Legal Support for Quebec Motor Vehicle Accidents

We will first review your situation to provide advice on whether you should elect to make a claim under the Quebec no-fault system or the Ontario accident benefits system. 

There are several differences between the two systems and you need guidance from an experienced legal team on cross-border claims to help you make the right decision and ensure you are maximizing the available benefits and compensation. 

For instance, Ontario’s income replacement benefit provides a maximum of $400 per week. In Quebec, the income replacement indemnity is 90% of the person’s net annual income with the maximum amount indexed yearly.

For treatment, Quebec does not have categories of benefits such as minor injury guidelines, non-catastrophic or catastrophic, but rather evaluates each treatment plan individually. 

In Ontario, residents can sue an at-fault driver for compensation including pain and suffering and income loss. However, in Quebec, one is prohibited from suing the at-fault driver but there is an available for non-pecuniary award in the Quebec system if you have a permanent injury.  

There are other differences between the two systems and we will explain all of them to you so you get the best benefits and compensation available.
