According to the U.S. Travel Association, around 90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the Canada-U.S. border. As reported by the organization, 21.5 million Canadians spent at least one night in the USA in 2018. This high figure doesn’t include the many people who visited on a day trip.
In 2023, Canadians made up around 31% of all tourists to the United States. Further, Statistics Canada notes that some 39 million Canadians took trips to the United States in 2024. Additionally, about 2.1 million visits from Canada to the U.S. in December 2024 were by car, with 68.3% of these road trips conducted in a day. For context, Ontario alone has 14 border road crossings, making the U.S. increasingly accessible.
When it comes to accidents involving a motor vehicle, insurance issues require expertise. For example, a cross-border injury lawyer in Toronto may need to navigate Statutory Accident Benefits (SABS) in Ontario with potentially lower liability limits from an out-of-province insurer. Additionally, lawyers can help you identify if you qualify for insurance payouts under optional plans, like OPCF 44R (Family Protection Coverage), particularly if the at-fault party is underinsured.
Determining lawsuit jurisdiction can also be complex; the accident location often dictates which country’s laws apply. Our cross-border injury lawyers know relevant out-of-province laws, including those in various U.S. states. Laws related to limitation periods, types of damages recoverable, contributory negligence, and liability burdens are all intricacies we understand inside and out.
