At Iacobelli Law Firm, we are proud to announce that our dedicated team of personal injury lawyers is gearing up for a trial in Newmarket, Ontario.  On November 20, 2023, we will step into the courtroom with our colleague, Adriano Pranzitelli, to fight for justice on behalf of a passenger who was injured in a motor vehicle accident. This trial is not just about securing compensation; it's about standing up against the injustices that some insurance companies perpetrate.

The Case:
This particular case has reached trial because the insurance company for the at-fault driver has stubbornly refused to provide any compensation to the injured victim.   The Plaintiff, a mother of 2, was a passenger in a car operated by her husband, when they were suddenly t-boned on the passenger side by a careless driver.  The insurance company for the at-fault driver has admitted that their driver was at fault for causing the crash, and has also acknowledged that the plaintiff had injuries from that crash.  Nonetheless, they have taken a hardline stance.   The truth is, if the victim loses her trial, the insurance company will ask the judge to order her to pay them for their legal expenses- this could be as much as $100,000.  It is a terrifying scenario for most anyone injured in an accident, and the insurance companies know it.  Insurance companies are billion dollar companies and they can afford to hire lawyers to delay and deny claims for years.  Unfortunately, they sometimes use this power imbalance to strong arm victims into accepting unreasonable settlements or walking away completely. 

The insurance company here is a British multinational insurance company headquartered in London, England - it has a large share of the Ontario auto insurance market.   It is no stranger to these tactics, and this case is yet another example of their aggressive approach. The plaintiff's fight for justice has become a battle against not only the insurance company but also a system that sometimes enables such behavior.

The Importance of This Trial:
This trial represents more than just another legal proceeding. It is a fight for justice, accountability, and the rights of accident victims. It is an opportunity to challenge the tactics employed by insurance companies that can leave individuals who have already suffered from accidents in even greater distress.

In a jury trial, the plaintiff and the defendant are afforded the opportunity to present their case to an impartial group of individuals who will determine the outcome based on the evidence presented. While insurance will play a critical role in the case, the jury will not be made aware of its involvement. This ensures that the verdict will be reached solely on the merits of the case, unclouded by preconceived notions about insurance companies or their practices.

Our Commitment:
At Iacobelli Law Firm, we are committed to advocating for our clients, even when faced with roadblocks imposed by big insurance companies. We believe in holding those responsible for injuries accountable and ensuring that victims receive the compensation they deserve. This trial is a testament to our unwavering commitment to fighting for justice.

It is mandatory for Ontario, Canada auto insurance to include no-fault benefits coverage.  In Ontario, this is referred to as Statutory Accident Benefits.  In the United States, this first-party coverage is sometimes referred to as PIP and/or Med-Pay.   Ontario auto insurance policies provide coverage for medical expenses, attendant care and, in some circumstances, housekeeping expenses.  Ontario's no-fault coverage is available when a Canadian resident is injured in a motor vehicle crash while in their home province, or while travelling abroad.   This coverage is particularly important for Canadians injured while traveling in the United States, because of the high cost of US emergency medical care. 

It is important to be aware that there are specific forms and notice requirements in order to obtain no-fault benefits from your Ontario auto insurance policy.  If the accident occurred in the United States, you will have to elect between Ontario benefits and those available in the US State where the crash occurred.  This is an extremely important decision, which should not be taken lightly.   The choice is final, and can have major consequences.  Many US states have modest standard no-fault benefits or none at all.  Depending on the nature and severity of the injuries, Ontario's benefits can be as much as $1 million dollars for medical treatment and attendant care, in addition to income replacement benefits and housekeeping benefits.  A more modest injury, would provide for $65,000 in medical and rehabilitation coverage in addition to income loss coverage.  The point is, the facts of the particular situation are important and a lawyer should carefully consider benefits available under the laws of each jurisdiction before making an election. 

In Ontario, Canada, there is no right to bring a civil lawsuit for disputes with the insurance company over no-fault accident benefits.  Instead, these disputes are within the jurisdiction of a tribunal.  This is an important distinction, particularly where the crash happened in the United States.  That is, if you already have a lawyer in the State where the crash occurred, they will likely not be able to advance your no-fault case.  

