It is not easy to deal with large insurance companies. Often, you walk away with more questions than answers. Complex policies can often leave insured persons wondering about the extent of their coverage and unable to know what they qualify for.  Insurance is a necessary (even if undesirable) aspect of life. With it, you can protect yourself and your family if something happens to you or a loved one. Nevertheless, insurance companies can withhold payouts even to contributors who never miss a payment and pay punctually. Such an experience can be shocking when you need support the most.  Below are the [...]

Can I file a lawsuit if I become injured in the workplace?

For most jobs, an employee does not have the right to file a lawsuit if they become injured in the workplace. Instead, they receive benefits through the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB). However, these benefits can be insufficient for paying expenses. Background Under the law, employers must pay WSIB premiums into a fund. If any of their employees become injured in the workplace, the employee will be able to draw from that fund. However, in most cases, the compensation payouts in court exceed those payouts from the fund, and what WSIB pays out for pain and suffering is very limited. [...]

Fault in a Multi-Vehicle Accident

Many multi-vehicle accidents end in tragedy in the Ottawa area every year. The high number of transport trucks on Ontario highways is a factor, as the drivers and passengers of smaller vehicles in these collisions suffer severe injuries. In Ontario, Regulation 668 (Fault Determination Rules or FDR) of the Insurance Act determines who is at fault in a multi-vehicle collision. Fault determination rules apply in personal injury lawsuits stemming from a multi-vehicle crash. Furthermore, insurance companies use the fault determination rules to determine whether it is necessary to increase your insurance rates. To avoid rear-end, multi-vehicle collisions, drivers must always stay [...]

Whiplash and Injury Claims

A whiplash injury (or, simply, whiplash) occurs when a person's head snaps violently back and forth, and it usually occurs in rear-end collisions and accidents in which the neck can quickly accelerate and then quickly decelerate, such as physical assault, cycling accidents, falling backwards and contact sports. The whiplash motion severely strains the soft tissues in the neck, including nerves, ligaments and muscles, which can thereby become damaged, torn or stretched due to the vigorous back-and-forth motion. A person with a whiplash injury may be unaware of major whiplash symptoms days or weeks after the accident. Sometimes, the symptoms of whiplash [...]
