How do you get accident benefits and when do you hire a lawyer after a collision?

In this segment of a 3-part interview between personal injury lawyer Brenda Hollingsworth and CTV Morning Live, Brenda explains how you apply for statutory accident benefits after an accident.  If you are involved in an accident in Ontario, you are entitled to accident benefits, even if you do not have your own car insurance policy.

Brenda also describes when you should consider hiring a lawyer:

  • If you have injuries that are not getting better.
  • If you have been off work for more than 2 months due to your injuries.
  • If you have a fracture.
  • If you are retired but can no longer do your regular activities of daily living.
