TTC Accident

If you have been injured in a TTC accident, you may elegible for accident benefits.

These benefits can include:

• Income Replacement — if you were employed at the time of your accident, and unable to continue work due to your injury
• Medical Expenses — any medical expenses you incur relating to your injury that are not covered by your provincial health care plan or other health insurance, prescribed by a treating physician
• Rehabilitation — any rehabilitation expenses you incur relating to your injury from a car accident
• Attendant Care — if you require any personal assistance following the injuries you sustained in the MVA
• 'Other' Expenses — this can include any assistance devices you need to buy as a result of your injury, prescribed by a general practitioner or treating physician; travel costs for medical appointments; housekeeping expenses; and lost tuition fees.

Even if you were unemployed at the time of the accident, or the primary caregiver for a member of your household, you may still be eligible for certain monetary benefits.

No-Fault Law

Toronto's public transportation system, the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), operates under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS), which is a 'no-fault' insurance system. This meas that if you were injured while in a TTC vehicle accident, regardless of who is at fault, you are entitled to accident benefits under SABS. Ontario law with respect to motor vehicle accidents also allows a victim to receive both accident benefits, and to sue for damages (for economic loss, as well as pain and suffering) under certain conditions.

This is true for drivers, passengers and pedestrians who have been injured in a TTC vehicle accident.

Determining just which benefits you are entitled to and how much injury compensation you deserve can be a complicated process. We can offer you a free legal consultation to evaluate your case and help you obtain the medical care and compensation you deserve for your TTC injury. Contact us without obligation to find out how to start your TTC accident claim in Toronto and all of Ontario.

Even if you weren't driving your car at the time of the accident, if you have car insurance you may be required to file your claim with your own insurance company, rather than the TTC. If there was another driver involved in the accident, then you might be required to file your claim with their insurance company. Determining which insurance company is liable in a TTC accident is not always straight-forward.

Non-vehicular accidents

If you were injured on TTC property, but the accident did not involve a TTC vehicle, you may still be entitled to sue for damages if the accident was a result of negligence. Depending on your injuries and the circumstances of your case, you can be compensated for lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering.

Understanding which laws apply to your situation can be very complicated in these cases - sometimes the law might determine that an accident is actually a motor vehicle accident, even if a vehicle doesn't seem to be a direct cause of the injury.
