Our law firm is dedicated to obtaining full and fair compensation for our clients from all available sources.
Two Potential Sources of Compensation
Ontario has a combined tort and no-fault automobile insurance scheme. As a result, there are two potential streams of compensation available to accident victims. One stream of compensation is derived by suing the person responsible for causing the accident. This stream of compensation is only available in circumstances where the collision was at least partly the fault of another party. Our lawyers have the resources and experience required to prove negligence and liability in these cases.
In a personal injury claim against a negligent driver, our client may recover financial compensation for the following four types of damages:
- General damages for pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life and loss of amenities
- Loss of income
- Future care expenses
- Other out of pocket expenses
Family members can also advance a claim for damages pursuant to the Family Law Act.
Accident Benefits
Another stream of compensation is statutory accident benefits. These are benefits that are available to every person who has been injured in a car collision, regardless of fault for the collision. Every automobile insurance policy contains mandatory accident benefits coverage.
