Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Serving Toronto and All of Ontario
Motorcycle accidents are different from ordinary car accidents. Riders have far less protection, which means injuries are often more serious. A crash that might leave a car driver with minor injuries can leave a motorcyclist with a brain injury, spinal cord injury, broken bones, internal injuries, road rash, chronic pain, or a life-changing disability.
After a serious motorcycle accident, it is common to feel overwhelmed. You may not know whether to speak with the insurance company, how to apply for accident benefits, who will pay for treatment, or whether you have a claim against the driver who caused the crash.
That is where we help.
Neinstein's motorcycle accident lawyers guide injured riders through the entire process. We investigate what happened, protect your rights, help arrange medical and rehabilitation support, and build a claim that reflects the full impact of your injuries.
Whether your crash happened in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Scarborough, Hamilton, Ottawa, London, Barrie, Windsor, Kingston, Sudbury, or anywhere else in Ontario, our team is here to help.

What am I entitled to after a motorcycle accident?
You may be entitled to two sources of injury claim for your motor vehicle accident:
- Claim against the "at fault" driver. This can be filed through a "tort claim"
- Collect vehicle accident benefits. This is collected through your automobile insurance company or car insurance policy of any other vehicle in the accident
- Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers can help you come to terms with these issues and ensure you are protected under the laws of the Ontario government

How Dangerous Are Motorcycle Accidents in Ontario?
Motorcyclists make up a small portion of drivers on Ontario roads. But they account for a large share of serious and fatal collisions every year.
The numbers are sobering.
Know Your Rights
If you've been seriously hurt in a motorcycle accident in Ontario, you may be entitled to far more compensation than the insurance company first offers. Talk to a motorcycle accident lawyer before you accept anything.
Why Motorcycle Accident Claims Are Often More Complex
Motorcycle accident claims can be harder than they should be. Injured riders are sometimes treated unfairly by insurers, adjusters, or opposing parties. There may be assumptions that the rider was speeding, taking risks, or somehow responsible simply because they were on a motorcycle.
Those assumptions are not evidence.
A strong motorcycle accident claim requires careful investigation. Our lawyers look at the full picture, including police reports, witness statements, dashcam or surveillance footage, vehicle damage, road design, weather, driver behaviour, medical evidence, and expert opinions where needed.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
- Drivers turning left across a rider's path
- Distracted driving
- Unsafe lane changes
- Failure to check blind spots
- Speeding
- Impaired driving
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Dooring incidents
- Poor road conditions
- Potholes, debris, or unsafe construction zones
- Collisions involving trucks, SUVs, or commercial vehicles
If a road defect contributed to the crash, there may also be a claim against a municipality, province, contractor, or road authority. These cases can involve much shorter notice periods, so it is important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.
Book A Free ConsultationThe Bias Against Motorcycle Riders And How We Fight It
What Many Motorcycle Accident Victims Don't Know:
Insurance companies often treat motorcycle claims differently. They may assume the rider was reckless, even without any evidence. They may offer a lower settlement. They may push back harder. This is called motorcyclist bias. And it's unfair.
Our motorcycle accident lawyers see it happen regularly. Here's how it shows up:
- Higher premiums, lower payouts:
Motorcycle insurance costs more in Ontario. But that higher cost doesn't translate into fairer treatment when you file a claim. Insurers still look for reasons to minimize your settlement. - Questionable medical assessments:
Some insurers use Independent Medical Examiners (IMEs) who understate the severity of injuries. We challenge these findings directly and bring in our own medical experts. - Unfair fault assumptions:
Adjusters sometimes assume a motorcycle rider must have been riding dangerously without any proof. We build a strong evidence record: witness statements, police reports, accident reconstruction, and more. - Low initial offers:
The first settlement offer from an insurer is almost always too low. Our motor vehicle accident lawyers in Toronto don't accept lowball offers. We negotiate from evidence and we go to court if we need to.
If you're looking for a motor vehicle accident lawyer near you, know this: Neinstein has been fighting this kind of bias for decades. You do not have to face it alone.
Book A Free ConsultationWhat Should You Do After a Motorcycle Accident in Ontario?
The steps you take after a motorcycle accident can affect both your health and your legal claim. If you are seriously hurt, your first priority should always be medical care. Once you are safe, these steps can help protect your rights.
Call 911 and report the accident
Police documentation can become important evidence. If you were injured, if another vehicle was involved, or if there was significant damage, the accident should be reported.
Get Medical Attention Right Away
Some serious injuries are not obvious immediately. Concussions, internal injuries, soft tissue damage, and spinal injuries can become worse over time. Medical records also help connect your injuries to the accident.
Collect information if you can
Get the other driver's name, contact information, licence plate, insurance details, and witness information. If you cannot do this yourself, ask someone nearby to help.
Take photos or videos
If possible, document the scene, road conditions, vehicle positions, damage to your motorcycle, your injuries, traffic signs, debris, weather, and anything else that may explain what happened.
Notify your insurance company
Ontario's accident benefits system has strict notice requirements. After a motorcycle accident, you should notify your insurer as soon as possible so you can begin the accident benefits process.
Speak with a motorcycle accident lawyer before giving statements to the other insurer
The other driver's insurance company is not there to protect you. Before giving a recorded statement or accepting an offer, get legal advice from a personal injury lawyer. A free consultation can help you understand what your claim may be worth and what deadlines apply.
What Compensation Can You Claim After a Motorcycle Accident?
In Ontario, there are usually two possible paths to compensation after a motorcycle accident: accident benefits and a claim against the at-fault party.
Accident benefits
Accident benefits are available through the auto insurance system, regardless of who caused the crash. These benefits may help pay for income replacement, medical treatment, rehabilitation, attendant care, housekeeping support, and other accident-related needs.
For many injured riders, these benefits are essential in the early stages of recovery. They can help cover treatment and financial pressure while the larger legal claim is being investigated.
A claim against the at-fault driver
If another driver caused or contributed to the motorcycle accident, you may also have a claim against that driver. This type of claim may include compensation for pain and suffering, past and future income loss, future care costs, out-of-pocket expenses, and the long-term impact of the injury on your life.
In some cases, family members may also have a claim for the loss of care, guidance, and companionship. If a motorcycle crash results in a fatal injury, our wrongful death lawyers can help the family understand their options.
Neinstein can help you understand which claims apply, what your case may be worth, and how to pursue every available source of compensation.
Even If You Were Partly at Fault - You Can Still Claim
Ontario's contributory negligence law means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible for the accident. Your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault but you don't lose your right to claim. Talk to one of our motorcycle accident lawyers before making any assumptions.
Important Deadlines Following a Motorcycle Accident in Ontario
Ontario injury claims have strict deadlines. Some are short. Waiting too long can affect your ability to claim benefits or pursue compensation.
Don't Wait - Call Us Today
Because deadlines can change depending on the facts of the case, the safest approach is to get legal advice as early as possible. Even if you are not sure whether you have a claim, Neinstein can help you understand your next step.

