Jewell Radimisis Jorge LLP: Strong Legal Advocacy For Your Case

Where the person who injured you caused the accident or you were a passenger in a motor vehicle that was involved in an accident, subject to statutory deductions, you will be entitled to receive compensation for:

The injuries to your body, which includes the pain and suffering for the past and the future, and the loss of enjoyment of life for the past and the future;
The loss of income for the past and the future; and/or
The loss of out-of-pocket expenses for the past and the future.
Subject to statutory deductions, your spouse and children will receive compensation for the loss of care guidance and companionship to them from you that was brought about by your injuries, and compensation for any care they gave you over and above what they would normally do.
If you were a driver and partially to blame for the injuries you received, then the amount you receive will be reduced by the percentage of fault attributable to your negligence. You are entitled to Statutory Accident Benefits which are payable no matter how the accident happened or whose fault it was. They are payable by the insurance company of the car you were in or alternatively, the insurer of any vehicle you own at your home. If you were injured as a pedestrian, the insurance company of the car that hit you may be liable to make these payments.

Your necessary medical and rehabilitation expenses will be paid firstly by any benefits you have from your employment and then by the automobile insurance company. If your injury is serious enough, then there is available up to $1 million for these expenses from the automobile insurer. However, that insurer, through Regulations and other means, tries to curtail its payment as much as possible and it is advisable to have legal assistance with these claims if you are to have any hope of recovering all the costs of them.

If you do not suffer a an injury that is considered catastrophic, you can be entitled to up to $65,000.00 for your medical and rehabilitation expenses and/or attendant care expenses. If you suffer an injury which is minor, you are entitled to $3,500.00 for your medical and rehabilitation expenses.

If you have purchased optional benefits, you can be entitled to up to $100,000.00 or up to $1,000,000.00 in medical and rehabilitation expenses, including attendant care.

Generally you are entitled to Statutory Accident Benefits which are payable no matter how the accident happened or whose fault it was. They are payable by the insurance company of the car you were in or alternatively, the insurer of any vehicle you own at your home or are deemed an insured under the policy. If you were injured as a pedestrian or a cyclist, the insurance company of the car that hit you may be liable to make these payments, if you are not considered an insured under another car insurance policy. If you are a passenger, if you are not considered an insured under another car insurance policy, you can claim benefits through the policy of the driver.
