Steadfast Commitment

Delivering Results for Injured Clients Across Ontario Since 1972

Since 1972, Bergel Magence Personal Injury Lawyers has helped injured people and their families pursue justice, financial compensation and access to essential care. Our Toronto personal injury lawyers combine more than 50 years of firm experience with a practical, client-focused approach. We understand that a serious injury can affect your health, employment, independence, finances and family life. Our goal is to protect your legal rights, reduce the stress of the claims process and help you secure the support needed to move forward.

Our Ontario personal injury law firm represents clients injured in car accidents, motorcycle crashes, truck accidents, pedestrian accidents, bicycle and e-bike accidents, impaired driving collisions, distracted driving accidents and hit-and-run incidents. We also handle accident benefits disputes, slip and fall claims, dog bites and attacks, medical malpractice cases, product liability claims, long-term disability insurance disputes and wrongful death claims. Our lawyers have extensive experience with traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, chronic pain and other serious or catastrophic injuries.

Bergel Magence was founded by Hy Bergel, a respected figure in Ontario’s legal community and a former Provincial Court Deputy Judge. Today, the firm is led by Ilan Bergel, Andrew Bergel and Jeremy Magence, who continue its longstanding commitment to injured clients. As a multigenerational Toronto personal injury law firm, we combine decades of legal expertise with a modern, highly personalized approach to client service.

Our value is clear: experienced legal representation, individual attention and determined advocacy from the beginning of a claim through settlement or trial. We investigate the accident, identify every responsible party, collect medical and financial evidence, consult qualified experts and deal directly with insurance companies. We build each personal injury claim around the full impact of the client’s injuries, including medical expenses, rehabilitation needs, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care costs. With no upfront legal fees and no fees unless we recover compensation, you can focus on your health and recovery while our legal team pursues the best possible result.

Why Choose Bergel Magence Personal Injury Lawyers

Choosing the right personal injury lawyer can make a significant difference in your experience and the outcome of your claim. An experienced lawyer should know how to build strong personal injury cases, document serious injuries and calculate current and future losses. This may include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, future care needs, and pain and suffering. At Bergel Magence, our legal team provides clear advice, responsive communication and determined representation throughout the litigation process.

Before hiring a lawyer, ask about their experience with cases like yours, their approach to communication and their willingness to proceed to trial when necessary. Most personal injury lawyers handle injury claims, but experience, service and strategy can vary. Bergel Magence represents clients injured in motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian collisions, slip-and-fall accidents, dog attacks and other serious incidents. During your free consultation, you can discuss what happened, explore your legal options and learn how our legal services may help. We offer practical guidance without pressure or obligation.

We handle eligible claims through a contingency fee arrangement. This means you pay no upfront legal fees, and our fees are only charged if we recover compensation for you. We explain the contingency fee agreement clearly before you retain our firm, including how fees and case expenses will be handled. From investigating the accident and gathering evidence to negotiating with insurance companies and presenting a case in court, our lawyers work to protect your rights and pursue compensation that reflects the full impact of your injuries.

Helping You Get Justice For Your Serious Injury

A serious injury can affect every part of your life, including your health, employment, finances, independence and relationships with loved ones. At Bergel Magence, our highly skilled Ontario personal injury lawyers represent people injured in car accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian collisions, slip and falls and other serious incidents. We have a deep understanding of traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, chronic pain, fractures, psychological trauma and catastrophic impairments.

Building a strong personal injury claim requires detailed evidence and careful preparation. An experienced personal injury lawyer will investigate the accident, identify all responsible parties and gather medical records, police reports, witness statements, photographs, employment documents and expert assessments. We work closely with our clients, healthcare providers and qualified experts to document medical treatment, rehabilitation needs, lost income, reduced earning capacity and future care costs.

Many clients prefer to resolve their cases through a fair settlement. However, an insurance company may deny liability, question the severity of an injury or offer less compensation than a claim is worth. Our highly skilled personal injury litigators prepare every case carefully and are ready to proceed to trial when necessary. This trial-ready approach can strengthen negotiations and protect your right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, future care and other losses.

Choosing a good personal injury lawyer is an important decision for you and your family. You can confirm a lawyer’s licence and current standing through the Law Society of Ontario. At Bergel Magence, we provide clear advice, regular updates and determined representation throughout the legal process. Eligible claims are handled on a contingency fee basis, which means clients pay no upfront fees and legal fees are only charged if compensation is recovered. We explain the fee agreement, potential outcomes and next steps before you decide how to proceed.

MORE THAN LAWYERS – A FAMILY FIGHTING FOR YOURS

Bergel Magence LLP is truly a family-focused personal injury law firm. When founder Hy Bergel, a personal injury law pioneer who has won several multi-million-dollar awards for personal injury victims, started his legal practice over 50 years ago, he never imagined that it would become a labour of love for three generations. With a strong desire to help others, sons Andrew and Ilan grew up wanting nothing more than to be lawyers like their father.

The focus on family goes far beyond the firm’s management structure; it is the very core of the firm. Bergel Magence LLP comprises numerous highly experienced personal injury lawyers and legal professionals who are united in their commitment to helping seriously injured accident victims. Our goal is to provide expert legal advice and highly compassionate and personalized service to all our clients and fight for fairness against insurance companies.

We are our clients activists, crusaders and advocates, and we go head-to-head with the big insurance companies to relentlessly fight for the best solutions. We strive to obtain the most positive financial outcomes and help our clients return to a normal life as quickly and seamlessly as possible. Being injured is not fair, but what is most unfair is that insurance companies can try to take advantage of these fragile situations for their own betterment. Our laser-beam focus is making sure that doesn’t happen. Our clients deserve – and will receive – exemplary treatment and support with our relentless commitment to them.

We are passionate about people and we have been told that our compassion shows. It matters to us not only that you receive a just and fair settlement, but that the claims process is smooth, thorough and the service you receive along the way is empathetic, respectful and friendly. We ensure each and every client gets the individual attention they require and settlement they deserve.
