Andrew Bergel

Bergel Magence LLP

Andrew Bergel is a partner at Bergel Magence LLP in Toronto, a personal injury lawyer acting for people seriously hurt in motor vehicle collisions, falls on unsafe property, and dog attacks, and for clients whose disability benefits have been delayed or cut off.

Year Called to the Bar: 2002

Andrew joined Bergel Magence LLP in 2001 and became a partner in 2007. His practice is built around the injuries that change a person’s life permanently: traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, chronic pain, and catastrophic impairment designations. He also handles dog bite and animal attack claims, slip and fall accidents, and long-term disability disputes.

A Lawyer Who Has Sat Where You Are Sitting

Andrew was seriously injured in a car accident himself. He knows what the months afterward actually look like – the appointments that go nowhere, the paperwork that arrives faster than you can read it, the strain that settles over an entire household. That experience shapes how he runs a file. He does not ask clients to be patient while a claim drifts. He pushes.

His goal in every case is to get the client as close as possible to the life they had before the collision. Where full recovery is not realistic, he works to secure the funding that makes a changed life liveable – attendant care, home modifications, treatment not covered by OHIP, and compensation for income the client will never earn.

Litigation and Preparation

Andrew has argued successfully before the Superior Court of Justice and the Financial Services Commission of Ontario. He builds each file with the medical evidence assembled early and the treatment plan documented properly, because a claim is won or lost long before anyone walks into a courtroom. He is equally particular about the medical and rehabilitation providers his clients see.
