About Darcy R. Merkur

Personal Injury Lawyer: Helping Those With Traumatic Injuries Requiring Hospitalization

Darcy Merkur is a trauma lawyer with over 20 years experience helping people in Toronto and throughout Ontario that have had a prolonged stay in a trauma hospital (like Sunnybrook Hospital, St. Michael’s Hospital or Sick Kids Hospital) following an accident.

If your family is sleeping at a trauma hospital worried about you, then you may want to reach out to Darcy to see if he can help. If you or your loved one has suffered a significant brain injury (such as one involving a coma) or has suffered major orthopaedic and/or spinal cord injuries (like where surgery is required) then contact Darcy Merkur at Thomson Rogers. Darcy provides absolutely free no-obligation consults to anyone, anytime.

Potential clients are often scared to call a lawyer. And when they finally do they get stuck navigating through various receptionists before ever getting to talk to an actual lawyer.

Darcy’s approach is different.

Darcy believes in a personal touch. He answers his own phone and fields client inquiries instantaneously through:

Text: (416) 996-7677

Email: dmerkur@thomsonrogers.com Phone: (416) 868-3176

Try contacting Darcy Merkur directly and be impressed with how quickly he responds!

Darcy believes your questions should be answered within minutes – not days nor hours – because he knows accident victims and their families can’t always wait to get answers to their important questions about insurance coverage and hospital discharge plans. Not only does Darcy understand your legal rights, but he strives to understand your injuries as well. For example, to better understand brain injuries, Darcy became the only lawyer in Canada qualified as a Certified Brain Injury Specialist by the Brain Injury Association of America.

Darcy’s focus is on helping clients recover from their injuries. When potential clients ask Darcy how much their case is worth, Darcy shifts their focus to be on helping their loved one recover. He would prefer his clients to make a great recovery and receive fair compensation than receive massive compensation as a result of a poor recovery.

Darcy facilitates his clients’ recovery by using his more than 20 years experience to personally assemble a rehabilitation team to assist his clients and by ensuring that the responsible insurance companies fund everything along the way.

Darcy’s clients love his positivity, responsiveness and approach to keeping them fully and regularly informed.

While Darcy handles all types of personal injury claims, he spends most of his time assisting catastrophically injured motorists. Darcy has extensive experience helping seriously injured children and teenagers, helping motorcycle accident victims, helping injured pedestrians and helping families of fatality victims.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Darcy Merkur and his team at Thomson Rogers Lawyers. My daughter Zoe, who was 4 years old, was involved in an accident in 2010 whereby she lost her left leg. We were in a state of deep despair and darkness. We feel so lucky and extremely grateful to have met Darcy. He guided us through the legal process and was very clear on what we should and should not expect. He was very empathetic and understanding of our horrible situation. We felt confident with Darcy during the process and knew that we were in very capable hands with his guidance and expertise. We are happy to say that we recently settled favourably for Zoe and we are very relieved. Throughout the entire process Darcy never once deviated from being highly professional and responsive to our needs. I strongly suggest to anybody with a personal injury complaint to directly Darcy at Thomson Rogers Lawyers.

My husband was hit by a car and suffered very serious injuries. From the moment my husband and I met him at the Rehab Hospital, I knew that we were dealing with a caring and extremely skilled professional. Darcy gave us a clear understanding of the process and assured us that we would deal directly with him and his staff and he would make sure that my husband had the services he needed for his recovery. This gave me a great sense of relief. Throughout the first year when so many decisions were required I knew that I could count on Darcy to immediately respond to my questions and direct the excellent staff so that my husband received the appropriate equipment and care. Insurance settlement guidelines in Ontario are strict but we believe that Darcy was able to negotiate a fair settlement and more importantly was able to relieve us of so many burdens during the process of recovery. He is an outstanding person and lawyer. We both highly recommend him.

Darcy Merkur is an impeccably organized, patient and knowledgeable lawyer to whom me and my family owe a great deal. He represented my son who at a very young age suffered a catastrophic brain injury. Without Darcy's help, attention to detail and knowledge my son's future would be vastly different from what it is currently. Despite being a miracle my son (now 11) requires quite a bit of help. Due to Darcy's efforts, incredible communication and negotiation skills and attention to detail, my son has the funds to make sure he gets whatever help he needs. I could not recommend Darcy highly enough, he is an incredible lawyer and an incredible man.

Hired Attorney Darcy R. Merkur

My only regret in hiring Darcy was that I didn’t do it sooner; unfortunately, coming from a province with public insurance, I had no idea what I was in for when I got into a severe car accident in Ottawa and handled my case on my own for the first year. Since I was unrepresented, both insurance companies took advantage of me and left me without attendant care and didn’t process payments leaving me broke. The minute Darcy and his team were on my case, things flipped on their head. He took the insurance company to task for everything I should have been entitled to but was denied. Darcy is an expert at managing “Thin Skull” cases, and keeping the case from going from “Thin Skull” into “Crumbling Skull” territory. If you have a pre-existing injury or condition, you NEED Darcy on your side. Darcy doesn’t stand for games or bullying tactics, he can smell a trap or a ploy from the insurance company a mile away, and he will do whatever it takes to represent his clients’ best interests.

Hired Attorney Darcy R. Merkur

An amazing lawyer who was there when I needed someone to listen. I was in a motorcycle accident with no tort and charged with careless driving. I was laying in a hospital bed with a fractured neck, two broken wrists, a broken ankle which later developed into CRPS. After a visit from the insurance company occupational therapist to assess my injuries, I knew I needed help in a big way! Darcy put me in contact with an AMAZING Occupational Therapist who coordinated my recovery. To make a 3yr and 9-month story short, Darcy maintained a record of my injuries, Without Pay and regularly kept in contact with me. My OC was with me every step of the way. I received a Catastrophic Designation and Darcy was there with all my records. I’m not able to work now, but because of this Amazing, Generous lawyer, I received a settlement that ensures a full life. THANK YOU, Darcy You are the Best and Thank You for being there! R. Brown

In 2016 when my husband suffered a severe brain injury, it was a family nightmare. After taking our case to 2 other lawyers who were very disappointing, we found Darcy Merker of Thomson Roger. Darcy from the very beginning, made the difficult journey for me and my family extremely smooth and easy with his professionalism, empathy and awesome services. He is a warm and personable human being who treated us with dignity and respect. He was always just a phone call away. His team worked with us very efficiently throughout the process . We were very satisfied with his resolution and would highly recommend Darcy Merker.
