About Goldfinger Injury Lawyers

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Goldfinger Injury Lawyers acts only for people who've been seriously hurt in accidents, for long-term disability claimants, and for their families. When the firm was founded it promised never to take on cases for insurance companies, and it still holds to that promise today.

Brian Goldfinger is the founder and directing lawyer. Goldfinger studied for a Bachelor of Arts at York University, finishing in 2000 on the Dean's List, then took a Juris Doctor at the University of Windsor in 2003. The call to the bar, then the Law Society of Upper Canada, came in 2004.

Mohamed Kurdi came to the firm following a 2020 call to the Ontario bar and keeps a practice centred on plaintiff injury claims; Kurdi speaks Arabic as well as English. Emma Robertson took a law degree at the University of Leicester in the UK in 2018, was called in 2023, and was already working in injury law when the move to Goldfinger came.

Clients also get the help of an outside network of health professionals, from nurses and physiotherapists to psychologists and social workers, and none of them works for insurers either. You can meet the lawyers in Toronto or at meeting offices in London, Peterborough, Kitchener-Waterloo and Owen Sound. The first consultation is free, and once Goldfinger takes on a case, it doesn't ask for any legal fees until that case settles.

Practice areas

Car accidents

Goldfinger's lawyers act on car accident claims whether the client has a tort claim for pain and suffering, an accident benefits claim, or both. In T-bone collision cases, once a case has closed, the firm can obtain the full police file, including the Crown Brief, officers' notes and any reconstruction reports, by bringing a 30.10 motion in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

Brain injury

Brain injury cases are a particular focus at Goldfinger. The firm has put together its own team of medical and rehabilitation professionals to work with clients who've suffered a brain injury and with their families.

Disability insurance claims

Goldfinger handles short-term, long-term and mortgage disability claims, among others, and has dealt with all the major North American and international disability providers.

Fire loss claims

Its lawyers pursue property damage and fire loss benefits from a client's own property insurer. They also help displaced families find somewhere to stay while the fire damage gets repaired.

Slip and fall claims

Goldfinger handles slip and fall claims against property owners, both private owners and public ones such as cities and townships. Building the liability case means collecting the evidence: photos of the spot where the fall happened, winter maintenance and repair logs, statements from witnesses and engineering reports. A claim against a local municipality comes with a ten day limitation period to give it written notice of where the accident happened, the nature of the injury and how it happened.

Medical malpractice and birth injuries

Goldfinger has a doctor or medical expert in the relevant field review each malpractice case before it goes ahead; those opinions aren't free. For birth injury claims it can draw on registered delivery room nurses to comment on what should have happened.

Wrongful death

Goldfinger has its own team of wrongful death lawyers for fatality cases.

Pedestrian crashes

For pedestrian claims, the firm brings in forensic engineers to reconstruct the scene and work out how the car struck the person on foot.

Recreational vehicle accidents

Goldfinger's lawyers have acted for drivers and passengers hurt on snowmobiles, ATVs, dirt bikes, mopeds and other off-road machines.

Psychological injury and chronic pain

The firm builds psychological injury cases with psychiatrists, psychologists, neuropsychologists and other clinicians. It has recovered money for people with fibromyalgia in both long-term disability and car accident claims.

Product and food claims

Beyond defective products, Goldfinger has acted in claims against restaurants and food processors, both for contaminated food and for hard objects left in food.

Dog attacks

Goldfinger's dog bite cases have been covered by the National Post, the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, CBC and other outlets.

Assault claims

In assault claims, the firm works with OHIP so the Ontario government's subrogated interest is recovered.

How Goldfinger Injury Lawyers works

Nearly every Goldfinger file, 99.9% of them, is taken on contingency, with the percentage set by the nature of the case. The firm always works toward a fair settlement out of court, and it aims to keep its explanations free of legal jargon a client wouldn't follow. (Fees as of October 2026.)

Goldfinger commits to having a lawyer answer every call, email and question within 24 hours, and its support team is there to make sure that happens.
