Cariati Law is a tort litigation firm. Its work centres on personal injury, long-term disability, wrongful dismissal and other insurance claims, and it regularly represents people from Toronto, Mississauga, Hamilton, Ottawa, Sudbury, Barrie and Kitchener, along with surrounding communities such as Oakville, Burlington, Brantford and Guelph.
Mario Cariati knows serious injury first-hand. As a boy, Mario suffered a catastrophic injury to the right arm, and a team of doctors, nurses and rehabilitation staff at Sick Kids Hospital saved both the arm and Mario’s life. Mario credits that positive experience at Sick Kids with the decision to become a lawyer.
Paralegals work closely with clients the whole way through, with the aim of giving compassionate support and efficient help on each case. Whether the problem is an injury, a disability or something at work, the team commits to being available 24/7 to review it, and virtual appointments over Zoom are there for anyone who’d find a remote meeting more convenient.
With offices in Mississauga, Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, Kitchener, Barrie and Sudbury, the firm serves clients across Ontario. Consultations are free, and there’s no fee unless the firm wins.
Cariati Law’s Toronto bicycle accident lawyers have experience with claims involving cyclists. After a bike crash, the firm researches how the accident happened, secures the medical bills and hospital records, and looks at the client’s current and future medical needs. On car accident claims, its case managers and investigators take care of gathering the proof needed to recover the client’s total damages.
Ontario families facing a catastrophic claim get help from Cariati Law, whether the harm is an amputation, a fracture, severe burns, or a complex injury to the brain or spinal cord. Its lawyers regularly handle catastrophic impairment assessments and the claims that go with them, such as attendant care and rehabilitation, and they fit those claims together with long-term disability benefits.
Beyond road accidents, Cariati Law offers a free, no-obligation consultation to people hurt in a boating accident or a slip and fall, harmed by a defective product or medical malpractice, or dealing with a wrongful death. Its dog bite lawyers also help clients with dog bite claims.
When an insurer refuses, delays, cuts off or ends long-term disability benefits, Cariati Law’s LTD lawyers work to get those benefits approved. It helps with the details of a claim no matter how the coverage came about, whether through an employer or through an individual plan bought directly from an insurance company.
Cariati Law helps employees across Ontario with constructive dismissal, disputes over just cause, workplace discrimination and human rights issues, and reviews of employment contracts, including non-compete and non-solicit terms. When a job ends, it reviews the termination letter and severance package, works out what the severance may be worth and negotiates directly with the employer or the employer’s lawyer.
Every case is assigned to an injury and disability team made up of lawyers, law clerks and client support representatives. Staff share common work attitudes and work in a collaborative environment.
Fees follow the Cariati Law Promise. Clients never pay a lawyer’s fee up front, the firm is paid only after it settles the case, and if there’s no recovery, there’s no lawyer’s fee.

Frequently asked questions
Will Cariati Law visit me at home or in hospital if I can't travel after an accident?
Yes. Free home and hospital visits are available for clients who can’t travel, along with free case evaluations and free phone appointments.
What goes into the Demand Brochure that Cariati Law sends to an insurer?
Cariati Law prepares a Demand Brochure, a detailed document covering the facts, the client's injuries and treatment, and the firm's own assessment of the claim. After going over the relevant information with the client and getting the client's authority, the firm sends it to the at-fault party's insurer. After each offer comes in, the client is told how much money they'd actually net.
Can I work with Cariati Law in Italian, Mandarin or Hindi?
Yes. Services are available in Italian, Mandarin and Hindi, as well as French, Cantonese, Russian and several other languages.
Does Cariati Law give clients a settlement range and a verdict range for their case?
Yes. Cariati Law goes through every option with the client, from settling with the insurer to going to trial, and shares what similar cases have settled for along with where it believes the settlement range and the verdict range of the case sit. If the client would rather not settle and wants a jury to decide what the case is worth, that’s acceptable too, and the firm commits to doing everything in its power to obtain the verdict.
Does Cariati Law help beneficiaries when a life insurer won't pay a death benefit?
Yes. Cariati Law’s life insurance benefits lawyers deal with denied death benefit claims. An insurer’s reasons for a denial can include alleged false information on an application, a lapsed policy or a dispute over the coverage terms.
How soon does settlement money usually arrive after a client accepts the insurer’s final offer?
If the client accepts the final offer, the settlement money is usually in the client’s hands in 30 days.
