Benefits for Injured Clients

• While some may assume that their options are limited regarding access to insurance benefits because they themselves were not driving a vehicle, compensation may be available from several sources which include:

o   A lawsuit against the at-fault driver or negligent parties

o   Private Insurance Benefits from the Injured person’s policy

o   Accident Benefits from the injured victims’ auto insurance policy if they own a vehicle

o   Accident Benefits from the driver’s auto insurance policy involved in the collision; and

o   Accident Benefits from the Motor Vehicle Claims Fund (MVAC)

• Victim cyclists who have sustained injuries as a result of a motor vehicle may take months or even years to heal. The effects of such trauma are debilitating, and individuals alike may never be the same. Compensation is one means by which victims can move ahead with their rehabilitative plan and realize that they have the financial resources necessary to secure recovery.

 Injured Minors and Understanding their Unique Needs

• Given that children are in the vital stages of physical and emotional development, the full impact of a child’s injuries may not immediately manifest after a collision, and therefore a treatment plan may require adjustments as the child ages. As a result, minors who are injured while riding bikes have specific legal and medical needs. From a legal perspective, litigation brought on behalf of a child in Ontario must be supervised by a litigation guardian, may require a guardianship application for management of the child’s care and property, and the settlement requires approval by the court. The complexities involved require competent and experienced legal representation to secure the compensation your child needs for their recovery and long-term well-being.
