There are reports of a serious Toronto car accident that occurred on October 24, 2021 in the area of Bartor Road and Clayson Road in Toronto.  This Toronto car accident occurred at approximately 8:19 pm, and resulted in serious injuries.  

According to early reports, a 32 year old man was driving a Nissan Altima southbound at a high rate of speed, and rear-ended a Nisan Maxima.  The Nissan Maxima was stopped in the southbound lane when it was hit from behind.  Unfortunately, the driver of the Maxima, a 49 year old man was seriously injured in this crash, and was transported to hospital with life threatening injuries.  The driver that caused this accident then fled the scene on foot, before being found and arrested by officers.  The driver, Anthony Brown, has been charged.  

We wish the man injured in this Toronto car accident a speedy and complete recovery from his injuries.  This man was doing nothing wrong, and was the unfortunate victim of a dangerous driver.  

When people are needlessly injured in Toronto car accidents, the impact can be life changing for them and their families.  Serious injuries from car accidents can result in lost income, as well as medical and rehabilitation expenses.  This is in addition to all of the pain and suffering and emotional losses experienced by the victim and their family.  

Although there may be prosecution for the offense, the victim and their family may also need to consider a civil remedy.  This is a separate claim that does not assign any criminal responsibility on the at-fault party, but instead seeks compensation for the losses and damages suffered.  A civil claim for a car accident, would allow the victims to recover money to help restore some of the losses and cover future losses.  Most often, these claims are covered by insurance.  In Ontario car accident injury cases, the injured party may have the right to access insurance coverage from their own automobile insurance police and that of the at-fault party.  These claims are known as accident benefits and tort claims.

Liability for Pedestrian Accidents
In Ontario, when a pedestrian or cyclist is struck by a motor vehicle the driver of the vehicle is presumed to be at fault.  This presumption of negligence, however, can be rebutted by the driver and/or by their insurance company and their legal team.  In serious pedestrian accident cases, such as fatal accidents or other catastrophic injury cases, insurance companies and their lawyers often fight vigorously to contest fault or liability.  Where the pedestrian is killed or catastrophically impaired, the victim is unable to provide any account of the accident details.   This gives opportunity for the insurance companies to search for facts or circumstances that permit them to blame the pedestrian.  In all serious pedestrian accident cases, it is important to retain an experienced injury lawyer early to preserve your rights.  A lawyer will often be able to investigate the circumstances of the accident early and appropriately respond to any attempts by the insurance company to blame the accident on the victim.  

Who Can Make a Claim for Wrongful Death Following a Fatal Pedestrian Accident in Ontario?
In Ontario, wrongful death claims are subject to the Family Law Act.  Specifically, Part V of the Family Law Act provides that, where a person is injured or killed by the fault or neglect of another, then the spouse, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters of the person are entitled to recover their pecuniary loss resulting from the death.
