Frequently Asked Questions

We know you have many questions about what has happened and how to move forward. The answers below are a good place to start in understanding your rights.
  • How can a personal injury lawyer help me?

    Our personal injury lawyers help accident and injury victims in many ways you might not even think of.

    At Howie, Sacks & Henry, we:

    • Help manage your case against those who have caused your injuries
    • Handle claims against your insurance company for accident benefits
    • Work directly with your treatment team and make sure that you see the right specialists and treatment providers to improve your chances of making a full and good recovery
    • Take the time to understand the medical issues you are dealing with and assemble a team of highly specialized medical consultants to help present the best possible case
    • Help families with complicated housing situations, including finding the right place to live after the accident, if the injuries don’t allow them to move back home
    • Help those in financial crisis solve their financial problems until their case gets resolved
    • Assist you and your family in finding good counsellors to help with family issues often caused by the accident and serious injuries
    • Make sure you have access to financial advice to help understand how you can best use and protect the money that you receive from your case
  • How long do personal injury cases take to settle?

    Personal injury cases can take time to settle, just as injuries take time to heal.

    Some injuries, if they’re severe enough, can take up to two years before the full consequences of the injury are known. A good law firm shouldn’t try to settle your case before then.

    More importantly, it takes two sides to arrive at a settlement. Often we ask an insurance company to settle for what we consider to be the fair value of your case, but they refuse. In those situations, the case must go forward until the insurance company agrees to pay an amount that is fair. And if they don’t, a trial is the only way to get a fair result for you.

    It usually takes about four to five years after the case is commenced to get to trial. Unfortunately, a big part of that delay is due to the back log in all of our courts in Ontario and that back log can take up to two years all by itself. The good news is that at Howie, Sacks & Henry, over 95% of our cases settle, before a trial is necessary. 

    Rest assured that at HSH, we will move your case forward as fast as possible, without compromising our work, to ensure you get a fair result. 

  • How long do I have to make a claim?

    You should consult with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after your accident or injury. In some cases, you must send a notice letter within a few days after an accident. If you don’t, you may completely lose your legal right to claim compensation. 

  • How do you determine what my case is worth?

    Cases are evaluated based on the evidence, the credibility of the people involved, and professional judgement.

    Evidence comes in many forms, including your own description of how the accident happened and how it has affected you; medical records; tax, employment, insurance records; and more. Some of the evidence can only be provided by experts, often doctors, and this evidence is particularly important because it helps us understand not only how the injuries are impacting you now, but how they will continue to impact you in the future. These reports, that we will obtain for you, will help us answer key questions like “Will you need more surgery?”, “Will you be able to go back to work, and if so, when and under what circumstances?”, “What medical needs will you have in the future?”, and other important questions about your case.

    The second important factor is credibility or believability – always an important consideration in any personal injury case. Everything the insurance company does is viewed through the lens of “How would this look to a Judge or Jury?” Even though most cases don’t go to trial, the value of the case is often shaped by the likelihood that whoever is making the claims will be believed.

    And finally, there is professional judgement. Ultimately, our experience in handling thousands of cases over the years gives us the ability to know what damages to pursue, how to prove them, and how to maximize the recovery that we can get for you.

  • How do I pay my lawyer fees?

    It’s simple. If we don’t win, you don’t pay.

    If we’re not successful for you, we don’t charge you a legal fee, and if we are successful our fee is a percentage of what we are able to recover for you. This makes it very simple for you to calculate and understand our legal fees.

    At Howie, Sacks and Henry our contingency fee agreement complies with all of the rules and regulations of the Law Society of Ontario.

    Contingency fees provide seriously injured victims with access to justice. Many of our clients can not work. They need care, they need treatment. They don’t have any extra money lying around to pay a lawyer.

    Contingency fees allow you to access some of the best personal injury lawyers in the province without adding to the tremendous financial stress that you are already under.

    When we take on your case you can be confident that we believe in you and that we will fight using all of our resources and expertise to get you the best result possible and to get you the compensation you deserve.

  • What information should I have ready for my free consultation?

    Thankfully we don’t require much information at our initial consultation, other than your memory of when, where, and how the accident happened; what injuries you’ve sustained and how it’s affected you. We use this initial consultation to have a open and friendly conversation to get a sense of whether you would like us to represent you and whether we believe that we can help with your claims.

  • What areas do our lawyers serve in Ontario?

    Our personal injury lawyers help clients all across Ontario. 

    Our main office is located in downtown Toronto adjacent to the Eaton Centre and we also have consultation offices in Markham, Brampton, Oakville, Kitchener, Georgetown, and Bobcaygeon. 

    We are also able to meet with you virtually through the use of video conferencing technology. Whether you want to communicate by email, telephone or video conferencing, our communication is always confidential.

  • How does Howie Sacks & Henry use AI?

    We use AI responsibly to support our professionals, but it never replaces expert legal judgment.

    All work involving AI is reviewed and verified by our legal professionals before any external disclosure. This ensures accuracy, reliability, and compliance with professional standards.

    We are committed to safeguarding client information. Client data is never entered into unsecured third-party platforms. Our AI solutions operate in a secure, closed system to maintain confidentiality and comply with data protection and privacy laws.

    We use AI to enhance efficiency and accuracy without compromising the ethical and professional standards that guide our practice. Our AI use aligns with our obligations under privacy and data protection laws.

    Any cost savings or efficiency gains from AI use are reflected in our billing and may be itemized as disbursements, consistent with our commitment to transparency and fairness.

