Now more than ever, it is essential for drivers to exercise reasonable caution, patience, and consideration on the road and abide by local traffic laws in accordance with the province’s Highway Traffic Act. Unfortunately, drivers in Orillia frequently behave recklessly, carelessly, selfishly, or with complete disregard for the safety of other road users, including:

  • Other drivers
  • Their passengers
  • Motorcyclists
  • Bicycle riders
  • Pedestrians
  • And others

The consequences of a driver’s negligence can be far-reaching, all-encompassing, and deadly. In fact, fatalities resulting from motor vehicle collisions recently reached an all-time provincial high.

Those fortunate enough to survive traumatic motor vehicle collisions often sustain a number of injuries that can range in severity from moderate to catastrophic. These injuries may require hospitalization, expensive medical treatment, long periods of convalescence, and even drastic changes to a victim’s daily life.

Survivors of collisions often struggle to cope with pain and discomfort, social isolation, emotional distress, and financial insecurity. All because of another driver’s failure to consider the potential consequences of their actions, an innocent, unsuspecting person could feel the adverse effects of their injuries for the rest of their lives.

Some of the injuries frequently sustained as a result of car accidents in Orillia include:

In addition to the physical and economic challenges often experienced by seriously injured car accident survivors, many accident victims who have sustained substantial physical injuries also develop significant mental health issues. Often debilitating in nature, these secondary disabilities can profoundly affect an injured accident victim’s overall quality of life. This is especially true for the survivors of motor vehicle collisions who are no longer able to work because of the psychological after-effects of their accidents. These often include:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Insomnia or other sleep disorders
  • Alcohol use disorder
  • And more

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.
