If you were recently injured in a car accident, already you may be noticing the overwhelming and all-encompassing impacts of your injuries on your overall quality of life. Sustaining injuries in a car accident– regardless of their level of severity– can be a stressful, physically painful, emotionally challenging, anxiety-inducing, and expensive experience.Â
Car accidents often have fatal outcomes. Indeed, according to a recent report on road safety statistics issued by the provincial Ministry of Transportation, in just one year, there were more than 500 deadly crashes on Ontario’s roads.Â
Those who manage to survive a severe collision often experience more than physical trauma. Recovering from serious injuries can be a difficult, painful, and isolating process. Many injured car accident survivors find themselves struggling with disabling mental health conditions after being involved in a collision. These mental health issues often include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Insomnia and other sleep disorders
- Alcohol use disorder
- And more
Coping with the new, day-to-day realities of life with a disabling physical or mental health condition can be both emotionally and financially distressing. This is especially true for injured car accident survivors whose newly acquired disabilities make it impossible to continue working in their chosen occupational field. Unable to continue earning their regular wages, injured car accident victims often find themselves in precarious and uncertain financial situations.Â
Nobody expects to be injured in a car accident, and few people are financially prepared for just how expensive the process of recovery can be. And even though all injured car accident survivors, regardless of their level of culpability for causing an injurious collision, should be able to collect accident benefits in accordance with the province’s Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act, oftentimes the coverage mandated within Ontario’s Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule does not come close to compensating injured victims of motor vehicle collisions for the total financial losses they have incurred as a result of their injuries.Â
Our Brockville car accident lawyers believe that no one should be forced to pay the price of someone else’s negligence. That is why, if your injury-causing collision was the result of another driver’s wrongful conduct behind the wheel, our car accident lawyers serving Brockville may be able to help you.
By working with our Brockville car accident lawyers, eligible survivors of motor vehicle collisions may be able to recover compensation for their newly acquired, injury-related costs from the at-fault driver whose negligence caused the accident to occur. These damages could be pecuniary or non-pecuniary in nature, and might include:
- Medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- 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
- Psychological counseling
- Lost wages due to missed work
- Reduced future earning capabilityÂ
- And possibly more

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.
