Is there a difference between Canadian Personal Injury Law and the U.S.?

This video discusses the key differences between personal injury claims in Canada and the United States, emphasizing the limitations on pain and suffering damages in Canada. Unlike in the U.S., Canadian courts impose caps on compensation for pain and suffering, making it unlikely to receive significant amounts for minor incidents. The video also highlights that personal injury laws vary by province, affecting how victims can seek recovery for injuries from accidents like slip and falls or car collisions. For individuals in Ontario injured outside the province or in the U.S., consulting a lawyer is recommended to explore potential claims.

Insurers often take the position that if people recover and are able to get back to work, they will push for a graduated return to work or a work hardening plan to try to get you off their books. Their idea is that they can prove you are able to ease back into things after the two-year mark. They take the position that there is a job out there for everyone and that it is simply a matter of retraining.

The challenge for people is to prove how their disability prevents them from working day after day, week after week, and month after month. Many people may be able to get through a day, but they struggle when having to juggle the totality of the demands of the job.
