ACCIDENT BENEFITS
As part of Ontario's no-fault automobile insurance regime, "accident benefits" are a complicated creation of statute that require a person's own automobile insurance provider to compensate him or her for injuries suffered in a car accident.
Motor vehicle accidents continue to be the largest single source of claims filed in our courts today, and accident benefits claims regularly accompany them.
Members of our Accident Benefits Group defend a large volume of accident benefits claims, and frequently act on mediations, arbitrations, trials, and appeals, on such issues as:
- loss transfer;
- priority disputes between insurers; and
- work-related injuries.
Our Accident Benefits Group also regularly attends the following:
- Counsel Forum at the Financial Services Commission; and
- hearings before the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal.
We advise clients on a regular basis on all matters relating to accident benefits, and our trial experience is rich and varied. Our Accident Benefits Group strives to maximize the results for our clients, while minimizing the legal expense. We welcome any questions, and direct you to the lawyers below.
