What is a “legal action”?

It is a specific series of steps starting with the filing of a prescribed document called a "statement of claim" in a court office. For purposes of a meeting a limitation period requirement, this is the minimum requirement to preserve your claim.

PLEASE NOTE: Written notices (described above), applications for various benefits, verbal communications or simple contact with a lawyer do NOT mean a legal action has been started. Don't assume your legal rights have been protected in this way until your lawyer has been retained to pursue your claim and advises you the necessary steps have been taken on your behalf.

  Pace Law Firm Obtains $3.4 Million Dollars in Settlement

  Toronto, Ontario: Pace Law Firm recently obtained a $3.5 million dollar settlement for a client who suffered a car accident in 2003. The accident originally caused modest soft tissue damage which then escalated to catastrophic tissue damage, resulting in devastating effects for both client and family. The impact of the accident on the family was directly proportionate to the effect of the accident on the mother, and the settlement was awarded with this in mind.
