Your Rights and Options
In Ontario, if you are injured in a motor vehicle accident, including those involving e-scooters, you may be entitled to compensation under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS). These benefits can cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, and income replacement, depending on the severity of your injuries. It’s essential to report the accident to your insurance provider promptly to initiate your claim.
The Limitations Act 2002 establishes a two-year deadline to file a lawsuit if you seek additional damages beyond what insurance offers. Consulting with experienced legal professionals can help navigate the complexities of filing a claim and ensure you receive the compensation you’re entitled to.
