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? Absolutely not but it does happen. That is why I feel strongly about guiding my clients through this process. 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. Not to mention that you or a family member has just been in an accident and filling out forms is the last thing on your mind. I can tell you first hand that people come to me to tell me their story and get some advice. As soon as I help them with their forms, it is like a weight has been lifted and they are able to catch their breath. I know the stress associated with an accident and I, along with my team of Ottawa personal injury lawyers, accident benefit specialists and personal injury law clerks are dedicated to not only getting maximum compensation for our clients, we want to help them rebuild their lives after an accident.

Ottawa Accident Lawyer: Important timelines when filing an insurance claim after an accident.
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Accident Benefits Insurance Claims, Ottawa Injury and Accidents on November 18th, 2012
Ottawa accident Lawyers David Hollingsworth and Associates…Anyone can get hurt in an accident at any given moment. It happens so quickly and the after effects can be devastating. In Ontario, there are certain timelines that need to be adhered to make an insurance claim as easy as possible, following an accident. If you or someone you love has been injured in an accident, these timelines need to be adhered to as best as possible.
First and foremost, if needed seek medical attention immediately and ensure that your health needs are being met.
Within 7 days of your accident, it is crucial…
That you or a loved one notifies your insurance company of the accident.
Within 30 Days of your accident, it is crucial…
That you make an application for accident benefits.
Within 2 Years of your accident, it is crucial…
Your personal injury lawyer files a tort claim against the party who is at fault for the accident. This in turn, makes a claim against the insurer if you are denied accident benefits from your own insurance company.
As an Ottawa personal injury lawyer, I know that the days immediately following an accident, it is difficult to start making claims and filling out applications. That is why it is best to contact an Ottawa personal injury lawyer and let them do this for you.Your job is to recover . Their job is to help you. I can’t tell you how much stress is immediately relieved when I tell my clients in the initial meeting. “Don’t worry, we can take care of this for you.” I can immediately see it in my clients faces and bodies.
There are certain exceptions to these timelines; however they are rare. If you happen to fall into this category, it is best you consult with a personal injury lawyer and let them look into it for you.

Ontario Accident Benefits: Definition Minor Injury Guidelines, Ottawa lawyer David Hollingsworth
Ontario Minor Injury Guidelines. Insurance Claims. Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth…Have you recently been involved in an Ontario car accident and your insurance company has told you that your injury is classified as a “minor injury”? Unfortunately that means you will only receive $3500 in medical rehabilitation benefits available, regardless of whether or not you opted to pay for enhanced Ontario accident benefits. Insurance companies have also determined that a minor injury does not qualify for housekeeping benefits or attendant care benefits. This causes a lot of problems for many Ontario accident victims, who require these benefits. Not everyone is seriously injured in an accident , so the minor injury guidelines are acceptable to them. What’s really becoming a crisis situation in the vast majority of people who suffer serious injury in an accident and accept what their insurance company gives them in limited accident benefits, leaving them without enough support and benefits , which generally results in them not recovering. The Minor Injury Guidelines typically includes the following personal injuries resulting from an Ontario motor vehicle accident:
- Sprains
- Tears/ partial tears
- Strains
- Whiplash (unless there are neurological symptoms)
- Cuts, contusions, and abrasions
- Subluxations (unless it is a complete dislocation of a joint)
