Imagine the pain and suffering from knowing you now have to deal with a disability and financial ruin from an accident that was not your fault. Worse still, the aggravation from the realization that the person whose reckless actions caused the accident has not been fully punished.

If you feel that the SABS and your own auto insurance policy’s accident benefits have not fully compensated you for the economic losses, expenses, and other damages caused by the accident, you have the right to sue the at-fault party in court.

Unfortunately, the law in Ontario makes it especially difficult to get compensated for non-pecuniary damages. It places a heavy responsibility on you, the claimant to prove the accident caused you such life-altering harm that you must be awarded further damages. They call it the ‘threshold test’.

Between the threshold test and the other pesky matter of deductibles, there are so many legal intricacies that make it tough to prevail in a lawsuit against an at-fault party. If you are going to sue, it is vital that you have a highly experienced and skilled motor vehicle accident attorney in your corner.

Why should you have to bear the permanent cost of reduced employment opportunities, physical pain, and psychological stress of a vehicle accident someone else caused?
