→Starting a civil claim
Because different courts have different rules, where you choose to bring your tort claim can have a significant impact on how the case proceeds. It is important to speak to a lawyer to fully understand which court is best for your case.
Another consideration when starting a tort claim is ''timing''. It is crucial that you bring the claim within the proper limitation period. (We'll talk about limitation periods a bit later.) If you do not file your claim in time, you will miss your opportunity to bring your claim at all. Again, it is important to speak to a lawyer to understand the limitation period that applies to your case.
