Motor Vehicle Accidents
Automobile accidents are a common cause of personal injury for Ontario residents and can cause injuries such as whiplash, fractures, psychological trauma, and chronic pain. Soft tissue injuries typically surface several days after the accident, and while car accident victims may feel fine on the day of the crash, it is not uncommon to wake up in pain a couple of days later. Automobile accident victims typically require medical rehabilitation that can be both lengthy and costly. Missing work and other obligations can quickly become financially overwhelming, creating undue stress for injury victims and their families.
Automobile accident victims in Ontario are entitled to certain benefits such as medical rehabilitation, income replacement, attendant care, as well as the non-earner benefit. If purchased, additional coverage can provide caregiving and housekeeping benefits as well. If a victim’s injuries are considered to be catastrophic, the amount of coverage can drastically increase. Insurance company representatives, however, will try to limit access to these benefits or deny them outright.
Accident victims who are deemed to be not at fault have another avenue for pursuing additional compensation via a Tort claim. Pain and suffering, costs of future medical care, loss of income and competitive advantage, and out-of-pocket expenses are just some of the heads of damages one may be entitled to.
Ontario legislation that governs motor vehicle accident claims is very complex, having undergone several changes of the past years. This means having a competent and experienced personal injury lawyer on your side is crucial to successfully submitting an injury claim.
If you have been injured in an automobile accident in Ontario, you deserve compensation for your injuries. If the other driver did not have insurance, you were involved in a hit-and-run, or you are at fault for the accident, you still may be entitled to compensation.
