What are the two types of recovery that a victim of a motor vehicle accident may be entitled to?
Summary
This video explains the two types of claims individuals can make after an accident: statutory accident benefits and tort claims. Statutory accident benefits offer limited financial support for lost wages and cover reasonable treatment costs for a specified duration, assisting victims while their lawsuit against the at-fault driver is processed. In contrast, the tort claim addresses long-term losses and compensation for pain and suffering. Understanding these claims is crucial for anyone navigating the complexities of personal injury law in Canada.

Occupiers are not held to a standard of perfection. Even if you have a witness who saw the water or ice, that does not result in an automatic finding of negligence. You need to be able to prove that the system of inspection and maintenance was deficient. Additionally, you will need a lawyer to help you understand what damages you are legally entitled to recover. This is a complicated area of law and can be difficult for an untrained person to understand. At present, we have over 55 years of experience handling cases just like yours.
