How much can someone sue for a car accident in Ontario?

The amount you can sue for in a car accident depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the impact on your daily life, and any financial losses you've incurred. In Ontario, injured individuals are entitled to claim Statutory Accident Benefits, regardless of fault. These benefits can help cover medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and lost income. However, if your insurer denies you the benefits you're entitled to, you have the right to sue to obtain them.

In addition to Statutory Accident Benefits, you may also pursue a lawsuit if your injuries were caused by someone else's negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions. Compensation in such cases can include damages for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life, as well as economic losses like lost income and healthcare expenses. Family members may also be eligible to claim damages under the Family Law Act, and additional compensation may be sought for housekeeping and home maintenance expenses or other quantifiable losses.

It's important to consult with an experienced car accident lawyer to understand the full scope of compensation you may be entitled to. Every case is unique, and the amount you can sue for will depend on the specific circumstances of your accident and injuries.
