You Have Options And Deadlines
A serious injury can change everything in a moment. Between medical appointments, time away from work, and calls from insurance adjusters, understanding your rights can feel overwhelming. It does not have to be. Learning where you stand is the first step toward moving forward.
When an injury is caused by someone else's negligence, Ontario law gives you the right to seek compensation for what you have lost. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to recover benefits through your own insurance policy and, in more serious cases, through a claim against the person responsible. Knowing which path applies to your situation, and acting within the deadlines the law sets, is where experienced legal guidance makes a real difference. The team of lawyers at Diamond and Diamond have experience guiding injured people in Windsor and Tecumseh through both.

Roads and risks we know well
Windsor and Tecumseh carry some of Ontario's busiest traffic. Collisions happen every day on the E.C. Row Expressway, along Highway 401, on Tecumseh Road and Dougall Avenue, and on the Huron Church Road corridor that feeds heavy commercial-truck traffic to the border crossings. As Canada's busiest commercial gateway to the United States, our region sees a high volume of transport trucks, and the serious injuries that can follow a crash involving one.

How Compensation Works After an Injury
After a serious injury in Ontario, two things can happen at once. Understanding how they fit together is central to any claim.
Accident benefits: help that does not depend on fault
Every standard Ontario auto policy includes statutory accident benefits. Because they are “no-fault,” you can access them regardless of who caused the collision. These benefits are designed to help with immediate needs such as medical and rehabilitation treatment, attendant care, and a portion of lost income while you recover.
As of July 1, 2026, medical, rehabilitation and attendant care benefits remain a mandatory part of the standard Ontario auto policy, while several other benefits become optional coverage you can choose to add. Because the coverage on your policy affects what is available to you, it is worth reviewing your options and understanding what you are entitled to claim.
Suing an at-fault party: your tort claim
When another person's negligence caused your injuries, you may have a separate claim against them for losses that accident benefits do not fully cover, including pain and suffering, past and future loss of income, and the long-term cost of care. This part of the process addresses the human cost of a serious injury, not just the immediate bills.
Ontario sets a legal “threshold” for these claims. To recover for pain and suffering after a motor vehicle collision, your injury must generally amount to a permanent, serious impairment of an important physical, mental or psychological function, or permanent serious disfigurement. Whether an injury meets that definition is often disputed, which is one reason experienced legal guidance matters.
The deductible and the deadline: two numbers that matter
Ontario law applies a statutory deductible to pain-and-suffering awards in many motor vehicle claims. The deductible is adjusted each year for inflation, and it can significantly reduce a lower-value award, which is why a proper assessment of the full value of your claim is so important.
There are also firm deadlines. Miss them, and an otherwise strong claim can be lost. Accident-benefit claims require prompt notice to your insurer, and most injury lawsuits in Ontario must be started within a limited window. Because these clocks start running immediately, it is wise to get advice soon after an injury rather than waiting.
Results for Injured People
Every claim is different, and past results do not guarantee a future outcome. These examples reflect recoveries in serious injury matters.
Recovered for an elderly woman struck while exiting her vehicle.
Recovered for a young passenger who suffered a fractured neck in a collision.
Recovered following a head-on collision that caused serious leg fractures.
Results depend on the specific facts, evidence, and circumstances of each case. Prior results are not a guarantee of a similar outcome.
“Very good service. The staff responded in a timely manner and overall I was happy with how I was treated.”A.R., Windsor
Steps to Protect Your Health & Your Claim
The actions you take in the hours and days after an injury can protect both your recovery and your rights.
Get medical attention
See a doctor even if you feel only shaken. Some injuries, including concussions, take time to appear, and a prompt medical record connects your injury to what happened.
Document what happened
If it is safe, photograph the scene, the vehicles or the hazard, and any visible injuries. Note the date, time and location, and get the names of any witnesses.
Notify your insurer
Report the incident and notify your own insurer promptly so your accident benefits are not delayed by a missed deadline.
Keep every record
Hold on to medical reports, receipts, mileage to appointments and records of time missed from work. These help document what the injury has cost you.
Be cautious with early offers
Once a settlement is accepted it is usually final. It is reasonable to understand the full extent of your injuries before you sign anything.

An early, honest assessment helps you understand your options and the deadlines that apply. Consultations with Diamond and Diamond are free.
