If you believe that the City has been negligent in its maintenance of City facilities, roads, trees and sewers, which has caused bodily injury or damage to your property, you can submit a claim to the City of Toronto.
The Limitations Act generally requires you to initiate a legal action within two years from the date of the incident. Contact your lawyer for further information.
It’s important to know that the City of Toronto is not your insurer. If you have auto or property insurance, please consult with your insurance company or broker first for advice on how to deal with your loss. Your insurance coverage may be more extensive than what you can recover from the City.
For certain types of claims, you are required to submit notice of your claim within 10 days of the date of the incident. See the City of Toronto Act 2006 section 42(6).
