In the aftermath of a serious car accident, it can be difficult for injured survivors to know exactly what to do next. Being involved in a car accident can be shocking, especially when the actions of a negligent driver cause a collision resulting in serious physical injuries. Depending on the severity of injuries sustained by car accident survivors, the road to recovery can be long, complicated, and expensive.
Injured car accident survivors are often required to go to great financial expense in order to receive sufficient care. As a result of the injuries they have sustained, injured car accident victims often incur substantial financial losses. Oftentimes, these are related to:
- Medical expenses
- 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
- Psychological counselling
- Lost wages due to missed work
- Reduced future earning capability
- And possibly more
Ontario’s Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act makes it mandatory for all owners and operators of motor vehicles to have automobile insurance. And while the specific terms and details of available coverage differ from policy to policy, all automobile insurance plans must provide policyholders with the coverage detailed within the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule. As such, any injured victim of a car accident should be able to recover no-fault accident benefits to cover certain costs incurred as a result of the injuries they have sustained. Even if a driver’s mistakes or wrongful actions behind the wheel contributed to the circumstances that caused the car accident to occur, if they sustained injuries as a result of the collision, they should be able to recover no-fault accident benefits.
However, depending on the severity of the injuries sustained by car accident survivors, the amount of accident benefits available to them may not be enough to cover their total losses. For example, if a car accident survivor sustains a spinal cord injury (SCI) and becomes permanently paralyzed, since their injury is considered to be catastrophic, the maximum amount of medical coverage available through a regular automobile insurance policy is $1 million. However, according to research available through the National Library of Medicine, a single Canadian’s estimated lifetime expenses resulting from a severe SCI may range from $1.5 million to $3 million.
Even if an accident survivor sustains moderate to severe injuries, their entire life can be changed in an instant. Sustaining any kind of injury in a car accident can be disruptive and destabilizing, often forcing injured victims to make difficult decisions about the kinds of medical care they feel they can afford.
However, if you sustained injuries in a motor vehicle collision caused by the negligence of another driver, you might be entitled to additional compensation. If you are eligible to pursue a civil claim, our Bradford car accident lawyers may be able to help you recover the restitution you deserve.

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.
