Mississauga Accident Hotspots

Several Mississauga corridors see a disproportionate share of serious collisions. Take particular care along:

  • Highway 401 and the 401/403/410 interchange
  • The QEW through Mississauga and the Hurontario Street corridor
  • Highway 403 and Eglinton Avenue interchanges
  • Dixie Road and Dundas Street intersections
  • Airport-area routes around Highway 427 and Derry Road

What to Do After a Collision

  1. 1

    Check for injuries and call 911

    Make sure everyone is safe. Call 911 for any injury and request police if there is significant damage. A police report strengthens an insurance and injury claim.

  2. 2

    Document the scene

    Photograph vehicle positions, damage, licence plates, road conditions and visible injuries. Collect names, contact details and insurance information from all parties and witnesses.

  3. 3

    Report the collision

    Report to your insurer promptly and, where required, to a Collision Reporting Centre within 24 hours. Do not admit fault at the scene.

  4. 4

    Get medical attention

    See a doctor even if you feel fine — some injuries surface days later. Medical records create the timeline that supports your accident benefits and tort claim.

  5. 5

    Speak to a personal injury lawyer

    Before signing anything from an insurer, get legal advice. Ontario has strict deadlines, and early advice protects both your accident benefits and your right to sue.

Understanding Your Rights

After a crash in Ontario you may be entitled to two kinds of compensation: no-fault accident benefits through your own insurer, and a tort claim against the at-fault party for pain, suffering and losses beyond what benefits cover.

Deadlines are strict — a lawsuit generally must start within two years, while some accident-benefit notices are due within days. Speak with UL Lawyers before dealing with any insurer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to make a claim after a Mississauga car accident? +

Generally two years from the accident date to start a lawsuit, but accident-benefit notices can be due within days. Speak to a lawyer immediately so you do not lose a right by missing a deadline.

Which insurer pays after a crash in Mississauga? +

Ontario is a no-fault province, so your own insurer pays your accident benefits regardless of who caused the crash. A separate tort claim can be made against the at-fault driver for losses beyond those benefits.

What if I was hit on the QEW or Highway 401? +

Highway collisions often involve serious injuries and multiple vehicles. Get the police report number and seek legal advice early — fault and insurance issues on high-speed roads can be complex.

How much does a Mississauga personal injury lawyer cost? +

UL Lawyers handles motor vehicle accident claims on contingency — no legal fees unless we recover compensation for you. The first consultation is free.

Should I accept the insurance company's first offer? +

Not before legal advice. First offers are frequently far below the full value of a claim and may ignore future care and lost income. Have a lawyer review any offer first.
