Personal Injuries:
If you have been injured in an accident, or you cannot find same language with your insurance company about your accident benefits – we can help you to resolve all your issues.
If you are injured in an automobile accident in Ontario, your car insurance policy entitles you to certain accident benefits that are payable whether or not the accident was your fault.
They include income replacement benefits if you are not able to return to work and benefits to cover the cost of reasonable medical, rehabilitation, attendant care, and home maintenance services.
Usually, accident benefits are paid by your own insurance company. Even if you do not have your own automobile insurance policy, you can apply for benefits from the company that insures the automobile inwhich you were a passenger or which hit you.
If you and your insurance company disagree about your entitlement to accident benefits, or the amount of
benefits, call us: (416) 512-7506
