Ontario law for car accidents is governed, primarily, by three parts of the law:
In Ontario, the laws relating to the safe operation of motor vehicles on our roads are contained in the Highway Traffic Act. This Act contains the rules that Ontario drivers have to follow when operating a motor vehicle. It includes such laws as right-of-ways, speeding, traffic signals, and the like. In many car accident cases, the police will often issue one or more drivers a ticket for violating the Highway Traffic Act. When a car accident occurs, the rules and regulations in the Highway Traffic Act can be a useful framework for assigning blame and responsibility for causing the accident. The financial liability and civil consequences on the at-fault driver is based on tort law. Tort law assigns blame for the negligence or wrongful conduct of others and provides an avenue for the injured party to recover their financial losses. Ontario also has a no-fault auto insurance system for automobile and motorcycle accidents, but you can still make a claim against the at fault driver for compensation.

How Long Do You Have to File a Lawsuit?There are time limits to filing a car accident claim. Ontario law imposes a 2 year time limit to file a civil lawsuit to recover money for car accident injuries. (Limitations Act, 2002). Although 2 years sounds like a considerable amount of time, it is not. There are steps that must be taken to improve your chance of recovering well before the limitation date expires.
Automobile Accidents and Defective ProductsAlthough driver error is the most common cause of car accidents, sometimes automobile accidents are also caused by defective products such as tires (eg. tread separation), air bags, seat belts or seat backs; negligently maintained street lights; negligently serving alcohol to persons who are visibly intoxicated or to minors; negligently performed automotive repairs or negligent automobile maintenance.
