Newmarket is in York Region, and it is where the region’s Superior Court sits. If you have been injured, or your long term disability benefits have been denied, you can speak to us about what the process involves before deciding anything.
Where a Newmarket claim is actually heard
The Superior Court of Justice for the whole of York Region is in Newmarket, at 50 Eagle Street West. If you live in Newmarket, your claim is heard in your own town, which is not true for most of the region. Claims from Markham, Vaughan, Richmond Hill and Whitchurch-Stouffville are all issued here too, which is part of why the list is busy.
Your medical records, and where they are
Southlake Regional Health Centre, 596 Davis Drive, is the hospital for Newmarket and a regional centre for a much wider area. Southlake is not a designated adult trauma centre, so the most serious injuries are stabilised and transferred to a Toronto trauma centre. Where a transfer happens, the records exist in two places, and both sets have to be obtained before the injury can be properly assessed.

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.
