Do you need help with Ontario accident benefit insurance claims forms?
Ontario Insurance Claims Lawyers David Hollingsworth and Associates. I am often asked to help fill out Ontario accident benefit forms. This is a task that Ido every day and I know exactly how to fill them out so that there is no room for ambiguity. I don’t want to scare anyone off filling them out themselves but the truth is , they absolutely need to be filled out in detail and correctly. Unfortunately Ontario accident victims can’t miss giving pertinent information or the insurance company can use that against them when it comes time to settling their case. Is this fair?

It is worth me taking the extra time to help at the very beginning and I am happy to do so. The Ontario Accident Benefit Forms are detailed, complicated and there are many of them that need to be filled out in a timely manner.

Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth:What are income replacement benefits ( IRB ) ?
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Accident Benefits Insurance Claims, Ottawa Injury and Accidents, Personal Injury Claims on January 10th, 2012
Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth, Ontario Injury Lawyers, Income Replacement Benefits..Often times after suffering a personal injury in a motor vehicle accident you may not be able to return to work right away. You also may not be able to provide for yourself and your family. Depending on the severity of your personal injuries, you may not be able to work for a few days, maybe a few months or perhaps even longer. This is very stressful and this is where income replacement benefits comes in.
What are Income Replacement Benefits?
Income Replacement benefits are available to Ontario personal injury victims who were employed or self employed at the time of the motor vehicle accident in Ontario and who, as a result of the personal injuries sustained in the Ontario accident, “suffer a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of their employment”. This is the definition that applies for the first 2 years following a car accident in Ontario.
Following 2 years after an Ontario accident, it changes and becomes much more difficult to qualify for income replacement benefits. To continue to qualify for income replacement benefits, Ontario accident victims must have “a complete inability to engage in any employment or self-employment for which they are reasonably suited by education, training or experience.”
How much do Ontario accident victims get for Income Replacement Benefits?
The amount of income replacement benefits received depends on a number of different factors such as one’s income before the accident. As well as whether or not you opted to purchase additional accident benefits.
- For motor vehicle accidents occurring after September 1, 2010, the amount of the weekly income replacement benefits is based on 70% of your gross weekly income before the accident, subject to the maximum amounts.
- Under the standard accident benefits limits, the maximum weekly amount payable for the first 2 years following the accident in Ontario is $400 per week
- No income replacement benefits are payable in the first 7 days following an Ontario accident
- Optional accident benefits limits increase the maximum weekly amount to $600, $800 or $1,000 per week
How to apply for income replacement benefits…
In order to receive income replacement benefits, Ontario accident victims need to submit a completed
- OCF-10 Election of Income Replacement, Non-Earner or Caregiver Benefit
- OCF-3 Disability Certificate
- OCF-2 Employer’s Confirmation
If you have been involved in an Ontario car accident and are unable to work, you most likely qualify for income replacement benefits. It is important that before you fill out the associated accident benefits forms that you contact an experienced Ontario personal injury lawyer . The best Ontario personal injury lawyers not only will help you fill out these forms, they will ensure that it is done in a manner that gets you maximum benefits support.

