Preszler Injury Lawyers is a plaintiff-only personal injury and long-term disability firm founded in Toronto in 1959. Its founder, Robert P. Preszler, was born in Tilsonburg, Ontario, grew up on a tobacco farm, studied at the University of Western Ontario, and graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School the same year the firm opened. The founder chose to represent injured people rather than insurance companies and spent more than 55 years at the practice before retiring.
The firm still takes cases only for plaintiffs, never for insurers, on a contingency fee basis with free initial consultations. Its work covers motor vehicle and pedestrian accidents, slip and falls, premises liability, dog bites, long-term disability denials, institutional abuse claims, wrongful death, and defective products. What began as a single Toronto office has grown into a network with fully staffed offices in Toronto, Calgary, Dartmouth, and Dieppe, and Vancouver, plus satellite consultation offices by appointment in cities across Ontario and British Columbia. The firm reports recovering more than $1.5 billion for 20,000 clients across Canada since it was founded.
The firm has produced a documentary series, including Braving Healing, Serving Survivors, Finally Believed, and When Pain is Invisible, about institutional abuse survivors and clients living with chronic pain or long-term disability.
