Ontario Accident Benefits Lawyer, Limitations and Compensations

Ontario Accident Benefits Lawyer, David Hollingsworth…Obtaining an Ontario personal injury lawyer after an accident in Ontario is important to protect your rights and ensure you receive ALL the compensation you are entitled to.  The province of Ontario has many time limitations  when it comes to seeking compensation for personal injuries due to a motor vehicle accident and other Ontario accidents. Often times, just figuring out if you need an Ontario personla injury lawyer is your first concern after an Ontario a car accident, bicycle accident, motorcycle accident, or slip and fall accident.

When you have been involved in an Ontario accident and you would like to pursue applying for Ontario accident benefits compensation from your insurance company, you are responsible for notifying the insurer within 7 days of the date of the Ontario accident. In some cases the personal injuries you suffer  may be so serious that you are unable to apply for Ontario accident benefits within the 7 day grace period, in which case you must do it asap. Once the insurance company has sent the accident benefit  forms you will then have 30 days from the point you receive the accident benefit application to return the forms back to your insurance company. If you fail to meet these timelines, don’t worry- all is not lost as long as there is a reasonable excuse for the forms being returned late.

The Ontario Insurance Act states the following; when attempting to obtain compensation due to loss, damage from bodily personal injury or wrongful death arising from the use or operation of an automobile the plaintiff (injured party) must present written notice to start a lawsuit against the defendant within 120 days of the Ontario accident and a law suit can not be started after 2 years  of the original claim .

Recovery after a traumatic personal injury can be a very complicated and stressful  time and a top personal injury lawyer can help you through difficult times, helping you with medical reports, insurance adjusters and complicated insurance forms.
