One of the most common causes for the injuries in Ontario is motor vehicle accidents. The results can be a wide range of injuries such as chronic pain, broken bones, whiplash, and psychological effects. A common trend in car accident injuries is that they can have long-term effects, even though they might not be apparent right away. Lengthy rehabilitation is common for victims of motor vehicle accidents, which can be quite costly and, when combined with lost wages and other related expenses, can quickly overwhelm a family emotionally and financially.
Ontario car accident victims are entitled to accident benefits including medical rehabilitation benefits, income replacement benefits, attendant care, and the non-earner benefit. Additional coverage, if purchased, may also entitle a victim to caregiving and housekeeping benefits as well. Injuries deemed catastrophic allow for much higher coverage for injury victims. Even though it seems that car accident victims in Ontario are well covered and protected, insurance companies will attempt to limit and/or deny victims' entitlements to any or all of the aforementioned benefits.
For motorists that were not at fault for a motor vehicle accident, a Tort claim may be available for additional compensation. Such damages may include costs of future medical care, pain and suffering, out-of-pocket expenses, and loss of income and competitive advantage.
