prepared to have a revolving door on the the legal team and support assigned to your case. I was surprised by the short tenure of the staff as we cycled through 4 lawyers by the time we reached mediation. I also suggest that if you're not in a position to pick up your settlement cheque, it be sent by courier. After all, the fees will more than adequately cover that cost. Our settlement was sent by Canada Post during the busiest time of the year, Christmas.

Thank you to Andrew Rodrigues who took over my file earlier this year and he has been amazing. He is very kind and professional. He always explained what was happening with the case. He was easy to reach and always called me to update me. If you sign up with Grillo Law, do yourself a favour and ask for him to be your lawyer.

I had a great experience using Grillo law. Mikalai got my tort claim closed in less then a year and my paralegal Devika and Yalini were super responsive if I had any questions and closed within a year as well. I was very happy with my outcomes and experience. Would definitely recommend this firm.
