Free consultationFree consultationAbout Yermus & Associates
Yermus & Associates is a personal injury firm based in Toronto, with its office on Yonge Street in the city's North York district. Michael A. Yermus founded the firm after earning an LL.B. from Osgoode Hall Law School and being called to the Ontario Bar, and leads its personal injury practice today. The firm now includes a small team of lawyers who work exclusively in personal injury law, representing individuals and families across the Greater Toronto Area and Ontario.
Its practice covers motor vehicle accidents and accident benefits claims, catastrophic injuries such as brain and spinal cord injuries, and cases involving chronic pain, fibromyalgia, psychological injury, and CPP or long term disability claims, along with slip and fall accidents, dog bites, and wrongful death claims. The firm, in its own words, is prepared to take a matter to trial when a case doesn't settle beforehand. Fees are contingent on the outcome of a case: clients aren't charged legal fees unless they receive a settlement or judgment, and the initial consultation is free.