Frequently Asked Questions About Motorcycle Accident Claims in Ontario
Do I need a lawyer after a motorcycle accident?
If you were seriously injured, missed work, needed medical treatment, or are being contacted by an insurance company, it is wise to speak with a lawyer. Motorcycle accident claims can involve accident benefits, fault disputes, long-term care needs, and unfair assumptions about riders. A lawyer can protect your rights before mistakes are made.
What does a motorcycle accident lawyer cost?
Neinstein offers free consultations and handles personal injury claims on a contingency fee basis. That means you do not pay upfront legal fees, and there are no legal fees unless your case is successful.
Can I claim accident benefits after a motorcycle crash?
You may be able to claim statutory accident benefits through the auto insurance system, regardless of who caused the crash. These benefits may help with income replacement, medical treatment, rehabilitation, attendant care, and other recovery-related needs.
Can I sue the driver who hit me?
If another driver's negligence caused or contributed to the accident, you may be able to bring a claim against that driver. This may include compensation for pain and suffering, income loss, future care costs, and the long-term impact of your injuries.
What if the insurance company says I was partly at fault?
Do not assume the insurer is right. Fault should be based on evidence, not assumptions. Even if you were partly at fault, you may still have a claim. A lawyer can investigate the collision and challenge an unfair assessment.
What if poor road conditions caused my motorcycle accident?
If potholes, debris, unsafe construction, poor signage, or road maintenance issues contributed to the crash, there may be a claim against a municipality, province, contractor, or road authority. These cases can involve short notice deadlines, so legal advice should be sought quickly.
How long do I have to start a motorcycle accident claim in Ontario?
There are several deadlines. Many personal injury lawsuits are subject to a two-year limitation period, but accident benefits and municipal road claims may involve much shorter timelines. Speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What compensation can I receive after a motorcycle accident?
