Derek Wilson Personal Injury and Disability Law is a solo personal injury and disability firm based in Hamilton, Ontario, with an office on Bold Street. Founder Derek Wilson began practicing law in 1993, articling with Stanley M. Tick & Associates in Hamilton, then earned a Master of Laws degree with Merit from the London School of Economics in 1997. Wilson went on to become a partner at a small Toronto firm specializing in insurance defence litigation, a role that offered a close look at how insurers evaluate and contest claims. Wilson returned to Hamilton in 2009 to represent injured people instead, practicing at Malhotra, Stayshyn & Wilson until opening this firm in 2013.

The firm concentrates on personal injury and disability claims: car, truck, motorcycle, and bicycle accidents, pedestrian and rideshare collisions, slip and falls, traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, chronic pain, wrongful death, and denied long-term or short-term disability benefits. It's a contingency practice, with fees capped at 33% plus HST of the amount recovered and the first consultation free. Wilson has been recognized in The Best Lawyers in Canada for personal injury litigation since 2021, and the firm holds a tier 1 regional ranking for personal injury litigation from Best Law Firms in the Hamilton area.
