David Hollingsworth, Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer  and his team can help you file for Accident Benefits in the event of a motor vehicle accident. You must file a formal application in the prescribed form with the Accident Benefits Insurer. The Accident Benefits Insurer is the first in the following list that applies to you:

• The insurer of the vehicle you own or are insured for;
• The insurer of the vehicle in which you were traveling when injured;
• The insurer of any other vehicle involved in the accident.
• If there is no insurer described in 1), 2), or 3) (above), you must apply to the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund.

There are important time limits and information disclosure that you must comply with in order to obtain Accident Benefits and maintain your continuing entitlements.
Some of these include:

• Providing notice to the accident benefits insurer within 7 day of the accident.
• Completing and submitting an application for accident benefits within 30 days of receipt from the insurer.
• Having your treating health care professional and your employer complete certain forms.
• Providing other information that you are required to provide.
• You should consult a personal injury lawyer to confirm what information you must provide and which information you are not required to provide to the insurance company.
