Auto Accident
Being involved in a motor vehicle accident (MVA) is life-changing. You may be plagued with permanent, chronic injuries that affect your ability to resume your activities of daily living. Whether you’ve sustained a concussion, fracture(s), ligament tear(s), or even a commonly diagnosed whiplash injury, victims should seek reputable legal representation immediately to ensure that their rights are protected. The team at Brar Tamber Rigby will explain your rights in simple terms and battle the insurance company and at-fault party to obtain the compensation that you deserve. We work diligently to ensure that our clients are provided with personalized representation to eliminate their stress and allow them to focus solely on healing and recovery. Your initial consultation is always free of charge, and you won’t owe us a fee until your case is resolved. If you’ve been involved in an MVA in the province of Ontario, whether you were a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian, you have the option of submitting a claim for Accident Benefits and/or a claim for damages against the at-fault party. The legal team at Brar Tamber Rigby understands the complexities of navigating through these claims. The laws regarding motor vehicle accidents continue to change, which is why it’s even more imperative for you to choose a reputable Personal Injury Lawyer.
COMPENSATION Accident Benefits Claim (No-Fault) Under the laws of the provincial government, the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS) mandates that all insurance companies in Ontario provide reparation for injuries. If you have been injured as a result of an MVA, you have the legal right to submit a claim for accident benefits, regardless of who is at fault. These benefits include:
You must consult with an experienced attorney to determine your eligibility to receive the foregoing benefits and to ensure that they are immediately paid following an accident. Tort Claim (At-Fault) An individual injured in an accident can pursue a claim against the at-fault party for various types of damages, including:
- Pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of past and future earnings as a result of an inability to work or compromise in the workforce
- Future care costs for medical treatment and attendant care
- Housekeeping and homemaking services
Ontario’s legislature continues to make it increasingly difficult to recover damages from at-fault parties. As a result, insurance companies vigorously defend lawsuits on the basis that injured victims do not satisfy the legal requirements to recover compensation. That is why you must contact an experienced Personal Injury Lawyer to advocate for your rights. The litigation team at Brar Tamber Rigby has years of experience and a reputation for relentlessly litigating tort claims to ensure that innocent victims receive the compensation they deserve. To an insurance company, you’re a claim number. To us, you’re living.
Pedestrian Hit Accident
Statistics reveal that over the years, there has been an increasingly high rate of pedestrian accidents in the province of Ontario. It is seen far too often that a split second of inattention behind a wheel can cause an innocent pedestrian to suffer a life of pain, disability, and financial hardship. The result of an impact between a motor vehicle and a pedestrian can be devastating, and can result in serious and catastrophic injuries. If you have been involved in a pedestrian accident, you have the right to receive compensation in the same manner as an individual who was involved in an MVA. You have access to the benefits available through the no-fault system for accident benefits, as well as the right to pursue an action against the at-fault motorist. The Lawyers at Brar Tamber Rigby are adept and experienced in proceedings that involve claims relating to victims who have been struck by a vehicle. COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE Accident Benefit Claim (No-Fault) If you have been injured as a result of being struck by a vehicle, you have the legal right to submit a claim for accident benefits, regardless of who is at fault. These benefits include:
Medical/Rehabilitation Benefits
Income Replacement Benefits
Non-Earner Benefits
Attendant Care Benefits
Housekeeping and Home Maintenance Benefits
Caregiver Benefits
Other expenses
It is important that you consult with an experienced attorney to determine your eligibility to receive the foregoing benefits and to ensure that they are immediately paid following an accident. Tort Claim (At-Fault) An individual struck by a motor vehicle can be left with long-term pain and suffering, or even permanent disfigurement. If you were not completely at fault, you may pursue a claim against the at-fault parties for various types of damages, including:
Loss of past and future earnings as a result of an inability to work or compromise in the workforce
Future care costs for medical treatment and attendant care
Housekeeping and homemaking services

Slip & Fall
It is important to know your rights when you slip and fall on someone else’s property as a result of a hazardous condition. It may be a patch of ice or snow that wasn’t properly removed from a parking lot, or a spill of juice that wasn’t cleaned in a supermarket. In either situation, the consequence of a slip and fall accident can be devastating and can impact your ability to carry out your activities of daily living. If you or a loved one has sustained an injury due to a slip and fall, the Lawyers at Brar Tamber Rigby have extensive experience in areas surrounding premise liability and occupier’s liability. Our clients are provided with dedicated and thorough legal counsel to ensure that they receive fair compensation. OCCUPIER’S LIABILITY ACT The Ontario government released the Occupiers’ Liability Act in 1990 to protect person(s) who suffered injuries as a result of a slip and fall. The Act was created to outline the responsibilities that an ‘occupier’ must carry forth to protect the safety of individuals on their premises. There are a variety of settings and circumstances where injuries occur as a result of a slip and fall. The government of Ontario has differentiated between occurrences on public or private property, as well as accidents that occur due to ‘condition of the premises’ or ‘by an activity carried on the premises’. It is important that property owners are diligent in maintaining safety standards that are aligned with the legislation DON’T WASTE ANY TIME If a fall occurs on municipal property, the law imposes strict timelines by which notice must be provided. It is important that you contact a Lawyer immediately so as to satisfy the notice requirements. The team at Brar Tamber Rigby is also equipped with the skills and resources necessary to carry out an immediate investigation of your fall to determine the extent to which the property owner was negligent. COMPENSATION FOR INJURIES If you suffer from a slip and fall accident and sustain injuries as a result, you may pursue an action against the occupier of the premises pursuant to the Occupier’s Liability Act. You may be entitled to damages for:
Pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life
Loss of past and future earnings as a result of an inability to work or compromise in the workforce
Future care costs for medical treatment and attendant care
Housekeeping and homemaking services
Call us today and speak to one of our experienced lawyers in our Litigation team for your free consultation. It is important that you understand your rights when you suffer from an injury that could have been avoided, had adequate measures and safeguards been in place.
