About Antonov Kaganovich LLP

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Antonov Kaganovich LLP is a Toronto personal injury firm, and its clients are injured people only: it never acts for insurance companies. The caseload runs from road crashes and slip-and-fall injuries to medical malpractice and product liability, along with claims over police misconduct, assault and civil sexual assault. Every file sits with a licensed Ontario lawyer rather than a paralegal.

Alexei Antonov and Alina Kaganovich founded the firm and lead it as its two partners. Antonov has spent more than 18 years in personal injury work and holds a Juris Doctor from the University of Windsor, with a final year of study at Osgoode Hall Law School. Antonov is a regular at the Superior Court of Justice and the Licence Appeal Tribunal.

Kaganovich studied law at the University of Ottawa and took a specialized honours degree in psychology at York University, a background put to use supporting clients for as long as their cases last. Kaganovich appears in the Superior Court of Justice, the Ontario Court of Justice and the Licence Appeal Tribunal. Associate lawyer Bassan Hagos articled in-house in insurance defence and now uses that insight into how insurers weigh claims to anticipate the other side's arguments.

The team serves clients in more than 20 languages, including French, Russian, Punjabi and Tagalog, and plenty of clients never need to visit the office, since whole matters can run by phone and video. The first consultation costs nothing, no legal fees are owed unless the claim succeeds, and the fee percentage is fixed in writing before work starts.

History

Alexei Antonov started out as a clerk at a large Toronto personal injury firm, then worked at a law firm right through law school. After graduating, Antonov articled at a smaller Toronto injury practice, stayed on as an associate after the call to the Ontario bar, and then set up Antonov Law Firm, the predecessor of Antonov Kaganovich LLP. By 2016 Antonov Law Firm was already working solely on the plaintiff side, for injured individuals.

Practice areas

Motor vehicle accidents

Antonov Kaganovich brings claims against at-fault drivers and their insurers after car, truck, motorcycle and cyclist crashes, and also handles pedestrian, rideshare, hit-and-run, transit and impaired-driving collisions. When a client has both an accident-benefits claim and a lawsuit, the firm runs the two side by side so no deadline is missed.

Accident benefits and catastrophic impairment

The firm pursues no-fault accident benefits from a client's own insurer, whoever caused the crash, and takes disputes over those benefits to the Licence Appeal Tribunal. For the most serious injuries it seeks a catastrophic impairment designation to open up higher benefit limits, and Alina Kaganovich's practice gives special attention to catastrophic impairments and traumatic brain injuries.

Long-term disability

Antonov Kaganovich acts against disability insurers that refuse or terminate long-term disability benefits, seeking back benefits, continuing payments or a lump-sum settlement through negotiation, mediation or a lawsuit. Securing the limitation period comes first, as it's often the most pressing issue once a denial arrives.

Slip, trip and fall

Claims go against the owners and occupiers of unsafe or badly maintained premises. The firm acts fast to serve notice inside the short deadlines and to ask for video and maintenance records before they disappear, and it looks for every party who may share the blame, snow-removal contractors included.

Medical malpractice and product liability

The firm sues medical practitioners whose negligent care injured a patient, retaining independent medical specialists to address the standard of care and causation. It also brings claims against manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies among them, over unsafe or defective products, with outside specialists engaged to examine the defect and link it to the injury.

Police misconduct, assault and civil sexual assault

Antonov Kaganovich sues police over injuries from excessive force, wrongful arrest or detention, assault or battery, collecting records and video quickly before they're lost. Assault claims can name the attacker and any business or institution whose negligence played a part, and survivors of sexual assault or abuse can bring confidential civil claims, which have no limitation period in Ontario.

How Antonov Kaganovich LLP works

Each client gets service shaped to that particular case. Antonov Kaganovich readies every file for trial from the outset, so the case can go ahead if talks don't bring a fair result; for accident benefits that can mean an application to the Licence Appeal Tribunal, and for a lawsuit the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. Where an accident-benefits claim and a lawsuit run at once, the firm handles them together so a step in one can't undercut the other.

To document injuries and losses, the firm works alongside a client's treating doctors and, when a case needs it, brings in medical, engineering, economic or other qualified professionals. Clients get one clear contact person, plain-language updates and returned calls.

Milestones & recognition

  • Alexei Antonov previously appeared at the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO), gaining significant arbitration experience there.
