Our car accident lawyers serving Elliot Lake are committed to helping the clients we represent in their pursuits of accountability, fair compensation, and justice. No one should face the overwhelming physical, psychological, and economic difficulties that come with surviving a serious motor vehicle collision. Our Elliot Lake car accident lawyers are passionate about helping members of the local community and fighting on our clients’ behalf for fair treatment and the maximum amount of damages to which they are rightfully owed.
Depending on the nature of the injuries sustained by car crash survivors and the overall impact they have had (or will continue to have) on the victim’s quality of life, our car accident lawyers serving Elliot Lake may be to pursue a civil claim against the at-fault party whose negligence caused the collision to occur in the first place. Even though injured survivors of motor vehicle collisions should be able to collect accident benefits via their insurance provider, the amount of benefits they might be able to collect is often insufficient to replace their total economic and non-economic losses.
Sustaining injuries in an accident can be expensive, and accident benefits help injured car crash survivors offset newly acquired costs arising from their injuries. These costs often include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Attendant careÂ
- Physiotherapy
- Mobility aids, assistive medical equipment
- Prescriptions
- Home modifications to accommodate newly acquired disabilities
- Ambulance services
- Mileage expenses to and from medical appointments
- Housekeeping services
- And possibly more
In accordance with the province’s Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act, it is mandatory for the owners, lessees, and operators of motor vehicles to have insurance. All Ontario automobile insurance policies provide the various types of coverage mandated within the provincial Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS). Therefore, anyone who is injured in a car accident, regardless of their level of culpability for causing the collision to occur, should be entitled to no-fault accident benefits, a mandatory form of coverage detailed in the SABS.
Accident benefits provide injured survivors of motor vehicle collisions with compensation for certain injury-related costs.
Unfortunately, though, accident benefits do not always provide a sufficient amount of financial relief to truly compensate an injured insurance policyholder for the total monetary losses they have incurred. This is especially true for car accident survivors who have sustained catastrophic injuries and/or can no longer perform the duties of their chosen occupation.
However, if the car accident was the result of another driver’s negligence, road users who were injured in the crash might be eligible to pursue damages by filing a civil claim against the at-fault driver. In accordance with Ontario’s Limitations Act, injured car accident victims have only a short window of opportunity in which to pursue justice. That is why, if you were injured in a collision caused by a negligent driver, it might be prudent to schedule your free initial consultation with our Elliot Lake car accident lawyers as soon as possible.

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.
