Lindsay is the seat of the City of Kawartha Lakes, and unusually for a town of its size, it has both its own courthouse and its own hospital. If you have been injured, or your long term disability claim has been denied, you can speak to us about it at no cost.
Where a Lindsay claim is actually heard
The Superior Court of Justice sits in Lindsay at 440 Kent Street West. A personal injury claim arising in Lindsay is issued and heard there, rather than being sent to Peterborough or Toronto. For a claimant that is a practical advantage: attendances are local, and the list is smaller than the ones in the Greater Toronto Area.
Your medical records, and where they are
Ross Memorial Hospital, 10 Angeline Street North, is the hospital for Lindsay and the surrounding townships. It is not a trauma centre. A serious injury is stabilised at Ross Memorial and then transferred, commonly to Peterborough or to a Toronto trauma centre. That leaves records in at least two hospitals, and the transfer records themselves often describe the injury at its most severe.

A disability denial does not depend on where you live
If your long term disability claim has been denied or cut off, the insurer’s decision is governed by your policy and by Ontario law, not by your postal code. We act for denied claimants across Ontario, and most of that work is done by phone, email and video, with court attendances where the claim is issued. Distance from Whitby is rarely the deciding factor.
