Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as a catastrophic injury in Ontario?

 In Ontario, a catastrophic injury is defined as a severe, life-altering injury that significantly affects your ability to function and live independently. This can include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, severe burns, loss of vision, and other injuries with permanent or long-term effects.

In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim in Ontario. However, there are exceptions, especially when dealing with insurers or if the injury involves a minor, so it’s important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Compensation for catastrophic injuries may include coverage for medical and rehabilitation costs, lost income (past and future), home care and support services, assistive devices, and pain and suffering. In some cases, you may also be entitled to damages for long-term care needs and loss of quality of life.