Bicycle Accident
With the same respects to pedestrian accidents, injured persons who are involved in bicycle accidents are also protected under the Highway Traffic Act. A bicycle is considered a ‘vehicle’ and must adhere to strict rules and regulations while sharing the road. However, motor vehicles are still required, by law, to yield the right of way. While the government of Ontario works hard to maintain safe, clean and regulated roads, there are instances where cyclists become victims of collisions or surface hazards. Possible instances that may result in a bicycle accident include:
Potholes and construction
Driver infractions (ie- improper turns)
Impact with parked vehicle that suddenly open door
Congested roadways and traffic.
Family Member Claims
If you are injured as a result of a motor vehicle accident, pedestrian/bicycle accident, or slip and fall accident, your family members may have a claim pursuant to the Family Law Act (FLA). The Ontario legislature has recognized for years that losses suffered as a result of an injury extend well beyond the injured victim himself. Often, the lives of an injured person’s spouse and family members have also been irreparably affected as they support their injured family member through their recovery. Family members may have been dependent on the victim’s income, or in some cases, expended/lost money in order to provide the appropriate care or other services for the person. The lawyers at Brar Tamber Rigby understand the devastating impact that an accident can have on an entire family. If you or a family member is injured in an accident, it is imperative that you consult with an experienced Personal Injury Lawyer to explain your rights. The team at Brar Tamber Rigby has years of experience in litigating FLA claims and obtaining fair compensation for loved ones. COMPENSATION FOR FAMILY MEMBERS Compensation may be available to certain family members, including spouses, children, parents, grandchildren, and grandparents. The damages you may claim include:
Loss of income
Actual expenses reasonably incurred for the benefit of an injured person
Travel expenses actually incurred in visiting the person during treatment and recovery
Where, as a result of the injury, the person provides nursing, housekeeping or other services for the person, a reasonable allowance for the loss of income or the value of the services
Compensation for loss of guidance, care, and companionship that a person may have reasonable expected to receive had the injury not occurred
Short & Long Term Disability
Many employers offer ‘benefits’ to their employees, which are commonly understood to include physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage, and prescription expenses. However, disability benefits are typically overlooked and ignored. A large number of insurance policies offer benefits for short-term and long-term disability should you be unable to perform the duties of your occupation due to an injury or illness. It is always important to ask your employer if you have coverage for disability benefits in the event that you are unable to work. THE NEED FOR LEGAL REPRESENTATION Unfortunately, even if you do have coverage for disability benefits, you will face significant resistance from your insurer to pay your claim. You may be denied outright or your benefits may cease after a period of time. At Brar Tamber Rigby, we are committed to advocating on your behalf by challenging claim denials and vigorously pursuing appeals. Our team is experienced in litigating against Insurers to effect a reinstatement of your benefits, or settle your disability claim for past and future benefits.
CPP Disability
Canada Pension Plan (CPP) provides disability benefits to people who are unable to work in any capacity on a regular basis as a result of a disability. Benefits may also be available to their dependent children. In order to receive CPP disability benefits, you must satisfy the following criteria:
Suffer a severe and prolonged injury;
Under the age of 65;
Contributed to CPP in four of the last six years, or three of the last six years if you have contributed for at least 25 years.
WHY YOU NEED EXPERIENCED COUNSEL The government has the right to deny you CPP disability benefits if it determines that you not satisfy the eligibility criteria. This is typically due to their determination that you do not suffer from a ‘severe and prolonged injury’ on review of the medical evidence available. It is imperative that you secure legal representation from an experienced Personal Injury Lawyer to appeal a denial from CPP. At Brar Tamber Rigby, we have years of experience advocating through all stages of CPP disability appeals to get you a just result. Don’t let a denial letter prevent you from seeking the benefits you deserve. Call us today for your free consultation.

