About Lane Foster

Lane Foster founded Foster Injury Law and has devoted an entire legal career to helping people hurt in accidents, and their families, recover compensation. The work is personal injury litigation and nothing else, with a focus on serious car crash cases, catastrophic injuries and disputes with insurers. Lane's clients come from Barrie, Kitchener and communities right across Ontario.

Lane earned a Juris Doctor at the University of Manitoba and made the Deans' Honour List there. Law school also meant time as senior editor of the Asper Review of International Business and Trade Law and as a research assistant for the Faculty of Law, and in 2014 the Asper Review published Lane's article on how Canadian law responded to OECD criticism under the corruption convention. Lane also clerked at the Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench, handling legal research and analysis for its judges.

Lane's practice is built around litigation. If a file can't be resolved, it moves through discoveries, motions, mediation, arbitration and, when needed, trial. Lane appears regularly in trials before the Superior Court of Justice and in statutory accident benefits arbitrations at the Licence Appeal Tribunal, and Lane's name appears as counsel in reported decisions from both.

Lane also writes educational guides on Ontario accident benefits law, covering subjects like the Minor Injury Guideline, catastrophic impairment and the serious impairment threshold. Away from work, Lane played soccer and kept up regular workouts as of 2019.
