What to do if you’ve been hurt in a car accident:

  1. Ensure all people involved in the accident are safe and stable.
  2. Call for help from first responders if any injuries require immediate attention. Always err on the side of caution if you are unsure; some injuries, such as brain trauma, internal bleeding, or other traumatic effects may not be obvious at first.
  3. Stay at the scene of the accident (if safe to do so, and if conditions permit) until it is appropriate to leave.
  4. Exchange contact and insurance information with all involved persons. Ask for contact information for any witnesses.
  5. If you are able to, take photos or video of your injuries and the accident scene.
  6. Make note of anything that could have contributed to the accident such as poor weather or visibility.
  7. Be discreet and limit what you say to other people involved in the accident and even your family and especially social media. You may unwittingly say something that could hurt your ability to obtain compensation.
  8. Go to the hospital for serious injuries and see your doctor as soon as possible for injury assessments and follow-ups.
  9. Contact a personal injury lawyer before speaking to any insurance provider (particularly one representing an at-fault party). However, report the accident to your own automobile insurer as soon as possible following the accident (or have someone do that for you if your condition prevents you from doing so).

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I seek medical attention after a car accident even if I am not injured?

Yes, it's advisable to seek medical attention after a car accident, even if you do not feel injured right away. Certain injuries, such as whiplash, internal trauma, or concussions, may not exhibit symptoms immediately and could surface hours or even days later. Ignoring these signs can lead to complications or prolonged recovery.

Are there time limits to apply for accident benefits?

A motor vehicle accident involving bodily harm must be reported to police and insurers within seven days (or as soon a reasonably possibly thereafter if circumstances won't permit a report within seven days) for certain benefits. The Application for Accident Benefits (OCF-1) form you receive from an insurer must be completed within 30 days.

If you need guidance navigating these strict deadlines, call our car accident lawyers today for a free consultation to discuss your case and protect your rights.

How do I obtain accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident?

After contacting your insurer or the insurer of another driver involved in the accident, you will be sent an Application for Accident Benefits (OCF-1) form.

Our car accident lawyers understand the local laws, the nuances of insurance claims, and the tactics used by insurance companies to minimize payouts.  Contact one of our car accident injury lawyers today to take the first step toward obtaining the benefits and compensation you deserve for your injuries, medical expenses, and lost wages.

 

What will legal action cost? What will I have to pay?

Generally, there are no costs to our clients throughout the course of litigation. Our firm carries the cost of litigation and any disbursements. When your matter is resolved either through settlement or at trial, our firm will take a portion of the settlement for our fees and disbursements. Our lawyers will explain the retainer and fee arrangements clearly at the initial consultation. We believe that you should not need to be independently wealthy to access justice for harm caused to you.

What are some common types of car accidents?

Most car accidents involve two vehicles, with common types including rear-end collisions, side-impact (T-bone) accidents, and head-on collisions, which often cause severe injuries. Other frequent accidents involve hitting stationary objects, cyclists, or pedestrians. Each type of accident presents unique risks and potential for injury.

What happens if I get hit by someone who is uninsured?

If you're injured by an uninsured or unknown party, contact a car accident lawyer promptly. You may still be eligible to file a tort claim or access accident benefits through Ontario's Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund, ensuring you receive compensation for your injuries and related expenses.
