This extract is taken from the Canadian Government website.......
In order to be successful, a plaintiff must show that the defendant owed him or her a duty of care, the defendant did not deliver the standard of care owed, the plaintiff’s injuries were reasonably foreseeable, and the defendant’s breach of the duty of care was the proximate cause of the plaintiff’s injuries. An error of judgment is not necessarily negligence even if it causes injury.

Just a thought DJ..here in the UK i believe that the time frame that you can take action is within 3 years..You may want to check if it is similar in Canada. Im sure the linked advice will state this
Thanks Lαrα. In Canada we have a 2 year time period from the date of the incident and if you were under the age of 18, you have 2 years starting from the day you turn 18 so I should be good.
