Serious Injury, Accident Benefits and Insurance Litigation Across Ontario

Jeremy is a partner at Bergel Magence LLP and practises exclusively on the plaintiff side, representing accident victims in injury litigation, accident benefits claims, and disability and life insurance disputes.

Year Called to the Bar: 1998

Jeremy has spent more than twenty-five years acting for people whose lives were reordered in a matter of seconds. His philosophy is simple and he states it to every client: your job is to recover, his job is everything else.

A Reputation Built on the Hardest Cases

Jeremy is well known within Ontario’s insurance community, particularly for the most severe files – quadriplegia and paraplegia, traumatic brain injury, and claims involving a catastrophic impairment determination. These are the cases where the medical evidence is contested hardest, where the lifetime cost of care runs into the millions, and where getting the claim wrong at the outset can cost a family everything they will need later.

That reputation matters at the negotiating table. Defence counsel and adjusters know which lawyers prepare a file to be tried and which ones prepare it to be settled cheaply. Jeremy prepares to try it.

He is regularly invited by organizations to present on legal topics, and he brings that same clarity to client meetings: plain explanations, honest assessments, and no false promises about timelines or outcomes.

Beyond the Practice

Jeremy sits on a number of non-profit boards across Ontario, including Canadian Friends of Yeshiva University and NCSY, and provides legal assistance to community organizations pro bono.

A father of four, he makes family his first priority, and treats his clients accordingly. Family, in his view, means picking up the phone, showing up in person, and being reachable when something goes wrong, which is exactly the standard he holds himself to on a file.

Seriously Injured? Get Jeremy Magence on Your Side

After a catastrophic accident, the insurer is not the only party assessing your case – the insurer’s own doctors, engineers and accountants are too, and they were retained for a reason. The single most valuable thing you can do is put an experienced advocate on the other side of that equation, early.

Jeremy and his team at Bergel Magence LLP have recovered compensation for clients facing lifelong disability, and they know how to structure a claim so that it accounts for the cost of care decades from now, not just the bills sitting on the kitchen table today.
