Accident Benefits Claims in Toronto
If you have been involved in an accident even if it was your fault, you may still be entitled to make a claim for accident benefits. If you are injured and you are insured by a motor vehicle policy, you must claim these benefits from your own insurance company. They would cover such categories as Income Replacement, Caregiver, or Non-Earner Benefits. In addition, you may claim for Medical Benefits, Rehabilitation Benefits, Attendant Care Benefits, Housekeeping Expenses and Visitor Benefits. There may also be additional benefits available to you.
Ontario law requires that all automobile policies include Accident Benefits Coverage. Some of the accident benefits you may be entitled to include income replacement benefits of up to 80% of your net income (maximum $400.00 per week); non-earner benefits of up to $185.00 per week; caregiver benefits of up to $250.00 per week; medical and rehabilitation benefits to a maximum of $100,000.00 for up to 10 years of coverage; attendant care benefits of up to $3,000.00 per month for 2 years; housekeeping and home maintenance expenses of up to $100.00 per week for 2 years; lost education expenses for students (maximum $15,000.00); also, death benefits and travel expenses may be claimed in particular instances.
