Getting You The Legal And Financial Help You Need
At Car Accident Toronto, our mission is to coordinate legal, medical, and rehab services for car accident victims in the GTA, at no additional cost to the recipient (see How It All Works). We help victims get reliable, professional assistance in the fastest, friendliest way possible.
Financial assistance through the offices of a personal injury lawyer
Persons injured in a car accident often need financial help in meeting their expenses. If you were hurt in a car accident in Toronto, a personal injury lawyer can help you apply for accident benefits. These benefits provide immediate financial assistance to victims in meeting their regular, daily expenses.
Furthermore, when a car accident injury occurs, someone is usually at fault. If you were injured but not at fault, the personal injury lawyer could help you get financial compensation, and there is a good chance of success. The same lawyer could assist with both accident benefits and compensation.
Benefits
If you have auto insurance, you are likely covered for short-term accident benefits. Here are some of the standard benefits included in motor vehicle insurance policies:
- Income replacement benefits up to $400 per week [1]
- A personal injury lawyer can help Toronto accident victims apply for these benefits.
- Non-earner benefits of $185 every two weeks [1]
- If you’re (a) not eligible for income replacement or caregiver benefits and (b) not able to engage in your regular daily activities, one of our personal injury lawyers can help you apply for this benefit.
- Caregiver benefits up to $250 per week for the first dependent and $50 per week for each additional [1]
- If you are a full-time caregiver, and you are prevented from providing such care because of a Toronto car accident, a personal injury lawyer can assist.
- Medical and rehabilitation benefits, covering medical and rehab treatment, e.g., physiotherapy, chiropractic, or dentistry [1]
- A personal injury lawyer can help Toronto accident victims recover up to $100,000 or, if the injury is catastrophic, $1 million.
- Attendant care benefits [1]
- If you need to hire a somebody to assist you in coping with the result of a car accident, a personal injury lawyer can help you recover up to $72,000. If your injury is catastrophic, the limit is $1 million.
A personal injury lawyer can help victims get compensation
As mentioned above, when a person is injured in a Toronto car accident, someone is usually at fault (visit our page on driver negligence). If you were injured but not at fault, there’s a good chance you:
- Have a basis for a lawsuit.
- Can either win the lawsuit or achieve a favorable settlement, with an excellent personal injury lawyer.
- Will receive greater compensation than if the accident was your fault.
Excellent personal injury lawyer is the operative phrase, and that’s where Car Accident Toronto comes in. We screen lawyers before letting them join our network. We know which attributes a personal injury lawyer needs in order to be successful.
We are in a very good position to determine which lawyers perform best, because we liaise regularly with medical doctors, rehab professionals, and others who work closely with Toronto personal injury lawyers. The ones we recommend are those endorsed not only by their peers, but by medical professionals who know them personally and can vouch for the quality of their work.
Sometimes it’s difficult for car accident victims to determine whether they have been hurt seriously enough to warrant engaging the services of a personal injury lawyer. If so, we’d be glad to help. Please feel free to send us an email via help (at) caraccidenttoronto.com.
