Motor Vehicle Collisions

If you have been involved in a motor vehicle collision in Ontario , there are a complicated series of insurance laws that will apply to your claim. Under these laws there are at least two separate sources for compensation. The first is Statutory Accident Benefits. These benefits are collected through your own auto insurance policy regardless of who was at fault for the collision. It is highly recommended that you speak with a lawyer shortly after an accident occurs in order to gain a better understanding of the full range of benefits available to you. These benefits may include:

The second source to recover compensation is to sue the party or parties responsible for the collision. An injured person has four potential areas in which they may recover damages from the responsible party. These four areas include:

There are a number of factors which may affect your ability to claim under these categories. Please contact our office for additional information.

Catastrophic Injuries

Whether you or a loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, a traumatic brain injury, or a significant orthopaedic injury, such as an amputation, you will need immediate and effective representation to ensure that appropriate compensation and financing of benefits is obtained for the critical care required in the early stages of treatment of these injuries. We will assist you and your family in accessing the wide variety of medical and rehabilitation resources available to ensure that your needs are met quickly and effectively, while ensuring that your claims for compensation for the injuries and losses sustained are properly and effectively advanced.

If you are a close family member of a catastrophically injured person, you will be entitled to compensation not only for the services you have provided to the injured family member and any loss of income you have sustained as a result, but also for the loss of care, guidance and companionship you have suffered.

Wrongful Death Claims

If a person is killed as a result of the careless or negligent act or acts of others, the surviving spouse, parents, grandparents, siblings and children of the deceased are entitled to compensation for the various losses suffered as a result of the death, including:

CPP & Disability Claims

Many employed persons in Ontario are covered by disability insurance policies in the event they are injured or become seriously ill and cannot work.

Most policies have certain criteria the injured worker must meet in order to qualify for the benefit. These normally are clearly stated in the disability policy manual or employee handbook.

Typically, during the first 2 years of the disability, the test for the disability is whether or not you are able to perform the job you were doing at the time of sickness or injury. After two years, the test changes. You must show that you are unable to perform any job for which he/she is able to perform, taking into consideration education, experience and age. Often, Insurance companies will deny these benefits, despite evidence from treating physicians that you are, in fact, unable to return to work.

If you have been denied benefits from your insurer or CPP, contact us for a free consultation to learn about rights and the options available to you.

Dangerous Premises (Slip & Fall)

The term 'slip and fall' is a generic term used by lawyers to describe a fall that was caused by someone else's negligence. The fall can be a result of snow, ice or other slippery surface. It can also be a result of broken or uneven pavement, a wet floor or loose flooring or any other condition that makes the area dangerous. Injuries that result from these accidents may be a bruised or a scraped elbow. Or, they can be more serious injuries such as broken bones, torn ligaments and muscle damage, or even head Injuries.

If you have been injured, you may be entitled to compensation. Call for you free initial consultation.

CAUTION: in cases of a slip and fall that occur on municipal property, such as a public sidewalk, written notice of the accident must be delivered to the municipality within 10 days of the occurrence. Otherwise you may be barred from pursuing a claim.

A dangerous premise may also include attacks by an aggressive dog. In Ontario , under the Dog Owner's Liability Act, the owner of the dog is liable for injuries caused by that animal. If you have been injured, you may be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering (including emotional distress and an amount for scarring), loss of income, medical and rehabilitation expenses, future loss of income and other damages.

If you have been bitten or attacked you should immediately seek medical attention; take photographs of the injured areas; keep all receipts and other documents you have related to the attack and ensure you obtain all personal information from the dog's owner including name(s), address and telephone number, if this is at all possible.
