Because of someone else’s wrongful actions, inactions, errors, omissions, or other violations of local traffic laws, innocent, unsuspecting accident victims could find themselves paying the price for the rest of their lives. When drivers engage in negligent conduct, they put the lives– and livelihoods– of countless others at risk.Â
Even the most safety-minded, cautious, and alert road user can be involved in a serious collision caused by another driver’s negligence. Indeed, a recent report on annual traffic safety statistics released by the provincial Ministry of Transportation states that in one year alone, there were nearly 24,000 injurious and fatal collisions throughout Ontario.
Depending on the circumstances of the car accident, the severity of injuries sustained, and the requirements of an injured accident victim’s job, the people hurt by negligent drivers may be unable to continue carrying out the tasks of their chosen occupation. Faced with rising injury-related expenses and an inability to earn the wages to which one has become accustomed, injured car accident survivors may find themselves in dire financial circumstances.
Our car accident lawyers serving Timmins appreciate the physical, emotional, and financial strains that follow being injured in a car crash. Our Timmins car accident lawyers do our best to help the clients we represent recover the maximum amount of damages to which they are entitled.
By pursuing a civil claim against the negligent driver whose wrongful conduct caused the crash to occur, injured car accident survivors may be able to recover the compensation they are rightfully owed. Depending on the severity of their injuries and their impact on a car accident victim’s quality of life, the damages to which they might be entitled could be both economic and non-economic in nature.Â
Certain damages do not have a price tag attached to them. However, the effect these damages have on an injured car crash survivor’s life can be just as profound as calculable financial losses, if not moreso.Â
For car accident survivors who have sustained catastrophic injuries, the human cost of their injuries often far outweigh the monetary losses they have incurred. That is why car crash survivors whose injuries have greatly diminished their overall quality of life may be entitled to pursue non-economic damages, including:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional anguish
- Mental distress
- And possibly more
Additionally, by pursuing a civil claim against the negligent driver whose wrongful actions led to the injury-causing accident, car accident victims may be able to recover compensation for their economic damages. Economic damages refer to the easily calculable financial losses incurred by car accident survivors on account of the injuries they have sustained. These damages can be determined by tallying up the total cost of all the monetary losses that have been or will be experienced by an injured car accident survivor. Oftentimes, they include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Reduced future earning capacitiesÂ
- Attendant careÂ
- PhysiotherapyÂ
- Mobility aids, assistive medical equipment
- Prescriptions
- Home modifications to accommodate newly acquired disabilitiesÂ
- Ambulance services
- Mileage expenses to and from medical appointments
- Housekeeping services
- And possibly moreÂ

car accident FAQs
Here are some commonly asked questions for car accident claims
How soon after an accident can I start receiving loss of income benefits?
Loss of income benefits are typically paid to injured victims of motor vehicle accidents once their claim has been approved by their auto insurance provider. To receive these benefits, you may be required to provide your insurer with documentation from your employer, physicians, and other medical experts stating that your injuries prevent you from working. You will not be granted loss of income benefits for any wages lost during the first 7 days after the injury-causing collision, however you may be eligible to claim lost income for missed working days after that time limitation has elapsed.
What happens if my injuries meet the threshold of catastrophic impairment?
If your injuries meet the threshold of catastrophic impairment, you may be entitled to additional benefits such as increased medical and rehabilitation benefits, attendant care benefits, and housekeeping and home maintenance benefits.
Do my family members have the right to sue the at-fault driver?
Close family members of a person who has been injured or killed in a motor vehicle accident may be able to sue the at-fault driver for their own losses such as loss of care, guidance, and companionship.
How much money can I receive to cover lost wages before and after trial?
The amount of income replacement benefits you can receive will depend on your pre-accident income, but typically these benefits can cover up to 70% of your gross income before the accident, up to a maximum of $400 per week. If you pursue a civil claim against the at-fault driver whose negligence caused your collision, you may be able to recover 100% of your gross income loss and earning capacity after the trial.
