LEGAL MATTERS ON PERSONAL INJURY
Accident Benefits You May Be Entitled To

If you’ve had a misfortune of being injured in a motor vehicle accident, you may be entitled to the accident benefits. Please remember, getting financial compensation is anything but simple. The process can be overwhelming even for professionals.

The most commonly-accessed accident benefits (but not limited to) are:

• Income replacement. You are entitled to 80% of your net income to a maximum of $400 per week if you are substantially unable to perform the essential tasks of your occupation or employment during the first 104 weeks. Thereafter, you can continue to receive these benefits as long as you are continuously disabled from any occupation for which you are reasonably suited by education, training and experience for up to $400 a week or 80% of your net income.
• You may receive non-earner benefits of up to $185 a week if you are not employed. If you suffer a complete inability to carry on a normal life as a result of the injuries from the accident. No benefits are payable under this category for the first six months after the accident.
• Caregiver costs of up to $250 a week, if you were the primary caregiver of a person in need (with whom you were residing), plus $50 for each additional person in need of care
• Medical and rehabilitation costs (above OHIP) to a maximum of $100,000 for up to 10 years for a non-catastrophic injury, and up to $1,000,000 for the rest of the victim's life in the case of a catastrophic injury.
• Special Attendant Care of up to $3,000 a month for two years for a non-catastrophic injury, and up to $6,000 a month for the victim's lifetime for a catastrophic injury.
• Housekeeping and Home Maintenance of up to $100 per week.
• Death Benefits of $25,000 for the spouse of the victim; $10,000 for each of the victim's dependents; $10,000 to the person who cared for the victim; up to $6,000 for funeral expenses.
• Travel Expenses for family members or those living with the accident victim for their visiting costs during treatment or recovery.
• Lost Education benefits for students to a maximum of $15,000.

In Addition to the Accident Benefits Mentioned Above

You may also be entitled to other benefits, such as payments for lost education expenses, the cost of family visiting you during your treatment, some housekeeping and home maintenance, repair or replacement of eyeglasses or clothing damaged in the accident.

You can also be compensated for the non-monetary aspects of the specific injuries that have affected your life. The legal term for that is pain, suffering and loss of amenity. It could be, for example, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of companionship, disfigurement or inability of doing the type of work that you have done before accident happened (it is called loss of congenial employment), etc. However, it is not easy to win such cases.

If you believe that the accident was the result of someone else's negligence, you are entitled to bring a separate lawsuit to recover "tort" compensation.

	Slip and Fall Accidents Thousands of claims are made each year for “slip and fall” accidents. If you fell down and got injured in a supermarket because someone dropped banana on the floor, or you slipped on the wet floor and hit your head in the washroom in the office building, you may file a lawsuit against the owner of the property for injuries suffered. Slip and fall is a tort, which is based on a claim that the property owner was negligent. Come to us to discuss the options you have to compensate your damage if you suffer injury caused by slipping and falling while on somebody else’s property. Our consultations are free.
	Product Liability If you have been harmed by dangerous or defective products we can help you to determine if you are eligible for financial compensation. Product liability cases are challenging, very complicated from the legal point of view and require special technical knowledge. Very often product liability cases require investigation and authoritative testimony from the experts. If you think your case is a product liability claim, our lawyers may be able to help you recover financial compensation. Do not hesitate to call us. Talk is cheap.
	Dog Bites and Animal Attacks Do you know that each year many people, especially, children and seniors, are seriously injured as a result of dog bites? If you or some of your friends or relatives has suffered a dog bite or attack and don’t know what to do, contact us as soon as possible. The Ontario government is protecting Ontarians by legislation to ban pit bulls and toughen penalties for the owners of any dog that poses a danger to the public. The legislation set up the fines up to a maximum of $10,000, and allow for jail sentences of up to 6 months for individuals who own dangerous dogs that bite, attack or pose a threat. The legislation also allows fines up to a maximum of $60,000 for corporations who own such dogs.
	Baby Injuries Kid’s safety is our primary concern. Our major responsibility is to keep our beloved little ones safe as they grow. But if we were not that cautious and something wrong has happened then obtaining maximum compensation for our clients is our main goal.

Whiplash Associated Disorders:
Whiplash is an acceleration-deceleration mechanism of energy transfer to the neck. It may be caused by rear-end or side-impact motor vehicle collisions. The impact may result in bony or soft-tissue injuries, which in turn may lead to a variety of clinical manifestations.

 

Low Back Conditions:
The low back conditions which are of less than three months' duration can be classified as either:

• Non-specific back symptoms - back pain occurring mainly in the back and suggesting neither nerve root compromise nor a serious underlying pathology; and
• Sciatica - low back related lower limb symptoms suggesting lumbosacral nerve root compromise, e.g. neurological signs which include decreased or absent deep tendon reflexes, weakness and sensory deficits.

Pain Control:
components may include a variety of techniques ranging from the application of physical modalities such as ice, heat, ultrasound or electrical stimulation and a regimen of mobilization or manipulation.

 

Injury Specific Exercise/Education:
components may include: instructing clients on avoiding further injury and facilitating their own recovery, emphasizing long-term self-directed management based on exercise and lifestyle changes; teaching patients to perform functional activities or activities of daily living; and exercise designed specifically to address the impairment.