Finally, for Canadians injured in the United States, there is also available UM coverage in Ontario auto policies.  This means, coverage for underinsured motorists that cause the accident.  If you are a Canadian injured in a motor vehicle  crash in the United States, then you need to be concerned about UM coverage.  Most Ontario auto policies provide coverage of $1 million or more where you are injured due to the negligence of an underinsured driver.  These claims are contractual in nature, and must be filed in Ontario for Ontario auto insurance policies.  That means, you might have to have two lawsuits proceeding at the same time - one in the US State and the other in Ontario.  There are deadlines to bringing a UM claim.  If you have information that the at-fault driver is underinsured, call me or ask your US attorney to reach out.  I have worked with attorneys accross the US to help Canadians obtain all of the compensation they are entitled to both in the US and in Canada.

If someone is driving a car without valid insurance and they are injured in a car accident, can they still sue?  Well, Section 267.6 of the Insurance Act, deals with this exact scenario.  That section of Ontario law provides the following:

No action by uninsured owner or lessee
267.6 (1) Despite any other Act, a person is not entitled in an action in Ontario to recover any loss or damage from bodily injury or death arising directly or indirectly from the use or operation of an automobile if, at the time of the incident, the person was contravening subsection 2 (1) of the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act in respect of that automobile.

Prosecution not necessary
(2) Subsection (1) applies whether or not the person was prosecuted for or convicted of an offence under the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act.  1996, c. 21, s. 29.

Based on the plain language of the statute, a person is usually not entitled to bring a lawsuit for bodily injury or death if they are not insured as required by Ontario's Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act. 

It is still important to speak to a lawyer if you are not sure whether you have a right to make a claim for your injuries.  There may be particular distinguishing facts that will allow a person to bring a lawsuit even if the vehicle was not insured at the time of the accident.    Additionally, there may be other no-fault benefits that could still be available even if the vehicle was not insured.

Car accidents are unexpected and traumatic events that can leave individuals grappling with physical injuries, emotional distress, and financial burdens. If you've recently been involved in a car accident, you might be wondering if you need legal representation. While not every accident requires a lawyer, certain circumstances warrant seeking professional legal assistance. In this article, we explore key indicators that can help you determine if you need legal representation after a car accident.

The Severity of Injuries
One of the most critical factors in deciding whether to seek legal representation is the severity of injuries sustained in the car accident. If you or your passengers have suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, head trauma, spinal cord injuries, or injuries requiring hospitalization, it is essential to consult with a personal injury lawyer.  A lawyer can help ensure you receive fair compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Unclear Liability or Disputed Fault
Determining liability in a car accident can be complex, especially when there are disputes regarding fault. If the other driver denies responsibility or if there are multiple parties involved, having a skilled personal injury lawyer by your side can be invaluable. An experienced lawyer will investigate the accident thoroughly, gather evidence, and work to establish fault, increasing your chances of obtaining a favorable outcome in your case.

Insurance Company Tactics
Dealing with insurance companies can be overwhelming, especially when they employ tactics to minimize payouts. Insurance adjusters might try to settle quickly for an amount that may not adequately cover your damages. Having legal representation can level the playing field.  An injury lawyer can negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf, ensuring that you receive a fair settlement that encompasses all your losses.

Long-Term or Permanent Injuries
In cases where car accident injuries lead to long-term or permanent disabilities, the stakes are significantly higher. You may require ongoing medical treatment, adaptive equipment, and assistance with daily living activities. A personal injury lawyer can help assess the full extent of your damages and fight for appropriate compensation to secure your future well-being.

Loss of Income and Earning Capacity
If your car accident injuries have resulted in time off work or an inability to perform your job at full capacity, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages and diminished earning capacity. A lawyer can assist in calculating these losses and ensure you are appropriately compensated for the impact the accident has had on your financial stability.

Legal Complexity and Statute of Limitations
Navigating the legal process can be complex, especially if you're unfamiliar with personal injury laws and procedures. Missing important deadlines or failing to adhere to the statute of limitations could jeopardize your ability to file a claim altogether. By hiring a knowledgeable lawyer, you can rest assured that your case is handled properly and within the required timeframe.

