About PIA Law (Personal Injury Alliance)

PIA Law, short for the Personal Injury Alliance, is not one law firm. It is a marketing alliance formed in 2012 by three separately owned Ontario personal injury firms: Thomson Rogers, McLeish Orlando, and Oatley Vigmond. Canadian Lawyer magazine describes it as believed to be the first alliance of its kind in Canada, formed because the three firms shared a concern that seriously injured people were choosing lawyers based on advertising rather than on merit. Thomson Rogers has practiced in Toronto since 1935. McLeish Orlando is also based in Toronto, on Yonge Street. Oatley Vigmond operates from Barrie along with offices in Toronto, Hamilton, Sudbury, and North Bay.

Together the three firms take on catastrophic and life-changing injury claims across Ontario, including motor vehicle, motorcycle, and other transportation accidents, medical malpractice, brain and spinal cord injuries, wrongful death, and class actions, on a contingency-fee basis with a free initial consultation. Lawyers across the three firms have been recognized by LEXPERT and Best Lawyers, and eleven are Certified Specialists in Civil Litigation. Each of the three firms has had at least one partner serve as a past president of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association. Rather than compete against each other for advertising attention, the firms pool that effort under one shared name while continuing to operate, and bill, independently.
