What accident benefits are available to me?

This video outlines the various benefits available to individuals who have sustained injuries, emphasizing the importance of understanding your entitlements. Most injured persons qualify for medical and rehabilitation benefits, covering expenses such as physiotherapy and assistive devices, with limits based on the classification of their injuries. For minor injuries, the cap is $3,500, while more severe injuries can access up to $65,000 over five years, or even $1 million for catastrophic impairments. Additionally, those unable to work may qualify for income replacement benefits. Consulting with a lawyer from Preszler Injury Lawyers, such as Jeffrey Preszler, can help ensure you receive all the benefits you deserve. For assistance, call 1-800-JUSTICE.

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.
