Ontario No-Fault Accident Benefits (Accident Benefits or SABs)

Most Ontario residents who are injured in a motor vehicle accident are entitled to receive Ontario statutory accident benefits. You don’t usually have to sue to access these benefits. However, without legal advice, you may not receive all of the benefits to which you are entitled. These include: income replacement benefits, caregiver benefits, attendant care benefits, housekeeping benefits, medical and rehabilitation benefits and visitors’ expenses, to name some but not all of the benefits you may be entitled to. It is a good idea to have a lawyer acting on your behalf, in your best interests. Especially if you are in no condition mentally or physically to handle this type of stress. Read our article entitled Important Answers About Statutory Accident Benefits.

Ottawa Slips and Falls and Trips and Falls Causing Injuries

We help injured people in Ottawa and other Ontario locations whose injuries are caused by the fault or negligence of others. This includes people injured in Ontario slips, trips and falls and other unsafe conditions on property. We have represented people injured while visiting Ontario malls, grocery stores, apartment buildings, cottages and taverns, as well as people who have slipped and fallen on ice. We pursue compensation from large corporations, including the City, as well as negligent individuals.

Injuries at an Ontario School

Your child’s school has an obligation to keep the property, and your child, safe. Playground, school trip or gym class injuries are common in Ottawa and often give rise to a claim for compensation. Your child deserves any compensation available to him or her after an accident. Remember, Ontario school boards carry liability insurance.  Your child’s claim does not take money out of the school’s education budget.

Ontario Dog Bites or Attacks

If you are bitten or attacked by a dog in Ontario, you have a good chance of obtaining compensation. Dog owners are responsible for aggression shown by their dogs. If you are bitten, you may require serious medical intervention. There is also often an important psychological impact of dog attacks that our Ottawa injury lawyers understand.

Ontario Medical Malpractice

If you suffer harm while receiving medical or dental treatment in Ontario, you may be entitled to compensation. Ontario health care professionals are required to meet a basic standard of care. If they fail to meet that standard, and you suffer injury as a result, you should consult an Ottawa personal injury lawyer to see if you are entitled to compensation.

Ontario Defective Products

If you are injured because of the way a product is sold, packaged, displayed or labeled, you may have a claim for compensation from the store that sold it to you or the companies that made or distributed the product. An experienced Ottawa product liability lawyer can help you determine if you have a case.

We represent injured accident victims in Ottawa, Smiths Falls, Perth, Cornwall, Napanee, Kingston, Hawksbury, L'Orignal, Pembroke, Petawawa, Peterborough, Renfrew, Tweed, Ottawa Valley, Cobden, Eganville, Almonte, Arnrprior, Calabogie, Richmond, North Gower, Manotick, Metcalfe, Winchester, Alfred, Brockville, Toronto, North Bay and many Ontario Accident Locations in between.
