With car accidents happening every day in Ontario, it’s important to know what to do if you are ever involved in one yourself. Regardless of how severe a car accident it is, it’s in your best interest to act quickly when calling a lawyer. Taking the time to consider all damages, including vehicle repairs, medical bills, or even psychological trauma, might not cross your mind after being injured in a car accident, but a lawyer can help. Whether you live in Ontario, or are visiting from Quebec, the right lawyer analyzes your situation, and advises you accordingly on what your next move should be.

After being injured in a car accident, reporting your accident to the police and insurance company, and seeking any necessary medical attention it’s time to file a claim. At MG Law we walk you through the entire process and work to get you the settlement you deserve following an auto injury. There are two common types of claims you could file: a tort claim or an accident benefit claim. Both are designed to help you, but in very different ways.
While a tort claim addresses pain and suffering, an accident benefit claim helps if you are unable to perform your job the same way you did prior to being injured in a car accident. Take a look below for a simplified breakdown of what you can expect from each option.
