Motor Vehicle and Car Accident Claims
Every moment on Ontario's roads carries inherent risks. While most drivers operate their vehicles responsibly, a single act of negligence or distraction can result in devastating consequences that change lives forever.
Car accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, from minor bruises and cuts to catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, and internal organ damage. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent following an accident.
Types of Motor Vehicle Accidents
Our experienced legal team handles various types of motor vehicle accidents, including rear-end collisions, multi-vehicle crashes, hit-and-run incidents, and pedestrian accidents. Legal expertise is essential because insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts, and determining fault can be complex.
When you choose Bogoroch & Associates LLP, you can expect a thorough investigation of your accident, expert negotiation with insurance companies, comprehensive case preparation, and aggressive advocacy on your behalf. Our lawyers will handle all legal aspects of your claim while keeping you informed throughout the process.
Do I Need a Car Accident Injury Lawyer?
If you've sustained serious injuries in a car accident, consulting with an experienced Toronto car accident lawyer is essential. Whether you are dissatisfied with accident benefit offers or considering pursuing additional compensation through legal action against an at-fault party, our Toronto car accident lawyers will stand by your side and fight for your interests.
Legal representation becomes particularly important when dealing with severe injuries, disputed fault determinations, or when the other party is uninsured. However, rest assured, our team has the expertise to evaluate your case and determine the best legal strategy for your specific situation.
What Are Your Rights If You Have Been in an Accident?
Understanding your rights following a car accident in Ontario is crucial for protecting your interests and ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve. As an accident victim, you have specific rights under Ontario law that are designed to provide financial support and hold negligent parties accountable for their actions.
Your primary right is to receive no-fault accident benefits through your own insurance policy, the policy of the driver of the car in which you were a passenger, or the policy of the person who hit you if you were a pedestrian, regardless of who caused the accident. These benefits are available to all accident victims and include coverage for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, income replacement, attendant care, and other essential services needed for your recovery.
Additionally, if another party was at fault for your accident, you have the right to pursue a tort claim for damages in addition to accident benefits. This includes compensation for pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and additional financial losses that exceed what accident benefits provide.
What Should You Do If You Have Car Insurance?
Having car insurance provides important protection, but navigating the claims process can be challenging. Your insurance policy entitles you to various no-fault benefits, but insurance companies may attempt to minimize these benefits or deny legitimate claims.
It's crucial to report your accident to your insurance company promptly, but avoid providing recorded statements without legal counsel. Our car accident lawyers in Toronto can communicate with your insurance company on your behalf to ensure your rights are protected.
What Compensation Are You Entitled to If You Have Been a Victim of a Car Accident?
Anyone injured in a car accident in Ontario is entitled to no-fault accident benefits through their automobile insurance policy, even if they caused the accident. If you lack insurance, such as in the case of a pedestrian or bicyclist, you can claim benefits from the insurer of the vehicle that struck you.
Available accident benefits may include medical and rehabilitation benefits, income replacement benefits, non-earner benefits, and attendant care benefits. For those with catastrophic impairments, lifetime benefits are available, including additional services such as housekeeping and case management.
Beyond accident benefits, you may also commence a tort lawsuit against the at-fault party. This compensation includes:
- Damages for pain and suffering
- Past and future loss of income
- Health care expenses
- Housekeeping expenses
Family members can also pursue claims for loss of care, guidance, and companionship under the Family Law Act; R.S.O. 1990 c. F.3. Remember, there is a two-year limitation period to start a lawsuit arising from a motor vehicle accident.