Ontario Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth: Stages of an Ontario personal injury lawsuit.
Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyers, Ontario Accident Benefits, Ontario Personal Injury Lawsuits
Stages of an Ontario personal injury lawsuit..
After an accident, your world is turned upside down. You may have lost a loved one or you may be in pain and unable to do some everyday tasks you once could. You probably have a million questions that need to be answered. An Ontario personal injury lawyer can help answer any questions you may have that relate to Ontario accidents, personal injury, accident benefits, insurance claims, medical specialists, services available and more…Most people who come to me as an Ontario personal injury lawyer want to know how their case will proceed , how long it will take and what is the maximum compensation they are entitled to in Ontario.
There is no one answer to these questions but after reviewing all the facts in your case, an Ontario personal injury lawyer can best give you an idea of what course to take and what compensation you are entitled to.
What happened in an Ontario personal injury lawsuit?
Shortly after you hire an Ontario personal injury lawyer, they will notify the defendant (i.e. the person’s insurance company who you plan to sue) that you intend to file a claim. Typically the insurance company will try to negotiate directly with you and hope that an Ontario personal injury lawyer does not become involved. The reason for this is that typically Ontario personal injury lawyers can negotiate a much much larger settlement amount in compensation. They know how to develop a personal injury case to show not only what compensation you need now but what compensation you will need in 20 years from now as the result of an accident. If the insurance company does not offer you a reasonable amount your Ontario personal injury lawyer will commence the lawsuit. This is done by filing a document called a “Statement of Claim” with the Court office and then serving the defendant with the Statement of Claim. The insurance company generally have their own lawyers and will in turn file a “Statement of Defence”.
The Ontario personal injury lawyer and the representative for the insurance company then exchange documents and proceed to “examinations for discovery”. At the examinations for discovery, each side is asked questions about the accident by the other party’s lawyer.
The best Ontario personal injury lawyers will arrange medical examinations for you. The insurance company is also entitled to have you seen by medical professionals it chooses, although there are limits on this right. This is not something you should be afraid of; don’t worry.
Your Ontario personal injury lawyer and the insurance company can offer settlement compensation at any point and your Ontario personal injury case can be resolved at any given moment. A lot of Ontario lawsuits are settled at a “mediation”. A mediation in Ontario is an attempt to settle the case. The Ontario personal injury lawyer and the insurance company agree upon the mediator they want to reach a settlement amount in their personal injury case. A few months before trial, there will also be a “pre-trial” meeting . The pre-trial meeting is a venue whereby an Ontario judge can offer input to the Ontario personal injury lawyer, as well as the lawyer for the insurance company. Typically the Ontario judge will offer their opinions in regards to the strengths and weaknesses of the case. Often times, cases settle at, or shortly after, the pre-trial meeting. Most Ontario personal injury lawsuits are settled before trial. However, some lawsuit do not settle and you will be given a trial date. The unsuccessful party at trial can appeal the trial decision to the Court of Appeal for Ontario.
How long does a personal injury lawsuit in Ontario take to resolve?
The length of time it takes to resolve an Ontario personal injury lawsuit depends on many factors:
* How quickly you respond to your Ontario personal injury lawyer’s requests for information and documents;
* If the insurance company is cooperative;
* How long it takes for your doctors to provide a report as to what the long term implications of your personal injuries will be;
* How much time it takes to prepare and receive reports from doctors, other health professionals and other institutions;
* How long it takes for the defence lawyer to arrange various defence medical examinations: and
* How long it takes to obtain a trial date in Ontario. The sooner you commence your lawsuit, the better.
The most important thing you need to do after an accident is recover and rebuild. You will need help and support. Ask for help from friends and family. They are for you. Don’t worry about your Ontario personal injury lawsuit. Your Ontario personal injury lawyer will do that for you. They will represent you and fight on your behalf to ensure that you get everything you need and are entitled to. These are some of the most difficult and stressful times of your life; focus on yourself, family , friends and recovery. By hiring one of the best Ontario personal injury lawyers, you can concentrate on your recovery.
“I have rarely met with a client who is receiving the full amount of accident benefits that he or she needs and that he or she is entitled to following an accident in Ontario, without the help of a top Ontario personal injury lawyer. If you suffering from a personal injury or lost a loved one in a car accident, 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 Ontario accident. That’s what Ontario insurance is for. Don’t sell yourself or your family short. Let me help you…

Ottawa police looking for information : Kanata accident Carp Road
Ottawa Injury Lawyer, Ontario Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth -Defensive driving helped Kyla Helpin . She says she’s lucky to be alive after a rock from a passing truck smashed her windshield, just a few km from the spot where a similar Ottawa accident recently killed an Ottawa man. Helpin was driving north on Carp Road Friday near the intersection at McGee Side Road when the accident happened and the rock bounced off her windshield. Fortunately, she did not panic and kept control of her car or the situation could have been much worse.
Sadly, the Ottawa accident occurred close the spot where Jason Birch, a father of two, was killed 5 months ago, also on Carp Road, after a large boulder came through his windshield. Investigators were unable to determine whether the rock had fallen from a passing truck or been kicked up from the road.
There are several quarries and construction companies in the Kanata area, trucks are common on Carp Road, which makes it hard to identify any particular truck in this accident. Ottawa Police are asking anyone with information concerning this Ottawa accident to contact the Collisions Investigations department at 613-236-1222, ext. 2481.
