Income Replacement is calculated at 70% of your gross income, up to $400 per week, unless additional coverage is opted for.
Non-Earner Benefits
Eligibility for Non-Earner Benefits includes:
-
A complete inability to lead a normal life post-accident, without qualifying for income replacement, or

Full-time enrollment in education at the accident time, or education completion less than a year before the accident without subsequent employment reflecting your education and training.

Caregiver Benefits
Housekeeping and Home Maintenance Benefit
Available only for catastrophic injuries or with optional benefits, this supports individuals unable to perform housekeeping and home maintenance tasks as before the accident. Eligible individuals can receive up to $100 per week for life.
Attendant Care Benefits
If your injuries prevent you from personal care tasks, you may be eligible for Attendant Care Benefits. These benefits, requiring proof of incurred expense and economic loss by caregivers, have been combined with Medical and Rehabilitation Benefits for a total of $65,000 for non-catastrophic injuries and $1,000,000 for catastrophic injuries.
Medical and Rehabilitation Benefits
Covering a wide range of services, these benefits aim for your optimal recovery, with combined totals similar to Attendant Care Benefits, tailored to injury severity and falling under Minor Injury Guidelines when applicable.
Death and Funeral benefit
Families can receive death benefits ($25,000 to the spouse, $10,000 to each dependent) and up to $6,000 for funeral expenses, providing crucial financial support during challenging times.
Tort Claims
For compensation beyond standard benefits, a tort claim against the responsible party can be pursued for losses including pain and suffering, economic loss, and more.
Permanent serious impairments and disfigurement may open avenues for compensation, with economic losses and out-of-pocket expenses also recoverable. We strive to ensure your rights and recovery are prioritized following a motor vehicle accident in Ontario.