We recommend Meghan Hull and the team at Howie, Sacks & Henry LLP highly enough. Our words of gratitude and appreciation are not enough to write about Meghan but will try my best to put out our experience in thoughtful words.After going through a terrible car accident,Meghan and her team stepped in with the exact blend of professional excellence and genuine human compassion we needed during such a difficult time. From day one, Meghan was incredibly helpful, supportive, and a truly solid rock for our family. She is deeply passionate about her work, yet remarkably humble and respectful toward our needs. She didn't just handle our case—she truly understood what we were going through and made sure we got the help we needed. The entire staff at the firm is exceptionally kind and detail-oriented. They answered every single question we had, provided immense emotional support, and were always on time with every call and email response. They truly put the client’s needs first and work tirelessly to ensure those needs are completely fulfilled.

I can’t speak highly enough about Meghan and her legal team. Throughout an incredibly difficult and stressful process, Meghan was exceptional — always thoroughly prepared, thoughtful in her advice, and unwavering in her professionalism. What stood out just as much as her legal expertise was her genuine empathy and compassion. She took the time to listen, understand what our family was going through, and made us feel supported and cared for every step of the way. We never felt like just another case. When it came time to fight for us, Meghan did so with incredible determination and conviction. She was a fierce advocate on our behalf, and we always felt confident knowing she was in our corner. We are incredibly grateful for everything she did for us and for helping us achieve a successful verdict. I would recommend Meghan without hesitation.

I cannot recommend Howie, Sacks & Henry LLP highly enough. Christian Genova did an excellent job supporting my father and our family throughout what was an incredibly stressful and difficult situation. From the beginning, Christian made sure my father was taken care of every step of the way. He was professional, responsive, patient, and genuinely committed to achieving an equitable and fair resolution for him. I also want to recognize Jashan, Pavi, and Kaithlyn, who were wonderful throughout the entire process. The compassion, empathy, and care shown by the whole team made a significant difference to our family. They took a situation that could easily have felt overwhelming and made it much more manageable by keeping us informed, answering our questions, and ensuring we always felt supported. What stood out most was that we never felt like just another case. Christian and the team treated my father with dignity and genuinely seemed to care about what was best for him and our family. We are extremely grateful to Christian, Jashan, Pavi, Kaithlyn, and everyone at Howie, Sacks & Henry LLP for their hard work and support. If you are looking for a law firm that combines professionalism and strong advocacy with genuine compassion for its clients, I would not hesitate to recommend them.

I had a consultation with Meghan regarding my mother-in-law’s health situation, and I cannot say enough about how helpful and supportive she was. She took the time to really listen, explain everything clearly, and break down what can feel like an incredibly overwhelming situation into information that was easy to understand. Her knowledge, compassion, and genuine support made such a difference during a very difficult time for our family. I left the consultation feeling much more informed, reassured, and confident about the next steps. I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend Meghan and this firm.

Daniel Fisher and Adam Wagman provided a close family member after she was hurt in a car accident. It was a frightening and deeply upsetting experience, but Adam and Daniel guided her and our family through the legal process with professionalism, patience, and genuine compassion. They provided outstanding legal advice, explained each step clearly, and made sure my mother always felt heard, protected, and supported. Their preparation, judgment, persistence, and commitment to her case ultimately produced an excellent result. What impressed us most was that they never treated my mother as simply another client or case. They understood the personal impact the accident had on her life and treated her with dignity and care throughout the entire process. Our family is incredibly grateful to Daniel and Adam for everything they did. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for highly skilled personal injury attorneys who are both formidable advocates and genuinely compassionate people.

My wife and I want to personally thank our lawyer Sandra Train and the team involved in our case, Sandra’s law clerk Elena Kudryavtseva along with Elena’s legal assistant Joelle Omrin and the rest of the team at HSH lawyers for outstanding an job in guiding us to a successful settlement in our motor vehicle injury law case. From the beginning, Sandra was very helpful and full of knowledge and information guiding us as we were in this dark tunnel, overwhelmed with so many obstacles and procedures, we didn't know where to turn next! Sandra was a great listener and very supportive! Sandra and the team made it very easy for us taking a lot of pressure off our minds and guiding us through the proper channels of the legal system and resources that were available to us. Sandra told me she had worked on the other side of the fence with the insurance companies which made her very knowledgeable on policy and procedure that was involved in this complex situation. This is the second time that our family has used Sandra in a legal case, as I had a brother of mine that I advocated for that was catastrophically injured in a motor vehicle accident. Back then I had reached out to numerous lawyers and interviewed them and I found Sandra to be the most straightforward honest helpful person I dealt with and did not come across like your typical lawyer. She is very compassionate, courteous , considerate and will go out of her way to help you. She would take calls or return calls without hesitation. It almost seemed like she was working 24/7 on your case. When we had our discovery, that's when the true lawyer comes out in her! She definitely knows what she's doing. I find that she under promises and over delivers and never wants to make any commitments that she cannot deliver on. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to anybody as she definitely will take the stress off you and guide you through the whole process. Believe me!! I know this for a fact! I was injured in a very serious motor vehicle accident and spent four months between hospital and rehab hospital and she was there beside me all the time calling and following up and asking how I am doing and telling me what the next steps are going to be and what to expect. The other thing I found that everybody at HSH lawyers seems to work as a team and they all communicate with one another and they know exactly what's going on. I wouldn't have any problems recommending Sandra to anybody! Job well done! Once again, THANK YOU, Sandra and the whole team at HSH !! Alex
