Truck Accidents

If you are a truck driver who has been involved in an accident or you are an individual that has been involved in an accident involving a truck, it is important to know your rights. In Ontario, if you are at fault for the accident and have sustained serious injuries, you are entitled to pursue an accident benefits claim. However, if you are not deemed at fault for the accident, you are eligible to pursue an accident benefits claim and a tort claim. Although there are numerous factors involved in determining your eligibility to either an accident benefits claim or a tort claim, it is ultimately important to speak with a personal injury lawyer to know about your legal rights and options.
