Car accidents can be fatal. According to a recent report on road safety statistics released by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, 535 people were killed as the result of car accidents in one year alone.

According to the OPP, the provincial death rate from motor vehicle collisions recently reached an all-time high. When drivers fail to consider the potential outcomes of their wrongful actions, in a blink of an eye, their negligence can cause families to be torn apart, relatives to lose their loved ones, and unsuspecting road users to perish in violent, horrific, and ultimately preventable circumstances. 

Car accidents in Napanee frequently result in severe, even catastrophic injuries. Because of distracted, inebriated, reckless, or otherwise negligent motor vehicle operators, unsuspecting road users could sustain a number of injuries. Oftentimes, these include:

  • Whiplash
  • 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 injuries
  • Paralysis
  • Concussions
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Amputations
  • And more 

These injuries can have long-lasting, far-reaching implications for the survivors of local car accidents. In addition to the physical pain and psychological distress, injured car crash victims may find themselves facing precarious financial situations. This is particularly true for car accident survivors who have sustained injuries that make it impossible for them to continue working. Unable to earn the wages to which they have become accustomed, car accident survivors could struggle to afford their necessary injury-related expenses in addition to their regular costs of living. 

According to the province’s Highway Traffic Act, all drivers in Ontario have a legal responsibility to provide other road users with a duty of care. This obligation is intended to protect everyone on the road from injury, including:

  • Other drivers
  • Their passengers
  • Motorcycle riders
  • Cyclists
  • Pedestrians
  • And possibly more

If a driver violates the rules of the road and engages in wrongful conduct, they have essentially shirked the duty of care they owe other road users. If their misconduct causes an accident in which another party sustains injuries, the at-fault driver could be considered negligent. Therefore, they may be liable for damages incurred by car accident victims because of the injuries they sustained. 

That is why, if you sustained injuries in a collision caused by another driver’s negligence, you might be entitled to compensation. To learn whether our Napanee car accident lawyers may be able to help you pursue a civil claim against the at-fault driver whose negligence led to your injuries, contact us today.

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.