After a car accident, knowing whether you need legal representation can be challenging. However, if you find yourself facing severe injuries, disputed liability, pushback from insurance companies, or long-term repercussions, seeking the counsel of a personal injury lawyer is advisable. A skilled lawyer will protect your rights, assess the full extent of your damages, and work tirelessly to secure the compensation you deserve.

Remember that many personal injury lawyers offer free initial consultations, allowing you to discuss your case without any financial risk. If you're uncertain about whether you need legal representation, it's always best to consult with a lawyer to understand your options and protect your best interests.

As car accident injury lawyers, we see firsthand the impact that car accidents have on mental health and emotional well being.  These injuries may be invisible to most, but to the victim the impact of a mental health injury can be catastrophic.  While the physical injuries sustained in a car accident are often the focus of medical attention, it is important not to overlook the impact that car accidents can have on mental health and emotional well-being.

Here are some of the ways that car accidents can impact mental health and emotional well-being:

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Car accidents can be a traumatic event, and some people may develop PTSD as a result. Symptoms of PTSD can include flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety.
• Depression and Anxiety: It's common for people involved in car accidents to experience depression and anxiety. These conditions can be brought on by the physical injuries sustained in the accident, as well as the emotional trauma.
• Fear of Driving: After a car accident, some people may develop a fear of driving, which can impact their ability to travel to work or engage in other activities.
• Insomnia: Insomnia is a common problem for people who have been involved in a car accident. The stress and anxiety of the accident can make it difficult to sleep at night.
• Relationship Problems: Car accidents can cause significant stress on relationships, particularly if one or both partners are injured in the accident. This can lead to arguments, feelings of resentment, and a breakdown in communication.

Even a car accident that does not cause any physical injuries can result in major emotional and mental health issues.  If you have been involved in a car accident, and your noticing changes to your mood or emotions, it is important to seek medical attention.  A mental health professional can help you process the trauma of the accident and develop coping strategies to manage the emotional injuries.  If you know someone that was involved in a car accident, pay attention for signs of mental health injury and encourage your loved one to get appropriate help. 

The good news is that, in many cases, mental health issues following a car accident can improve with psychological treatment.  I recently sat down with a clinical psychologist, Dr. Jeremy Frank, to learn more about mental health after a car accident and options for victims to get better.  The video is posted below or you can watch it on our YouTube channel or Podcast.

Some common question we are asked are: "How long will it take to settle my car accident case?" or  "Why is it taking so long for my car accident case to settle?"  These are great questions, and we understand how frustrating it can be for victims of car accidents waiting for their cases to resolve either by settlement or trial verdict.  Personal injury cases can be stressful and this is made all the worse when you are waiting for your case to conclude.  Unfortunately, while your lawyer may have opinions with respect to the merits and value of your case, this doesn't always mean that the insurance company for the defendant will concede and resolve the case.  That is, insurance companies can, if they choose, drag out your car accident case by making unreasonable offers to settle your case.  In some instances, insurance companies will offer no money at all for as long as they can, despite the fact that you were objectively injured in the car accident.  In Ontario, another factor that allows insurance companies to essentially delay your case is the fact that it takes a long time to get a trial.  Our courts are overloaded with cases, and there are simply not enough judicial resources to hear and resolve all of the cases that are pending.  The insurance companies know this, and some insurance companies routinely take advantage of this fact by delaying and denying claims that have merit.  

In our experience as car accident lawyers handling hundreds of car accident cases every year, we have seen unmistakeable trends with certain insurance companies in Ontario.  In particular, it has been our experience that the one particular insurance company, which will remain unamed in this article (we'll call them out in an upcoming blog) is the insurance company in Ontario that most often delay cases by failing to engage in any meaningful settlement discussions.   In fact, in our experience, this particular insurance company takes a hardline approach in defending lawsuits as well as in claims that are made by their own policyholders.  This insurance company does not hide the fact that they do not want to pay injury victims; in fact, their own adjusters and lawyers often broadcast this point.  It seems to be a point of pride for this insurance company and their team, that they will drag injury victims through the mud.   Very often, it's the first thing we hear from an adjuster or their lawyer. Some of the lawyers doing work on behalf of this insurance company do express their disagreement with the approach, and say that the insurance company will not take their advice to pay the claim.   This particular insurance company is not only hurting the injured victim in Ontario, they are also a burden on our society.  By forcing litigation in cases with merit, they tax our court resources, they delay treatment and recovery for accident victims, which keeps these individuals out of the workforce and from being productive.  When an insurance company takes this approach they are also hurting their insured policyholder.  The policyholder is also put under the continuing stress of a pending lawsuit without closure for years.  

