Professional Lawyers in Toronto & GTA
Accident benefits, also known as Statutory Accident Benefits (SABS), provide financial support to motor vehicle accident victims in Ontario. As part of every auto insurance policy, these no-fault benefits ensure that injured individuals receive compensation, regardless of who caused the accident. These benefits can help cover lost income, medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and other financial losses resulting from the accident. The amount you receive depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, employment status, and policy coverage. To maximize your claim and ensure you receive the full benefits you’re entitled to, consulting an experienced accident benefits lawyer is highly recommended.
Who is Eligible for SABS?
Anyone who suffers an injury due to the use or operation of a motor vehicle may be eligible for Statutory Accident Benefits (SABS). This includes the insured person, their spouse, children, and other dependents covered under the applicable insurance policy.
However, you may not qualify for certain benefits, such as income replacement, non-earner benefits, lost educational expenses, visitor expenses, housekeeping, and home maintenance expenses, if:
- You were driving without a valid driver’s license.
- You did not have auto liability insurance.
- You were driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- You committed a criminal offense while operating the vehicle.
Ensuring compliance with these requirements is crucial to receiving the full benefits you may be entitled to.
