Directories
Personal injury law firms in Ontario
Plaintiff and defence firms across Ontario that run SABS, LAT, catastrophic, and LTD files. Verify counsel in the Law Society of Ontario directory, then order the examination against the file.
The problem
SABS files need the right assessor and the right form
Ontario auto claims run under the SABS regime, with insurer examinations, catastrophic impairment disputes, and LAT appeals. Each step names its own assessor qualifications and its own timelines. The wrong assessor or the wrong question restarts the file.
- The referral asks for an assessment the SABS regime does not recognize.
- A catastrophic impairment dispute needs assessors the LAT will accept.
- The limitation clock runs while records sit outstanding.

What IMECore does about it
Start from the LSO directory
The Law Society of Ontario directory lists lawyers and licensed paralegals. Confirm standing there, then keep counsel on the case.
Match the assessor to the SABS question
Insurer examinations, attendant care, catastrophic impairment. IMECore matches specialty and qualifications to the question asked.
Watch the limitation clock
Ontario limitation periods punish slow files. The case shows the report date against the deadline from day one.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Where do I verify an Ontario lawyer?
In the Law Society of Ontario lawyer and paralegal directory. Search by name, practice area, or city to confirm standing. Ontario also licenses paralegals, who appear in the same directory.
What is an insurer examination under SABS?
An assessment the insurer arranges to decide benefit entitlement under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule. The regime sets which assessors qualify and which forms apply. IMECore runs the booking, the records, and the report on one case.
How do catastrophic impairment assessments work?
They decide whether the impairment meets the catastrophic threshold in the SABS. The file usually needs more than one assessor across disciplines. IMECore coordinates each assessment against the same case and the same deadline.
Which Ontario cities do you serve?
Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, London, and the rest of the province, plus video assessments where the regime allows. See the Ontario locations page for coverage detail. Travel and interpreter needs go on the referral.

Insurer Examination
An assessment an Ontario auto insurer arranges under Section 44 of the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS), the provision that lets the insurer require a person claiming benefits to attend an examination. Adjusters order one when they need an opinion on diagnosis, causation, or whether benefits should continue.
