Many injured car accident survivors are hesitant to pursue legal action against the negligent driver whose wrongful conduct caused them to sustain injuries. Rather than instigate more conflict during an already challenging moment in their lives, many injured car crash survivors try to make do with the accident benefits they are awarded from their insurance provider. 

No matter who was responsible for causing your injurious collision, if you were injured as the result of a crash, you might be entitled to compensation. In accordance with the province’s Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act, anyone who owns, leases, operates, or allows a motor vehicle to be operated must have automobile insurance. All automobile insurance policies in Ontario must offer the coverage outlined in the province’s Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS). As such, all automobile insurance plans in the province must include coverage for no-fault accident benefits.

That means that, regardless of which driver’s wrongful actions caused the collision to occur, injured survivors of that collision should be able to recover certain costs associated with their injuries through their insurance plans. Accident benefits often provide injured car crash survivors with compensation for:

  • Medical expenses
  • Attendant care
  • 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 

While accident benefits can provide injured car crash survivors with much-needed financial relief to help them cope with the newly acquired post-accident expenses, the amount of available benefits is rarely enough to cover the total losses they have incurred. This is especially true for accident victims who have sustained severe or catastrophic injuries. Depending on the severity of the injuries they have sustained and their effects on a victim’s overall quality of life, the accident benefits available to them may not even come close to compensating them fairly. 

No matter how severe your accident-related injuries may be, your life could be inconvenienced, disrupted, and permanently impacted by the negligence of a complete stranger. At Preszler Injury Lawyers, we believe that no one should be forced to pay for someone else’s negligence.

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.
