Kapukasing Car Accident Lawyer

Car accidents can be fatal.  In recent years, traffic fatalities in Ontario reached a historic high. Hundreds of innocent, law-abiding community members lost their lives because other drivers failed to consider the potentially dangerous consequences of their wrongful actions behind the wheel.

Motor vehicle collisions can also cause unsuspecting road-users– including drivers, passengers, cyclists, motorcycle riders, pedestrians, and others– to sustain severe, debilitating injuries. In the blink of an eye, the course of a person’s entire life can be radically and permanently altered, all because of another person’s poor decisions and illegal conduct. 

Injured car accident survivors often find it difficult to afford both their regular costs of living in addition to the essential costs of their medical care and treatments. This is especially true for injured car crash survivors who are unable to continue carrying out the duties of their jobs as a result of the injuries they sustained. As time passes and bills continue to accumulate, financial stresses combined with the often-isolating and demoralizing process of physical recovery can cause injured car accident survivors to develop destabilizing mental health issues. 

Depending on the severity of the injuries they have sustained, car accident survivors may find themselves facing persistent and chronic pain, overwhelming emotional and psychological distress, and financial instability. Sustaining injuries in a car accident often involves lengthy periods of hospitalization, intensive physical rehabilitation, dramatic changes to one’s lifestyle, and other necessary expenses that can quickly become overwhelmingly costly. 

All automobile insurance policies in the province are required to provide coverage in accordance with the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS). Among other forms of coverage, the SABS mandates that all automobile insurance policies include access to no-fault accident benefits. That means that, even if a driver’s own errors or wrongdoings behind the wheel contributed to the circumstances that caused the collision to occur, if they were injured in the crash, they should be entitled to receive compensation for certain injury-related expenses. These often include:

• Medical expenses
• Attendant care 
• Physiotherapy 
• Mobility aids, assistive medical equipment
• Prescriptions
• Home modifications to accommodate newly acquired disabilities 
• Ambulance services
• Mileage expenses to and from medical appointments
• Housekeeping services
• And possibly more 

However, even after receiving accident benefits from their insurance providers, injured car crash victims often find themselves struggling to keep up with all of the costs they have incurred, especially if the injuries they sustained were permanent and catastrophic in nature. 

After sustaining compensable injuries in a car crash, it can be difficult to know which courses of action you might be entitled to pursue in order to recover fair compensation for the costs you have incurred.
