Ontario’s Cuts to Catastrophic Benefits

This video discusses the significant reduction of catastrophic benefits for injured individuals in Ontario, which were cut from $2 million to $1 million without any corresponding premium discounts. This change has left many victims, particularly those with spinal cord or brain injuries, facing financial challenges as these funds can be depleted rapidly. The video emphasizes the importance of exploring all available benefits, including optional coverages that many may not be aware of. With a history of assisting seriously injured victims since 1959, Preszler Injury Lawyers is dedicated to ensuring clients receive the support they need.

Ontario slashed catastrophic benefits in half. If you're catastrophically injured, you'd expect full coverage, but Ontario law says otherwise. Before 2016, catastrophically injured accident victims could access $2 million in benefits. That was cut in half to $1 million. There were no premium discounts, just less protection. For someone with a spinal cord injury or a brain injury, a million can be spent quickly. We make sure clients explore every possible benefit, including optional coverages most people don't even know exist. We've been helping seriously injured victims since 1959. Call us at 1-800-JUSTICE.
