SNOWMOBILE & ATV ACCIDENT

Snowmobile & ATV Accident

Ontario residents who sustain injuries while operating recreational vehicles such as snowmobiles and ATVs may potentially be entitled to receive compensation for their injuries. If the Snowmobile or ATV which was involved in an accident was covered by an insurance policy, the claim process would follow the principles similar to other motor vehicle accident claims.

In Ontario, all Snowmobile and ATV accident victims are entitled to what is called Accident Benefits. These benefits are there to primarily cover medical treatment and lost wages. However, those suffering from more severe injuries are potentially entitled to additional benefits such as Attendant Care and Care-giving.

Victims of Snowmobile and ATV accidents could potentially be entitled to file what is called a Tort Claim against the at-fault party. This means the injured person can seek to recover compensation for damages such as Pain and suffering, Loss of enjoyment of life, Loss of income and competitive advantage, Medical costs, and Out of pocket expenses.

The above information is just the basic framework of the very complex and often confusing system which can be very difficult to navigate without the assistance of an experienced personal injury law firm. There are strict time limits which must be adhered to in order to be eligible for certain benefits and if these limitations are missed, the victim may be prevented from filing a claim altogether.
