Accident Benefits Claims
The application process can be difficult, at Linett & Timmis we can help you simplify the process and obtain the best possible benefits.
Since Ontario’s system of car insurance has a “no-fault” policy, any injured person may receive financial compensation, regardless of who is to blame for an accident. This form of compensation, known as accident benefits, can cover expenses for medicine, rehabilitation, attendant care and housekeeping, and can serve as income replacement.
The amount of money you are entitled to claim depends on your individual circumstances, and is governed by the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS).
Statutory Accident Benefits can provide compensation to a driver, passenger or pedestrian who has suffered injury in a car accident.
Please note: You must remember to report your injuries and claim accident benefits through your insurance company directly following the incident. The insurance process can be very complicated and there are specific time limits that must be met in order to avoid delay or denial of your benefits.
The legal team at Linett & Timmis has been representing accident victims for many years, working to maximize the benefits that their clients receive.
