Introduction
Paciocco & Mellow Injury Lawyers holds a 5.0 Google rating, an outcome driven by a practice model that includes meeting clients at hospitals, homes, and convenient locations throughout Windsor and surrounding communities rather than requiring injured people to travel during recovery. The firm is located at 995 Howard Avenue, Windsor, Ontario N9A 1S4, reachable at (519) 915-7673, with additional offices in Chatham and Sarnia. Free initial consultations are available.
The firm serves Windsor, Chatham-Kent, Sarnia, and Essex County, covering the full southwestern Ontario corridor across which its three office locations are distributed.
Practice Areas
Paciocco & Mellow handles personal injury matters arising from a range of accident types common to Ontario:
- Car accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Truck accidents
- Boating accidents
- Swimming pool accidents
- Slip and fall cases
- Wrongful death
Car Accidents
The firm’s car accident services extend well beyond filing a claim. Paciocco & Mellow assists clients with completing Motor Vehicle Accident Reports, gathering driver information including license numbers and insurance details, documenting accident scenes, and obtaining medical examinations for injuries that adrenaline may have masked at the time of the crash. The firm also handles accident benefit applications and coordinates with family doctors, walk-in clinics, and emergency rooms to ensure the medical record reflects the full scope of injuries.
Boating Accidents
Alcohol is a frequent cause of boating accidents, and safely operating a watercraft requires as much skill and attention as driving a car. The firm handles civil claims against negligent operators and wrongful death cases following fatal boating incidents. Sources of compensation pursued by the firm include lawsuits against negligent parties, private disability insurance, Canada Pension Plan Disability, and Ontario Disability Support Program.
Swimming Pool Accidents
Swimming pools appear safer than open water but require proper precautions that property owners do not always maintain. The firm represents victims injured in pool accidents where inadequate safety measures contributed to the harm.
Slip and Fall
Many of the firm’s slip and fall cases arise from winter conditions, specifically property owners failing to clear snow and ice from sidewalks and parking lots. Cases involving municipalities carry particular urgency: deadlines to preserve legal rights in those claims can be extremely short. The firm advises accident victims to report the incident to property managers immediately, document the scene with photographs, collect witness contact information, and seek medical attention without delay.

Client Focus
The firm’s willingness to meet clients at hospitals, homes, or other convenient locations throughout Windsor and Ontario distinguishes its intake process from practices that require office visits as a condition of engagement. For clients dealing with serious injuries, transportation barriers, or extended hospitalization, that flexibility is substantive rather than symbolic.
Compensation sources pursued by the firm include direct litigation against negligent parties as well as benefit programs including private disability insurance, Canada Pension Plan Disability, and Ontario Disability Support Program, giving clients access to multiple recovery channels when a single avenue falls short.
The 5.0 Google rating reflects client experience across the full service area, not a single office or practice type.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the firm travel to meet clients?
Yes. Paciocco & Mellow is willing to meet clients at hospitals, homes, or other convenient locations throughout Windsor and Ontario. Clients are not required to come to one of the firm’s offices during recovery.
What should I do immediately after a slip and fall accident?
Report the incident to the property manager or owner right away. Document the scene with photographs before conditions change. Collect names and contact information from any witnesses. Seek medical attention promptly, even if injuries seem minor, since adrenaline can delay the perception of pain.
Are there special deadlines for municipal slip and fall claims?
Yes. Cases involving municipalities may carry extremely short deadlines to preserve legal rights. Contacting the firm as soon as possible after an accident on municipal property is important.
What compensation sources exist beyond suing the negligent party?
The firm pursues recovery through private disability insurance, Canada Pension Plan Disability, and Ontario Disability Support Program in addition to civil litigation against responsible parties. The available sources depend on the specific facts and coverage applicable to each case.
Does the firm handle wrongful death cases from boating accidents?
Yes. The firm handles wrongful death claims following fatal boating incidents in addition to injury cases arising from non-fatal accidents on Ontario waterways.
Closing
Southwestern Ontario’s winters create slip and fall conditions on nearly every commercial and residential property for months at a time. Its waterways and roads produce the accident patterns that Paciocco & Mellow has built its three-office practice around. The 5.0 Google rating and the firm’s documented willingness to come to clients rather than waiting for them reflect a practice designed around people managing serious injuries, not around office convenience. For Windsor, Chatham-Kent, Sarnia, and Essex County residents, (519) 915-7673 is the starting point.
