Optional Insurance Coverage
Statutory Accident Benefits Available in Ontario
If you cannot work because of the injuries caused by a motor vehicle accident, this benefit will compensate you in a limited way for the loss of your income. The compensation under the income replacement benefit is partial, as you can only receive the lesser of a maximum of 80 % of your net income or $400.00 weekly.
Non-Earner Benefits
If you suffer a complete inability to carry on your normal activities because of the injuries caused by a motor vehicle collision this benefit will compensate you in a limited way. The benefit is not payable during the first 6 months of entitlement. The benefit amount is only $185.00 weekly.
Caregiver Benefits
If you cannot continue as a primary caregiver, this caregiver benefit will reimburse you for expenses incurred in arranging for replacement services. It also is limited in amount.
Medical and Rehabilitation Benefits
This benefit will pay for reasonable and necessary medical and rehabilitation expenses that are not covered by a government health plan or a private health plan that the injured insured may have through work or a family member. There are various limits and controls on access to this benefit. Access to prompt and effective medical and rehabilitation treatment is an important factor in recovery from accident injury.
If you are unable to carry out certain personal care activities (such as bathing, toileting, dressing or feeding yourself) as a result of severe or catastrophic injuries sustained in a motor vehicle collision this attendant care benefit will pay reasonable and necessary expenses for an aide, attendant or long-term care facility. The calculation of the benefit is made using rates that are in some cases well below market value.
Other Expenses Benefits
This benefit may pay for expenses such as lost educational expenses, the cost of certain people visiting you during treatment and recovery, and reasonable costs related to housekeeping or home maintenance required due to injuries sustained in an accident. You may also be covered for repairing or replacing certain items of your clothing that were lost or damaged in the collision.
Death and Funeral Benefits
There are lump-sum payments available to the surviving family members of a person killed in a car accident and to help pay for funeral expenses.
