Accident Benefits
What are accident benefits?
Accident benefits through your insurer can include:
• replacing a percentage of an injured person’s income
• medical and rehabilitation expenses
• attendant care expenses
• funeral expenses
• death benefits
• lost educational expenses
• housekeeping or house maintenance expenses
It is important to realize that an insurer may not explain all the benefits you're entitled to. This is why getting the right legal advice is critical. A personal injury lawyer considers many different things while assessing a case, starting with determining whether a person is catastrophically injured, as defined by the legislation. Being found catastrophically injured means that a person is eligible for far greater accident benefits than a person designated as non-catastrophic.
