In accordance with the province’s Highway Traffic Act, Ontarians who operate motor vehicles have a legal obligation to provide other road users with a duty of care. If a driver engages in any kind of illegal behaviour behind the wheel of their vehicle and, as a result of their wrongful actions, an injury-causing accident ensues, the at-fault driver might be considered negligent. Negligent drivers might be held responsible for damages incurred by the injured victims of the accident they caused.

Throughout the province of Ontario, one of the most deadly forms of negligence on the road is distracted driving. In fact, in recent years, distracted driving has overtaken inebriated driving as the leading cause of fatalities on Ontario’s highways and roads.

Drivers who take their focus off the road– even for the briefest of moments– could cause other road users to endure lifetimes of grief, pain, emotional distress, and financial insecurity. When drivers turn their heads away from the road to check a text message notification, eat take-out while their vehicle is in motion, fiddle with the radio station, engage in heated conversation with passengers, or try to perform any number of other tasks while they driving, they likely do not consider the potentially devastating consequences of their actions. This lack of consideration for the safety of others is both dangerous and illegal.

Although nearly half of Canadians have admitted to using their phones while operating their vehicles, distracted driving is not the only form of negligence that could endanger the lives of other road users. Traffic laws exist to reduce the risk of injurious or fatal collisions. A violation of any of these rules could jeopardize road users’ physical health, emotional well-being, and financial stability. Therefore, if the violation of any traffic law leads to a serious collision, the driver responsible for causing the crash could be considered negligent. In Timiskaming, common forms of driver negligence that often lead to injury-causing motor vehicle collisions include:

car accident FAQs

Here are some commonly asked questions for car accident claims

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.

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.

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.

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.