Shareholder Remedies
Shareholder rights are protected and outlined in the common law in Canada. A well-drafted agreement makes sure that a company’s directors and officers behave in such a way as to maximize shareholder earnings. Since there is generally more than one, disagreements and queries can arise when shareholders want to pursue different strategic goals or business opportunities.

- Business dissolution
- Violation of an agreement
- Fraud
- Forced buyout of shares
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Valuation disputes
- Share price disputes
- Termination of business relationships
Our professional approach and extensive experience can help both parties reach a resolution amicably and quickly. Schedule a one-on-one case consultation to understand your options and the best approach to take.
Injunctive Relief
An injunction is a legal remedy that can be requested and granted in different types of disputes. It represents the peak of a court’s discretion and authority and can be used to force a party to stop something they are doing and compel them to cooperate. Since injunctive relief is a specialized area of law, it’s best to seek counsel from a lawyer with the necessary experience. Indeed, the right lawyer can provide the right guidance. Their understanding of the different technical areas of the law allows them to offer strategic benefits to their clients. So, whether you or your company are responding to, seeking, are subjected to an order or injunction, or are affected by it, don’t wait to get legal representation and advice. At Brar Tamber Rigby, our team of lawyers knows how to optimize the chances of a favourable outcome for our clients.

Our experience in responding to and pursuing these remedies has allowed us to protect our clients’ interests while successfully dealing with complex injunctions.
Construction Liens
A construction lien registered on the title of a property gives the claimant protection for unpaid materials and/or services delivered for its improvement. This lien can only be discharged by the Court’s order, by an agreement between the parties, or on terms to offer protection to the claimant. According to the Ontario Construction Lien Act, when a builder, renovation contractor or construction manager hasn’t been compensated for their work, it is within their right to put a lien on the property. This means that the contractor or construction company places a hold on the work they are conducting on the property. If you are dealing with a legal dispute related to a construction lien, Brar Tamber Rigby can assist you with the necessary litigation. Our lawyers have handled numerous construction lien cases and can protect your rights in a construction contract. Whether you are the property owner, contractor or subcontractor, we can help by providing guidance to settle the dispute.
Franchise Litigation
Most franchisee/franchisor relationships tend to work well in the beginning when the agreement has been drafted properly. However, disagreements may arise owing to the longevity and complexity of the relationship. In such instances, it’s best to negotiate terms of settlement to handle disputes. However, there may be instances when franchise litigation is the only way to successfully resolve the dispute. This is a job for Brar Tamber Rigby’s general litigation lawyers in Ontario.
We can act on behalf of franchisees, franchisors, distributors, and dealerships to resolve disputes in connection with or arising out of business relationships. Our ongoing success stems from our understanding of the unique laws and concerns surrounding franchise litigation. We use our experience and knowledge to attain successful outcomes for our clients.

Assault & Domestic Assaults
Assault is one of the most basic forms of violence, and our lawyers can help defend you against charges of simple, aggravated, and domestic assault. There are three ways in which an assault may occur: physical assault, any form of physical touch such as groping, and statements to inflict harm or threatening words. Retaining one of our experienced lawyers to handle an assault charge can make a major difference in how the proceedings are conducted and the charges being filed. They will determine your options and work to achieve the best possible outcome.
Note: Domestic assault offences are taken especially seriously by Crown prosecutors, so the consequences of being found guilty are substantial.
Brar Tamber Rigby has obtained favourable results defending clients against assault and domestic assault offences. Our goal is to educate you on your rights and options, obtain relevant disclosures, and request any bail modifications while working towards the best possible outcome.
We will explain all of your options before entering a plea, including the possibility of avoiding a criminal record by completing a diversion program. We will also work to negotiate a deal with the prosecutor.
Criminal Harassment
Being charged with criminal harassment, including stalking, can cause financial and emotional distress.
To prove criminal harassment in court, the prosecutor will have to provide evidence that the accused:
- Repeatedly watched a place where the victim or complainant lives, carries on business, works, or happens to be.
- Communicated with them or someone they know, either indirectly or directly.
- Recurrently followed the complainant or someone they know.
- Used threatening behaviour or conduct towards the complainant or someone in their family.
The complainant must also establish that they were harassed and that the defendant engaged in the activity knowingly. Furthermore, the complainant must establish that they feared for their safety or of those they know and that the fear was reasonable.
Individuals facing these charges should hire Brar Tamber Rigby’s criminal defence lawyers to fight for their best possible outcome. We understand that a criminal record can have lifelong ramifications, so we give a lot of thought to determining the best possible course of action.
