The Government of Ontario has just introduced a new project, that if passed, will allow people to carry around their important ID driver’s licence, birth certificate, passport, and more on their phones.

If all goes well, the service should be available to Ontarians at the end of 2021. Do you like the idea of housing all your ID in your phone or are you concerned about hackers?

Did you know that slip and falls on municipal property are treated differently than falls that happen on private property? Unlike with private property slip and fall cases where you have up to 2 years to file, on public property you only have 10 days to provide written notice to the municipality.

All it means is that it's important you act fast when injured on public property. Get in touch with a personal injury lawyer as soon as you can to ensure you’re able to receive proper compensation.
