Can I make a claim if a family member was killed in a motorcycle accident?

Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Discusses Rights of Family Members of Victims of Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in Ontario

If you have recently lost a loved one due to a fatal motorcycle accident in Ontario, you have our deepest sympathies and our condolences.  Although it is difficult to consider insurance claims following a tragic event, in many instances it is important for your future.  The sudden loss of a loved one can result in financial hardship and longer term financial losses.  This is particularly true where a spouse or parent has been tragically killed in a motorcycle accident.  

In Ontario, when someone is killed in a motorcycle accident as a result of the negligence of another person or company, the surviving family members may be able to make a wrongful death claim.  Wrongful death claims arising out of fatal motorcycle accidents may include compensation for the loss of guidance, care, companionship, support and services of their loved one.  In addition, your lawyer will need to establish that the other involved vehicle was in some way at fault for the accident. 

As difficult as it may be, it is important not to delay in obtaining advice from a Ontario motorcycle accident lawyer. There are deadlines that must be met in Ontario, and information to be collected and preserved in order to advance the claim.  If you have questions about your rights following a fatal motorcycle accident, call us for a FREE CONSULTATION.  There is no obligation and the consultation is strictly confidential.
