Motor Vehicle Accidents

 

When you or a loved one suffers serious injury, the aftermath is life changing and overwhelming. You are faced with a lengthy recovery, a complex insurance claim, an inability to work or care for your family, and other unexpected challenges. Brar Law Firm ensures you receive the appropriate compensation for your losses.

 

The law permits anyone injured as a result of a car accident to seek compensation for accident benefits as well as damages in tort for their injuries for pain and suffering and monetary losses. Many people do not know that the law, including the Insurance Act and Accident Benefits Schedule, impose significant legal barriers to compensation for victims of motor vehicle accidents. These include a statutory threshold for compensation and a statutory deductible.

Components to a Car Accident Case

​

 

1) No-fault Accident Benefits Claim

 

When involved in a vehicle collision in Ontario, you can claim benefits from your own insurance company regardless of who was at fault. This is normally the first step of action following a car accident. Claim benefits can include:

 

• Income replacement benefits

• Non-earner benefits

• Medical and rehabilitation expenses

• Caregiver/attendant care expenses

• Housekeeping and home maintenance expenses

 

2)  The Tort Claim

 

If you are a driver, passenger, cyclist or pedestrian injured in a car accident in Ontario, you can pursue legal action against the person or persons responsible for negligence. It is highly recommended to consult an injury lawyer for a tort claim for a motor vehicle accident.

 

Potential damages that can be awarded to an injured victim in a Tort claim include:

​

• Pain and suffering

• Loss of income