Threats and Uttering Death Threats
‘Uttering threats’ is a broad and vague charge that can mean almost anything. However, the most common charges related to these involve threats of bodily harm and/or death.
An individual can be charged with uttering threats when they knowingly convey or utter a threat towards another individual. It is not necessary for the threat to have a motive, nor does the accused have to carry it out. It may include a threat to cause bodily harm; burn, destroy or damage real or personal property; or death. It may also include the threat to injure or cause the death of an animal that the complainant owns.
The penalties for uttering threats and death threats include imprisonment for up to five years. When a threat is made to someone’s animal or real or personal property, the penalty can be imprisonment for up to two years when it’s an indictable offence.
If you or someone you know is facing charges for uttering threats, including death threats, contact Brar Tamber Rigby. Our experienced lawyers can utilize a variety of defences to suit your case’s particular circumstances. Contact us to obtain high-caliber legal counsel.
Drug Offences
Being convicted of a drug-related offence under Canada’s drug laws can result in a substantial jail sentence and criminal record. That can have a big impact on your future, including your current job and future employability. It can also affect your ability to travel.
An allegation of delivering or selling drugs, or of drug trafficking, can result in various penalties depending on the quantity and type of drugs. It’s one of the few criminal offences that can lead to a life sentence. Recent changes to drug possession and trafficking laws have introduced harsher minimum penalties for criminal drug-related activities.
With so much at stake, it’s important to hire an effective criminal defence lawyer who can provide strong representation. Our lawyers have experience defending our clients in both large-scale trafficking operations and small possessions cases. We conduct a thorough examination of the case to prepare a strong defence on your behalf. This can go a long way towards protecting your freedom and rights.
Weapons Offences
A weapons offence is one of the most serious charges that can be prosecuted in Canada. The use of any item, depending on the context, can lead to a weapons offence charge. Some examples include:
- Weapons trafficking
- Carrying dangerous weapons
- Possession of a weapon for the purpose of trafficking
- Carrying a weapon that is hidden
- Possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon
Weapons can be classified into different categories such as knives, firearms, and items that may not traditionally have been considered weapons. A weapon can also refer to any object that can be used to cause intentional injury, intimidation, or death. Being convicted of using a weapon while committing another offence, like an assault, can result in a much harsher penalty.
The team at Brar Tamber Rigby has the required experience to address such serious charges. If you or someone you know has been charged, do not wait to get in touch with us. A weapons charge can categorize you as a dangerous offender and have serious consequences. We know the law and the best ways to protect you against conviction, which can lead to a permanent record and substantial prison time.
DUI and Over 80
Drinking and driving offences are Criminal Code offences in Canada. A DUI (driving under the influence) offence can have severe consequences to both your insurance premiums and license. If found guilty, you are subject to harsh penalties that will affect your ability to travel as well as your current and future employment prospects. Remember: a driver can be charged if a police officer believes they are driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, has more than 80 mg blood alcohol content (BAC), or refuses to provide a breath sample.
‘Over 80’ is a common drinking & driving allegation that makes it an offence to drive with a blood alcohol content that exceeds 80 mg per 100 mg of blood. If the prosecutor can prove that you were driving with a blood-alcohol level that exceeds the legal limit, you will be found guilty. Over 80 means you:
- Consumed alcohol.
- Operated a motor vehicle.
- Were subjected to a breathalyser test and the reading was over the legal limit of 0.08.
Under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, the following penalties are imposed for those driving over 80:First Conviction
- Fines determined as per your blood alcohol content (BAC)
- A minimum $1,000 fine for BAC between 80 mg and 120 mg
- A $1,500 fine for BAC between 120 mg and 160 mg
- A $2,000 fine for BAC of 160 mg and above
- Mandatory vehicle impoundment
- A license suspension for a minimum of one year
Second Conviction
- A mandatory jail sentence of at least 30 days
- Mandatory vehicle impoundment
- A license suspension for a minimum of 2 years
Third and Subsequent Convictions
- A mandatory jail sentence for a minimum of 120 days
- Mandatory vehicle impoundment
- A licence suspension for a minimum of 3 years to life
If you are facing an Over 80 or DUI charge, contact Brar Tamber Rigby’s experienced lawyers. They specialize in driving-related offences and are recognized for their expertise in Over 80 charges, refusing a breathalyser and impaired driving cases. We will do everything in our power to prevent you from getting a criminal record and having your driver’s license suspended. This includes challenging the allegations by using different methods, including:
- Challenging the police officer’s reasoning for obtaining a breath sample.
- Challenge the technical aspects of the breath testing procedure or breathalyser.
- Exclusion of evidence because the police officer violated your rights.
However, it’s imperative that you consult with our lawyers at the earliest to successfully deal with the situation. You are entitled to seek legal help from a skilled criminal defence lawyer.