Of course, any insurance company has the right to defend a case how it sees fit, provided they are acting in good faith with respect to their policyholder.  We recognize that most insurance companies will vigorously defend contentious cases that may lack merit or those with other issues such as liability.   With this insurance company, however, it has been our experience that even cases with merit - those with objective injuries and clear fault - are routinely defended aggressively, and we can only speculate that this is for the purpose of delay and wearing down the plaintiff.   We can only surmise that, in the short term, this is found to be a profitable way to conduct claims handling.   When international insurance companies come to Canada they earn substantial revenues from premiums paid by hardworking Canadians.   Ultimately, in the long run, the approach of delaying and denying claims may cost the company more than what they are saving in the short term; the public tends to respond to business reputation with their hard-earned money.  Most of our clients that have had the experience of a claim with one particular international insurance company, tell us in no uncertain terms that they will never purchase another policy of insurance with this compnany.   We all know that an unsatisfied customer tends to broadcast their experience far more than a satisifed customer.   In fact, I even know insurance brokers that steer clients away from this particular insurance company because the insurer denied or delayed accident benefit claims.  In the end, an insurance product is about peace of mind and service and this company delivers neither.    I consider myself level headed and objective.  In my more than 20 years experience, I have only lost my temper and yelled at an insurance adjuster once, and it was an adjuster for this particular company - why?  Because the adjuster made it plainly clear that she was withholding funding for treatment for my brain injured client in hopes that the client would eventually lose touch with myself and her family so that she could no longer pursue the claim.  It was despicable.    

For a jury in a car accident case, they may also be wondering why the trial is taking place so many years after the accident.  In all likelihood, it is because the insurance company for the at-fault driver dragged the case on for years and decided not to make any attempt to resolve the claim.  Most injury victims do not want to go to trial, and most are extremely reasonable in their expectations for compensation following a car accident injury. The laws in Ontario make it unlikely that an injury victim will ever be fully compensated for the harms or losses, and certainly there is no opportunity for a windfall.  If the case is at trial, it is probably because the insurance company did not want to pay anything to the victim.  

While this is not the only reason why a car accident case may take a long time to resolve, it is certainly a major factor.  Your personal injury lawyer most likely wants to resolve your case as soon as possible, once there is sufficient medical evidence to ascertain the value of your case.  This can typically occur within a year to two years.  If your case is taking longer than that, it is probably because the insurance company is refusing to pay money for your claim.   Instead of being frustrated with your lawyer, you might want to consider thanking your lawyer and their team for continuing to fight the difficult battle for you.  It's not easy to keep fighting a case for a long time without any revenue, and lots of expenses.  In addition to overhead, your lawyer has probably spent tens of thousands of dollars on expert reports that will be needed at trial.  If your case is not successful, your lawyer may be paid nothing for their time and expense.  While we know that the delay is a financial hardship to the victim and their family, if your lawyer is working on a contingency fee agreement, then they are also working for years without any pay for their efforts.  Keep this in mind, and remember you and your lawyer are on the same side and your lawyer wants the best possible result for you.  

We hope that this helps explain why sometimes a car accident case can take longer than expected and gives you some peace of mind.

When pedestrians are the victims in a collision with a car, the results can be devestating.  Cars hitting pedestrians can cause serious injuries and even fatalities.  Many catastrophic injuries are the result of a car or truck striking a pedestrian.  Every year, far too many pedestrians are involved in accidents on the roads and sidewalks of the province, and many are left with lifelong physical, emotional, and financial losses. Understanding the causes of pedestrian accidents and knowing your rights as a pedestrian can help you stay safe and protect yourself in the event of an accident.

