What are the rights of family members of a pedestrian or cyclist who is killed as a result of an Ontario car accident?

In Ontario, when a pedestrian or cyclist is killed as a result of a car accident, the surviving family members may have a claim for wrongful death. A wrongful death claim is a civil claim and it does not assign criminal responsibility for the death.  Most often the proceeds are available through insurance.  Among other damages, the family of a person killed  in a pedestrian or bicycle accident may be able to obtain compensation for the loss of guidance, care  and companionship of their loved one.  There are also no-fault death benefits that may be available.
