There are several steps you can take to ensure the safety of yourself and your loved ones—and find the help you need—after a medical malpractice incident has occurred.

Frequently asked questions

At Leone Murray LLP, we represent clients in a wide range of personal injury cases, including motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, pedestrian accidents, wrongful death claims, and accident benefit disputes. Our goal is to help you recover compensation for your injuries and losses.

We operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you do not pay any legal fees upfront. Our fees are only paid if we successfully recover compensation for you through a settlement or court award.

With our contingency fee arrangement, you do not have to pay any upfront legal fees. We advance the majority of necessary costs to move your case forward.

Our contingency fee percentage is competitive and complies with Ontario law. The exact percentage will be clearly explained and outlined in your retainer agreement during our first consultation, so there are no surprises.

If we are not successful in recovering compensation for you, you do not owe us any legal fees. However, you may still be responsible for certain disbursements (out-of-pocket expenses) unless otherwise agreed upon.

In Ontario, the general limitation period to file a personal injury claim is two years from the date of the accident or injury. However, there are exceptions and strict notice requirements for certain cases (e.g., municipal claims), so it’s important to consult a lawyer as soon as possible.

For your first consultation, please bring any relevant documents, including medical records, accident reports, insurance information, photographs of your injuries or accident scene and any correspondence with insurance companies.

The timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the case and whether it settles or goes to trial. Many cases settle within 1–3 years, but more complex matters may take longer. We are committed to moving your case forward efficiently while maximizing your compensation.

Yes. If you are dissatisfied with your current representation, you have the right to change lawyers. We can assist with a smooth transition and ensure your rights are protected throughout the process.

We believe in open, frequent communication. You will receive regular updates regarding your case’s progress, and you are always welcome to contact us with any questions or concerns at any time.

What our clients say

“I couldn’t have been more happy with the outcome. James and his team were caring and compassionate from the start of a very long and trying case. They were always available and helpful to answer any questions and explain the process. Without their compassion and perseverance I’m sure things would have turned out differently, they had my back and I trusted them. They were committed to me and ensuring I would get the settlement I deserved, they stood by my side to the end. It would be hard to express how grateful I am to have had Leone Murray LLP as my representation.”

Adam Knight

“I can’t thank Leone Murray and their team enough for the outstanding service they provided for my dad. As his daughter, I was nervous about the legal process, but Michael Unea was always available to answer our questions and address any concerns we had, no matter the time. They made sure we felt informed and supported every step of the way. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my dad’s case truly made a difference. We are so grateful for everything they did to help my dad and his case.”

Lucia Verrelli

“James Leone represented me in an MVA case. The experience was emotional and stressful but I had James fully on my side and he was the best advocate for me. James is very transparent, passionate about his work and gets results. Even in high emotion situations, James remains a calming presence to be around. Endless thanks on helping me reach a fair outcome in my case!”

Michelle M

“I was very skeptical at retaining someone to help me with my injury but the team at Leone Murray LLP actually listened to what I had to say and sympathized with what I went through. It was through hard work, perseverance and dedication that Leone Murray LLP reached a settlement that helped me move on with my life. David Edwards is a fantastic litigator and his commitment to professionalism was consistent throughout my ordeal.”

Andrij Dykowytsch

“James and his team were extremely helpful, represented both myself and my young daughter for many years after being involved in a motor vehicle accident. James made us feel comfortable and developed a great trusting client relationship with us. He was always there to offer help and advice when needed. I would highly recommend James and his team to represent anyone that needs professional representation with their case. They definitely know what they are doing! Keep up the great work!”
