Accident Benefits Disputes

Motor vehicle accidents are an unfortunate reality—and when they happen, the impact can be profoundly life-changing. At Gowland, Boriss Injury Lawyers, we believe your primary focus should be on healing, and our role is to support you throughout your recovery.

If you’ve been injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to benefits through your own auto insurance under Ontario’s Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS).

These benefits may include:

  • Medical and Rehabilitation Benefits – Coverage for treatments such as physiotherapy, chiropractic care, massage therapy, psychotherapy, and prescribed medications.

  • Income Replacement Benefits – If you were employed at the time of the accident and are unable to work, you may qualify for income replacement.

  • Non-Earner Benefit – If you were not working or were a student when the accident occurred, you may be eligible for this benefit.

  • Attendant Care Benefit – If you need help with daily living activities, you may qualify for support through an Attendant Care Benefit.

What to Do After a Car Accident

Notify Your Insurance Company: Contact your automobile insurer as soon as possible. The phone number can be found on your insurance certificate. After notification, the insurer will send you an Accident Benefits package, which includes an Application for Accident Benefits. Complete and return this application within 30 days. If needed, we can assist you with this process.

Consult Your Doctor or Specialist: See your family doctor or treating specialist promptly. Your healthcare provider will recommend treatments and complete necessary documentation, including the Disability Certificate, critical for your Accident Benefits application. Follow their advice and attend all follow-ups.

If your injuries are significant, a Case Manager may be assigned to coordinate your care. We can help connect you with qualified professionals to support your rehabilitation.

At Gowland, Boriss Injury Lawyers, we are committed to guiding you through the claims process and ensuring you receive the benefits you deserve—supporting you every step of the way.
