Safety is a State of Mind. Accidents are an Absence of Mind.
If you or your family members or friends have been involved in a car or automobile accident, it is very important to get correct legal advice to ensure that your legal rights are respected and you get what you deserve. As per Ontario law, if you suffered an injury in a motor vehicle accident, you have the right to file a claim to recover accident benefits from your insurance company. So after getting the immediate medical help, you should call our Ontario car accident lawyers who will help to prepare the claim for you. The claim that you file depends upon the accident.
You can file 2 types of claims in Ontario.
- Accident benefit claims or No fault claims.
- Tort claims or Fault claims or 3rd party claims.
Motor vehicle accidents are the #1 cause of accidental injury or death in Canada.
Every one who is injured in a motor vehicle or car accident like drivers, pedestrians and passengers are entitled to file a claim for accident benefits irrespective of the party at fault. This claim can be filed on your behalf by our experienced Ontario motor vehicle lawyers with your own insurance companies.
You are eligible to receive the following types of benefits:
- Income replacement benefits: You are eligible to get this benefit if you were working before your accident but couldn’t return to work after the accident due to injuries. The benefits are calculated by taking 70% of your gross salary and you can get a maximum of 400$ a week up to 2 years.
- Benefit for non-earners: Even if you did not have any job at the time of an accident and you are unable to carry on active normal life due to injuries sustained in a car accident, you can get non-earner benefits.
- Student Benefit: If you are a student who is unable to continue his education after the car accident, you can file a claim for reimbursement of lost tuition, boarding, books etc.
- Medical expenses: Any medical and rehabilitation expenses, which are not covered under any medical plan can be claimed under this benefit.
