What are my rights if I have injuries as a result of a car accident ? If you have suffered an injury in an accident and you are either the driver or a passenger in a vehicle, a pedestrian, a cyclist or the driver of another vehicle, you will be entitled to Accident Benefits regardless of whether or not you were at fault in the accident. If you were not at fault in the accident, in addition to Accident Benefits, you may have the right to sue the at-fault driver (covered by his or her insurance company) for pain and suffering, and other out of pocket expenses and lost income. In particular, you are entitled to make a claim against the at-fault driver for injuries that result in a permanent and serious disfigurement or permanent serious impairment of an important physical, mental or psychological function, as well as any income losses. You may also claim out-of-pocket expenses, health expenses, future care costs, ongoing handy person needs, and future and past economic losses caused by the accident. click here to return to the F.A.Q. page

 I have rarely met with a client who is receiving the full amount of benefits that he or she needs and that he or she is entitled to following an accident, without the help of a personal injury lawyer. If you are injured, you owe it to yourself and to your loved ones to get every benefit to which you are entitled, so that you can get back to being the person you were before the accident. That’s what insurance is for. Don’t sell yourself or your family short. Let me help you… David Hollingsworth |
