Where a Richmond Hill claim is actually heard
There is a courthouse on Major Mackenzie Drive East in Richmond Hill, and people reasonably assume their claim goes there. It is a Small Claims Court location only, dealing with amounts up to $35,000. A personal injury claim above that is issued in the Superior Court of Justice for York Region at 50 Eagle Street West, Newmarket.
Your medical records, and where they are
Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital, 10 Trench Street, is the main hospital for Richmond Hill. It is not a trauma centre, so a serious injury is typically stabilised there and transferred to a Toronto trauma centre. Mackenzie Health also runs Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital, and patients move between the two, which means records can sit in more than one chart even within the same hospital network.

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.
