Toronto Injury Lawyers: Motor Vehicle Accident Benefits
If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident in Ontario, you may be entitled to receive no-fault accident benefits from your own auto insurance policy or that of the other party.
Legal Help After an Accident
The lawyers of McLeish Orlando LLP are here to assist you after an accident. We help injured people pursue the full amount of accident benefits they are entitled to receive. Many of our clients are unaware of the benefits available to them. Accident benefits include:
- Weekly income replacement benefits
- Supplementary medical benefits and rehabilitation benefits
- Attendant care benefits
- Weekly housekeeping benefits
- Funeral and death benefits
- Non-earner benefits
- Caregiver benefits
If your injury is classified as a catastrophic impairment, you will be entitled to receive benefits in a greater amount over a longer period of time.
Obtaining accident benefits can be a complicated process. There are deadlines that must be met and procedures that must be followed exactly. For example, you must submit a treatment plan in advance of treatment. Failure to comply with all the requirements can result in a denial of benefits.
We do not charge for helping our clients obtain benefits unless it becomes necessary to go through dispute resolution process.
Overcoming Denials of Benefits
Our law firm can manage the entire process for you from the beginning, or we can step in after a claim has been denied. We have won cases for clients whose benefits had previously been denied through the mediation and arbitration process. We have also filed successful lawsuits over benefits denials.
Advising You of Your Options
It is always wise to discuss your situation with a lawyer as soon as possible after an accident. In addition to helping you obtain accident benefits, we will tell you whether you may be able to receive additional compensation by filing a personal injury (tort claim) lawsuit.