Common causes of pedestrian accidents in Ontario include:

• Distracted driving: Distracted drivers are a major threat to pedestrians, especially with the rise of cell phone use. Drivers who are texting, talking on the phone, or otherwise distracted can easily overlook pedestrians in their path.
• Reckless driving: Reckless driving, such as speeding, running red lights, and making sudden lane changes, puts pedestrians at risk.
• Poor road design: Poorly designed roads and sidewalks can create hazards for pedestrians, such as narrow sidewalks, lack of crosswalks, and insufficient lighting.
• Inclement weather: Wet and slippery conditions can make it difficult for drivers to see pedestrians and for pedestrians to maintain their footing.
• Intoxicated driving: Impaired drivers pose a serious risk to everyone on the road, including pedestrians.

As a pedestrian in Ontario, you have the right to use the roads and sidewalks safely. If you are hit by a vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and other losses, such as lost income and medical expenses.

To protect yourself as a pedestrian, it is important to take precautions such as:

• Being visible: Wear bright or reflective clothing, especially at night, and make eye contact with drivers before crossing the street.
• Staying focused: Put away your phone and other distractions and stay focused on the road while walking.
• Following the rules of the road: Cross at designated crosswalks and obey traffic signals and signs.
• Being aware of your surroundings: Pay attention to your surroundings, especially while walking near busy roads.

If you are involved in a pedestrian accident in Ontario, it is important to seek the guidance of an experienced personal injury lawyer.  A lawyer can help you understand your rights and assist you in pursuing a claim for compensation.  Our injury lawyers have recovered millions of dollars on behalf of victims of pedestrian accidents throughout the province of Ontario.  We understand that after a serious injury, you will need maximum compensation to secure your future.

There was a fatal accident in Markham, Ontario on Tuesday, October 12, 2022, at approximately 2 p.m..  This fatal accident in the area of Markham Road and Elson Street involved a dump truck with a trailer and an Acura with three occupants.
​
The driver, a 21-year-old male, and rear passenger, a 23-year-old female, in the Acura were sadly pronounced deceased at the scene. A third front passenger, a 52-year-old female, was transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries, where she remains in critical condition.

First and foremost the wrongful death lawyers and team at Iacobelli Law Firm offer sincere condolences to the family and friends of these two young people that lost their lives in this tragic fatal crash.   We also wish the survivor a speedy and full recovery from her serious injuries. 

The 46-year-old male driver of the dump truck remained at the scene with no injuries. 

Although the police investigation remains ongoing with York Regional Police, in our view the dump truck driver and owner will have civil responsibility for the deaths and injuries arising out of this crash.  That means, if the family members of the deceased decide to pursue a lawsuit, the owners and operators of the dump truck may have to pay money for the losses in a wrongful death claim.  Additionally, the female survivor, who is critically injured, could also bring a civil lawsuit to recover money for her injuries and losses.   In a civil case, the injured parties and their loved ones only need to show that the dump truck driver was in some way negligent in the operation of the dump truck and bears responsibility for the losses.  These claims are almost always covered by insurance, and in this case, it would be the insurance policy on the dump truck that would likely have to pay the claims.  

We have learned that there was dash cam footage of this accident, which captured the dump truck entering the intersection against a solid red traffic light signal.   From the perspective of a civil wrongful death claim, it appears clear from the dash cam footage that the driver of the dump truck was completely at fault for running a red light resulting in the death of two young people and serious injuries to another.  

It is important to note that  a civil claim is different and separate from any charges that may emerge from the police investigation.   Whether or not the police charge the driver of the dump truck, this will have little impact on the rights of the victims to bring their own separate civil claims for money damages.   The victims do not need to wait for the police investigation, but can launch their own claims immediately with the help of a personal injury lawyer that has experience with wrongful death claims.

There are reports of a serious motorcycle accident on August 16, 2022 on Highway 401 near Meadowvale Road in Scarborough.  This incident was the result of a large 4x4 container falling off another vehicle on the highway 401. Unfortunately, the motorcycle collided with this fallen object, resulting in serious life-threatening injuries for the motorcyclist.

This motorcycle crash occurred in the eastbound express lanes of Highway 401 around 1 p.m. on August 16, 2022.  The OPP indicated that they have located the vehicle the container came from.

This is an unfortunate incident that could have been avoided if the container was properly secured to the vehicle.  When loads are not properly secured, they can often result in serious injuries.  Our lawyers have represented people injured in accidents where loads were not properly secured.
