Personal injury litigation trends
⚖️ Personal Injury Litigation Trends in Canada – What to Watch in 2025 🇨🇦
Canada’s personal injury landscape is undergoing significant change, with emerging trends reshaping how claims are filed, assessed, and litigated. From motor vehicle accidents to slip-and-fall cases, staying informed is essential for legal professionals, insurers, and policyholders alike.
📈 Rising Claim Complexity
The increasing reliance on medical experts, psychological assessments, and evolving definitions of “catastrophic impairment” is adding layers of complexity—and cost—to many claims.
🚗 Auto Reform & Threshold Shifts
Provinces such as Ontario are reviewing no-fault systems and adjusting monetary thresholds for pain and suffering. These reforms are influencing both the volume and valuation of claims proceeding to litigation.
🧠 Mental Health & Chronic Pain Claims
Courts are seeing a growing number of cases involving PTSD, anxiety, and chronic pain. These conditions are difficult to quantify and often lead to longer, more intricate litigation.
💻 Technology & Emerging Evidence
Evidence from dash cams, social media, and wearable devices is becoming more common, introducing new legal considerations around privacy, relevance, and admissibility.
🏛️ Access to Justice
With legal costs continuing to rise, more parties are turning to mediation and arbitration as alternatives to traditional courtroom battles.
The legal landscape is evolving. Are your strategies keeping pace?
