Tort Claim - Motor Vehicle Accidents
Toronto Car Accident Lawyers
If you've been in a motor vehicle accident, you are entitled to government-regulated accident benefits through your insurance company, but in some cases, it is difficult to obtain rehabilitation and compensation for injuries. Our experienced team has developed strategies to ensure that you receive all your available benefits.
In addition to your claim for accident benefits, if you were not at fault for the accident in which you were injured, you may also have a claim against the driver who was responsible. This is known as the "tort" claim.
If you've been involved in an accident, and are not at fault, you need to know what other benefits and compensation are available to you beyond your insurance. Too many people in Ontario have lost the opportunity to obtain damages for lost income and pain and suffering because they didn't know their rights. These can amount to substantial losses.
Let us explain your options to you and help you understand your rights. Don't lose the protection of the law for you and your family
Accident Insurance Benefits
Accident benefits are payable to you if you are injured in a motor vehicle accident regardless of whether or not you are at fault for the accident. These benefits are payable by your own insurance company if you were insured; otherwise, they are paid by the insurer for the at-fault driver.
Even though your insurer is obligated to provide these benefits to you, many people encounter roadblocks and spend their time being shuffled off to insurance medical examinations or encountering refusals to fund benefits. Even though you have insurance, you may need a lawyer to make sure you obtain the appropriate benefits.
