What does insurance in Ontario cover for auto accidents?

In case you are injured in an auto accident in Ontario, you should know what benefits you can claim from your insurance company. Ontario’s auto insurance policy is very specific about the benefits that should be provided by insurance companies to persons involved in a motor vehicle accident if they have suffered injuries as a result of the accident.

Why you need a personal injury lawyer

A personal injury lawyer is a lawyer who legally represents a person who has been or claims to have been physically or psychologically injured as result of wrongdoing or negligence by another person, a group of people, a company, a government agency or any other entity. He or she is knowledgeable and experienced in the branch of law known as tort law, which deals with civil wrongs and damages caused to a person’s property, reputation or rights. This law covers work-related injuries, motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall accidents, medical mistakes and injuries caused due to defective products. More often than not, where appropriate, a personal injury lawyer works towards an out of court settlement rather than going for a trial. This minimizes the expenses, mental distress and disruptions to daily life and work that the latter may cause. But if push comes to shove, he or she will go to trial. It is not mandatory to hire a personal injury lawyer, but hiring one can help ensure that you will receive compensation in a just and fair manner.
