Ontario has a statutory accident benefits scheme and every Ontario resident injured in a motor vehicle accident is entitled to certain benefits. The statutory scheme is very complex and our lawyers will help walk you through the necessary Statutory Accident Benefit Applications and help make sure you get the maximum benefits and settlement possible.
Your accident benefits are calculated based on a number of factors, including the severity of your injuries, your pre-accident income, and any extra accident benefits you may qualify for. If you are involved in a motor vehicle collision or other type of motor vehicle accident (MVA), you must apply for accident benefits before you can sue the responsible driver for damages.
Spinal cord injuries can involve one or more of the body’s 33 vertebrae that make up your spinal column. Injuries range in severity from a complete injury, when the spinal cord has been fully severed, to incomplete spinal cord injuries, which may involve a fracture, fragment, displacement, compression, tear or other damage to the spine, vertebrae and nerve cells along your spinal column.
