Driving in Toronto can be a challenge. In addition to major construction and heavy traffic, drivers share the road with millions of other licensed motorists, and it only takes one negligent driver to cause a collision. Passenger vehicle accidents in the city can result in serious injuries.

Data provided by the Toronto Police Service indicates that, although the number of fatalities resulting from car accidents is on the decline, a substantial number of drivers are injured in Toronto-area collisions each year.

If another driverโ€™s negligence caused a car accident in which you sustained injuries, a Toronto passenger vehicle accident lawyer may be able to provide you with useful legal advice and assistance.

Common Injuries From Passenger Vehicle Accidents

In 2019, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation recorded more than 30,000 collisions resulting in personal injury in the province. The severity of injuries sustained in passenger vehicle accidents can vary depending on the circumstances. Some car accident survivors may walk away from a crash with nothing but mild bruising, while others may feel the impact of that collision for the rest of their lives.

Furthermore, per the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, national economic losses from health care costs and lost productivity resulting from collision-related injuries is upwards of $10 billion annually, which is approximately one percent of the countryโ€™s GDP.

Passenger vehicle accidents can cause severe, catastrophic injuries, which may result in a diminished quality of life and substantial financial burdens. Some common passenger vehicle injuries include:

Recovering Damages Following A Passenger Vehicle Accident

Following an accident, taking some immediate measures may be able to help you prevent further injury, and could strengthen future legal cases against the responsible driver. These actions include:

  • Seeking immediate medical attention
  • Talking to eyewitnesses and requesting their names and contact information
  • Recording details about the accident while theyโ€™re fresh in your mind
  • Providing law enforcement officers with a thorough description of the circumstances leading to the collision

If another driverโ€™s negligent behaviour caused you to sustain serious injuries, a Toronto passenger vehicle accident lawyer may be able to help you recover accident benefits from your insurance company.

In cases where an insurerโ€™s accident benefits do not cover the full cost of a car accident victimโ€™s damages, they may be eligible to pursue additional compensation. A Toronto passenger vehicle accident lawyer may be able to help eligible victims file legal action against the driver responsible for their collision, in order to recover the following damages:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost income due to an inability to work
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Loss of future income
  • Pain and suffering

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.
