Motor Vehicle and Car Accident Claims
Every hour we spend on the road carries a certain risk. Most drivers share the road safely and responsibly, but the actions of just one negligent or distracted driver can have life-changing consequences.
What compensation are you entitled to if you have been a victim of a car accident?
Anyone injured in a car accident in Ontario is entitled to no-fault accident benefits through their automobile insurance policy. This means that even if you cause an accident, you are still entitled to accident benefits. If you do not have a car insurance policy, you are entitled to claim these benefits from the insurer of the vehicle in which you were a passenger or the insurer of the vehicle that struck you.
You may be entitled to various accident benefits, including medical and rehabilitation benefits, income replacement benefits, non-earner benefits, and attendant care benefits. If you are deemed to suffer from a “catastrophic impairment,” these benefits are available for life and include additional benefits such as housekeeping and case management services.
If a motor vehicle accident has resulted in death, accident benefits provide for funeral expenses, as well as “death benefits” to the surviving spouse and dependents.
In addition to accident benefits, you may also be entitled to commence a “tort” lawsuit against the at-fault party. Compensation from a tort claim includes damages for pain and suffering, past and future loss of income, health care expenses, and housekeeping and gardening expenses.
The family members of an injured victim can also commence a “tort” lawsuit for their loss of care, guidance, and companionship from the injured victim, pursuant to the Family Law Act, R.S.O. 1990 c. F.3. Included within the damages that a family member can claim are funeral expenses, travel expenses incurred in caring for the family member, loss of income, as well as any additional expenses incurred for the benefit of the injured individual.
It is important to note a two-year limitation period to start a lawsuit arising from a motor vehicle accident. Failing to do so might prevent you from being able to sue.
