Motor Vehicle Accidents

After being involved in a car accident, bicycle accident, motorcycle accident or slip and fall, people often wonder if you need a lawyer. In Ontario, there are many time limits one should be aware of when it comes to seeking compensation arising out of a motor vehicle accident.

For instance, a person who wants to apply for accident benefits must notify the insurer within 7 days from the date of the accident. For those people who are unable to apply for benefits within 7 days due to the severity of their injuries, the application must be made as soon thereafter as it can reasonably be done. The insurer will then send to the insured the appropriate application forms. Within 30 days of receipt of the forms, a completed application for benefits should be submitted by the injured person to the insurer. Failure to comply with these time limits may not disentitle a person to benefits if there is a reasonable excuse.

Under the Insurance Act, an action for loss or damage from bodily injury or death arising from the use or operation of an automobile shall not be commenced unless the Plaintiff has severed written notice of the intention to commence the action on the Defendant within 120 days after the incident. Under the Limitation Act, a proceeding or law suit shall not be commenced in respect of a claim after the second anniversary of the day on which the claim was discovered (usually the day of the accident).

Slip and Fall

Slip and fall accidents that occur on property owned by someone other than the injured victim are often referred to as an Occupier’s Liability Accidents. In Ontario, an occupier of premises owes a duty to take such care as in all the circumstances of the case is reasonable to see that persons entering on the premises are reasonably safe while on the premises.

Long-term insurance disability disputes

If you have purchased a disability plan or work for a company that includes a disability plan in their benefits package then you have made a responsible and intelligent decision. These plans are your protection against unforeseen injury, accident and illness. However, many insured individuals are surprised by how difficult it can be to apply and collect benefits. Insurance companies are in business to make a profit. It makes business sense for them to delay or deny claims. Toronto Personal Injury Lawyers realizes that at a time when you are unable to work due to injury or illness your financial resources will be compromised. That is why in almost all cases we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not have to pay any fees until your case is settled or successfully won at trial
