Accident benefits are called “Statutory Accident Benefits” and fall under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (or SABS).

The Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule is an Ontario provincial regulation of accident benefits which are standardized and available through all the automobile insurance companies.

There are lots of personal injury law firms, so how do you decide who to help you when you’ve been hurt?

Like many other things in life, we look for help from friends, family and listen to what other people have to say. Today with the internet we can look at reviews of what happened to other people in similar situations.

As personal injury lawyers we’re proud of our years of service helping people with their personal injury claims and we invite people to look at our reviews and testimonials before deciding what injury lawyer to help.

★★★★★  My husband suffered a terrible injury when he was hit by a truck and wasn’t able to work. After the initial shock of the accident I searched for a personal injury lawyer to help us, and I even interviewed a few but wasn’t comfortable.

Finally I found Impact and spoke with Mr. Singh, I found him very sincere, honest and seemed truly interested in helping our family. We hired him to help us and were never disappointed.

Mr. Singh went above and beyond to help us, was always available and explained things to us in terms we understood. The case was settled and we were very happy with the results. Thanks again Julia T. Toronto.

If you are unable to perform your usual housekeeping or home maintenance duties, these corresponding benefits pay for someone to perform these jobs for you, like having some come and clean your house for example. The maximum benefit payment is $100 per week.

The standard coverage is only available to those who are catastrophically injured in an auto accident.

You can extend coverage to all injuries by purchasing the optional benefit. If you normally do the cleaning and maintenance of your home, you need to consider who will look after these things if you are injured in an auto accident.

This optional benefit can only be claimed if you were employed at the time of the accident, are not receiving a caregiver benefit, and have to pay for additional childcare expenses as a result of the accident.

Optional dependent care benefits cover up to $75 per week for the first dependent and $25 for each additional dependent.

Medical, Rehabilitation and Attendant Care Benefits;

• The standard maximum amount for medical and rehabilitation expenses, such as physiotherapy, chiropractic treatment, dental expenses, etc., is $50,000.
• If you are catastrophically injured, the standard maximum is $1,000,000.
• The standard maximum for attendant care is $36,000.
• If you are catastrophically injured, the standard maximum is $1,000,000.

You can buy optional benefits which will cover up to $100,000 or $1,100,000 in medical and rehabilitation expenses and $72,000 or $1,072,000 in attendant care expenses, and up to $3,000,000 in combined medical, rehabilitation and attendant care expenses for catastrophic injuries.

Many health care expenses are not covered by OHIP, or only partially covered, including physiotherapy and chiropractic treatment, mobility devices (crutches, wheelchairs), modifications to your home and car that you may require, and other specialized goods and services.

Minor injuries may require several thousand dollars in treatment.

The most serious injuries (brain injuries, amputations) are permanent and may require hundreds of thousands of dollars in specialized goods and services on an ongoing basis.

You may need the services of an attendant 24 hours a day. Review any extended health care plan you and your spouse have access to through work to help you decide how much coverage you require.

If you are providing care full-time to Dependants and can no longer provide that care as the result of an automobile accident, you may be eligible for caregiver benefits if you need to hire someone to care for your dependents.

The maximum amount for caregiver benefits is $250 per week for one dependent, plus $50 per week for each additional dependant.

The standard coverage is only available to those who are catastrophically injured in an auto accident. You can extend coverage to all injuries by purchasing the optional benefit. If you have children you need to consider who will look after them if you are injured in an auto accident.
