The law considers certain types of injuries to be catastrophic. Among these are paraplegia, quadriplegia, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and permanent loss of a limb. Victims of these kinds of injuries and their family members are entitled to significantly higher benefits — up to $1 million for medical care and rehabilitation services and up to $1 million for attendant care benefits.
If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury, Krylov Lam & Company can represent you, seeking all of the benefits you are entitled to. Our Toronto catastrophic injury lawyers represent victims injured in car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents and pedestrian accidents throughout Ontario.
At Krylov Lam & Company, we have extensive experience in cases involving paraplegia/quadriplegia, spinal cord injury, amputation, loss of vision, traumatic brain injury, acquired brain injury and other injuries deemed to be catastrophic.
At some point (at least one year from the date of the accident), your insurance company may make a lump-sum settlement offer to you. The offer you receive may or may not be adequate. In a free consultation, our lawyers can review the settlement offer and advise you about accepting it. If it is inadequate, we can represent you in seeking a greater settlement.
A catastrophic injury, particularly to the head or spinal cord, places heavy burdens on family members, who often must provide care for accident victims living at home. Recognizing this, insurance law provides for the payment of attendant care benefits. If your loved one has sustained a catastrophic injury, he or she may be entitled up to $6,000 per month in attendant care benefits.
Your insurance company may deny your claim or stop paying benefits. Our lawyers will work diligently to ensure that you receive the full benefits you deserve.
