According to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation’s recent annual report on road safety statistics, in just one year, there were nearly 24,000 serious collisions on the province’s roads and highways. More than 500 of those car accidents had deadly consequences.Â
Those who are fortunate enough to survive a traumatic car crash often sustain a number of injuries, ranging in severity from moderate to catastrophic. These injuries frequently include:
- WhiplashÂ
- Soft tissue injuries
- Broken or fractured bones
- Cuts and lacerations
- Strains and sprains
- Musculoskeletal injuries
- Facial and dental injuries
- Internal organ damage
- Neck and back injuries
- Spinal cord injuriesÂ
- Paralysis
- Concussions
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Amputations
- And moreÂ
Often, car accident survivors sustain more than one injury during their collision. These injuries frequently require lengthy recovery and rehabilitative processes. In many cases, the process of recovery can be demoralizing, emotionally challenging, and isolation. Frequently, in response to the physical injuries they have sustained, car accident survivors find themselves grappling with secondary disabilities in the form of significant mental health concerns.
When people fail to consider the possible consequences of their actions, serious accidents can occur. Operating a motor vehicle on local roads and highways requires alertness, focus, caution, and experience. All drivers are required by law to obey the rules of the road and adhere to local traffic laws. In accordance with Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act, all drivers owe their fellow road users a duty of care. This duty of care extends to:
- Other drivers
- Vehicle passengers
- Motorcycle riders
- Cyclists
- Pedestrians
- And other road users
If a driver neglects their duty of care by violating traffic laws and an accident ensues in which another road user sustains injuries, the at-fault driver may be considered negligent. Therefore, they may be held liable for damages incurred by injured car accident survivors as a result of their collision. In Kirkland Lake, common examples of negligence behind the wheel that often leads to injurious car accidents include:
- Texting while driving
- Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs
- Speeding
- Reckless driving
- Fatigued driving
- Distracted driving
- Improperly changing lanes
- Ignoring traffic signs/signals
- And 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.
