Windsor Car Accident Lawyer


According to a recent report on road safety statistics released by the provincial Ministry of Transportation, in just one year, more than 31,000 individuals were injured in motor vehicle collisions on Ontario’s roads and highways. Injuries resulting from car accidents can range in severity from moderate to catastrophic. Their impacts on an accident survivor’s life can be physical, emotional, psychological, and financial. 

Injured car accident survivors are often forced to go to exorbitant personal expense in order to afford their necessary costs of medical care.The financial losses they incur can be substantial, especially if their injuries make it impossible for them to continue working in their chosen profession. Unable to earn their regular wages, injured accident survivors may find themselves struggling to afford both their regular monthly expenses and newly acquired costs arising from their injuries. 

In accordance with the province’s Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act, it is mandatory for the owners, lessees, and operators of motor vehicles to have insurance. All Ontario automobile insurance policies provide the various types of coverage mandated within the provincial Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS). Therefore, anyone who is injured in a car accident– regardless of their level of culpability for causing the collision to occur– should be entitled to no-fault accident benefits, a mandatory form of coverage detailed in the SABS. 

However, depending on the severity of the injuries sustained in the accident and the overall toll they have taken on an accident survivor’s life, the insurance coverage available to them may not sufficiently cover their total losses. In order to pursue the amount of compensation they are rightfully owed, people who were injured in collisions caused by another driver’s negligence might be entitled to pursue a civil claim against them. 

That is because, in accordance with the province’s Highway Traffic Act, drivers on Ontario’s roads and highways have a legal obligation to fulfill a duty of care to other road-users. If a driver neglects this duty of care by violating the rules of the road– even for a brief moment– they might be considered negligent if their actions lead to an injurious collision with another road-user. Therefore, they may be liable for damages incurred by injured victims of their negligence. 

Depending on the circumstances of the case, these damages might include:

  • Medical expenses
  • Pain and suffering
  • 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
  • Psychological counseling
  • And possibly more
