This means that even if the accident wasn’t your fault, you can still get financial support to help you recover from your injuries. But did you know that you might qualify for these benefits even if your injury didn’t involve a collision with another vehicle?

The Importance of Minding the Details When Making a Claim

Ethan Zavarella on October 10, 2024

In a recent case, Heartland Farm Mutual Inc. refused to pay over $1 million in optional insurance coverage to two people they insured after a serious car accident. Heartland denied the coverage because of a minor administrative error, which they should have known could occur given the circumstances, and later used to their advantage. Despite this, the License Appeal Tribunal (an Ontario tribunal that resolves disputes related to car insurance claims, license issues, and other regulated matters outside of the traditional court system), said it could not step in to provide an equitable remedy, allowing Heartland to benefit from its unfair handling of the claim.

Whiplash: Medical and Legal Considerations

Cesar Carranza on August 15, 2024

Whiplash Associated Disorder (WAD) is the full medical name for Whiplash – neck injuries from (even low-speed) car accidents. Usually, whiplash happens when another driver rear-ends the accident victim, although it can be caused by any impact, or even from sudden braking to avoid an accident. The victim’s head snaps violently back and forward, damaging their neck. Whiplash is classified as a soft-tissue injury (STI) to the muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Because there are no broken bones, whiplash injuries can be challenging to identify. This makes them harder to prove in a lawsuit or when the victim needs no-fault accident benefits from their own auto insurance company.
