The Making Ontario Roads Safer Act 2015 proposed a new and more stringent set of laws that intend to make Ontario's roads among the safest in North America. This new legislation aims to reduce collisions, injuries and fatalities in the province's roads. The newly updated laws under the Transportation Statute Laws are hoped to effect systemic changes in motorist behaviors regarding cyclists, pedestrians and other road-sharers. Concurrently, the new amendments will also have their impact on motor vehicle accident lawyers and legislation of cases related to accidents.

Statutory deductibles are those deductions made according to certain legislation  mandated by federal and provincial governments. Some examples include income tax, employment insurance premiums, Canada Pension Plan contributions etc. These amounts have to be submitted to the proper authorities. In the case of insurance settlements , when the plaintiff is injured in a motor-vehicle accident , the compensation amount received by him/her for non-pecuniary damages such as pain and suffering are subject to certain statutory deductibles. Such deductibles significantly affect the final bottom-line of the award in personal injury claims. These statutory deductibles are intended to ensure that only very serious cases come to trial, since there is immense pressure on the legal system. Along with the statutory deductible, a threshold limit was placed on “permanent and serious” injuries that had to be fulfilled in order to qualify for compensation. Statutory Deductibles In Ontari...

This observation was made by FAIR (For Accident Insurance Reform) the organization that supports accident victims through advocacy and education. Such organizations help to advocate the cause of insurance industry reforms. Another important area is to ensure that equitable funding is allocated to all the parties involved – claimants, insurers, health-care providers and the legal representatives. A landmark case in this issue was Macdonald vs Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, 2006. During the course of testimony, it was revealed that a doctor's medical report was rewritten by a company that had retained the doctor to conduct the defense's medical evaluation. The case is now used as a yardstick for arguments against Ontario's accident benefits and auto insurance systems. What Are Independent Medical Evaluations? When an injur...
