    What to Know if You Have Been Injured by a Truck

    The first critical thing to know is that truck accident victims are entitled to statutory accident benefits through their own insurance company (or if they don’t have auto insurance, the truck driver’s insurance). These benefits are essential because they will help with the immediate treatment and care of the victims after an accident, including physiotherapy, assistive devices, attendant care support, and income support.

    Depending on the case, you may also have the right to sue the driver or trucking company. You may also be entitled to additional compensation for medical costs, income loss, diminished projected salary, home maintenance expenses, pain and suffering, and more.

    Due to the complexities of determining liability in large commercial truck crashes, you may be entitled to more money than initially appears. The trucking company may have several insurance policies, general liability, commercial liability and others, making determining how much money is available a challenging but important exercise. Beyond Law’s truck accident lawyers are familiar with Ontario’s insurance regime and what steps must be taken in order to maximize your compensation so that you can focus on your recovery.

    Truck Accident Lawyers for Personal Injury Claims

    When you are involved in a truck accident in Toronto, a personal injury lawyer is one of your most important phone calls. Even if the insurance company initially cooperates with you, there is far more to this process than may be initially apparent. A truck accident lawyer will ensure your rights are protected.

    Truck accidents often lead to personal injury claims, and due to the size and weight of trucks, the risk of severe damage to any passenger vehicle is significant. And if a pedestrian, bicyclist or motorcyclist gets hit, the consequences can be even more devastating, even life-threatening. Due to the potential injuries of these accidents, a personal injury lawyer is critical to ensure that all of your claims are complete.

    You may be entitled to compensation for the following:

    • Medical bills, including emergency and ongoing care
    • Chronic pain and loss of function
    • Pain and suffering
    • Lost time at work
    • Rehabilitation expenses
    • Loss of life

    A truck accident lawyer can help you determine what and how much you are entitled to and ensure you will get the compensation you and your family deserve.

    Important Timelines

    Many important deadlines are relevant to motor vehicle accident claims, including truck accident claims. These include:

    • You must inform the accident benefits insurance company of the accident and that you were hurt within 7 days of the accident.
    • If you believe your accident was caused by the fault of a municipality or the Ministry of Transportation (due to, for example, poor road design or road conditions), a notice of a pending lawsuit must be submitted within 10 days of the accident date.
    • You must submit an accident benefits application package within 30 days of receiving it from the insurance company. Any delays can lead to a delay in your benefits, and the insurer may be able to deny you benefits altogether.
    • Your insurance can request certain information in order to determine your entitlement to certain benefits. You have 10 business days to provide this information. Otherwise, the insurance can suspend or outright deny your benefits.
    • If your accident benefits insurer denies benefits you believe you are entitled to, you have 2 years to apply to the License and Appeals Tribunal to dispute the denial.

    You must file a lawsuit against any at-fault parties within two years of the accident date. However, we recommend contacting a truck accident lawyer as soon as possible to ensure evidence and recollections are still fresh.

    Other important information

    It is essential to know that even if you are at fault, you may still be the victim of negligence and should consult with a truck accident lawyer. Possible negligence includes defects of the road surface, ice or snow-covered roads, improper road design, or sightline obstructions.

    What Our Clients Say

    Connor Cooper

    I was involved in a bad hit and run accident where I suffered life altering injuries. This was the most difficult time in my life and the case itself lasted 3 years. Josh Nisker thankfully was referred to me. All cases are unique and challenging in there own way but I believe due to certain details and circumstances my accident was an extreme example. That said Josh made the absolute best of a worst case scenario. I wouldn’t want any other lawyer or person in my corner if I had to go through it again. He’s extremely professional and punctual, smart and patient. He’s also whatever you need him to be, what I mean by that… he really cares, he listens, he’s genuine. He goes above and beyond his duty as a lawyer. In my case, story and eyes honestly Josh Nisker and his team at Beyond Law are heros. Also want to mention and thank Gabby for all her help, effort and support throughout the entire 3 years. She helped not only me but my family when I was in out of surgery and unable to get information, documents, etc to her or Josh. Thank you for everything. Choose Josh Nisker and the team at Beyond Law. They are voted the best, reviewed the best for a reason. Josh and his team proved it to my family and I from start to finish. I can’t say enough good things or even begin to explain how thankful iam.

    Henry R.

    In July of 2018, I was injured in a head-on collision that resulted in a 2-month hospitalization in which I almost lost my leg to amputation. Josh Nisker helped me through the most difficult 3 years of my life after a very traumatic and life-changing injury. I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Josh for all of his efforts in managing such a complex and challenging legal system. Josh is the most caring, kind, and hardworking Personal Injury Lawyer who is extremely thoughtful, methodical, and meticulous. These are just a few traits that make Josh an exceptional lawyer (and on top of that, an unbelievably kind person) who was voted as one of the best Toronto personal injury lawyers through “Best Lawyers in Canada (bestlawyers.com)”. This title is very well deserved! I would highly recommend Josh to anyone who needs a Personal Injury Lawyer. Josh is incredibly knowledgeable and goes out of his way to make sure that his clients are well represented and always has the best interest of his clients in mind. I am eternally grateful to have had Josh represent me, and I cannot thank and endorse Josh enough. He is truly exceptional!

    Dorelle Noronha

    I am extremely grateful to Kate Mazzucco for willingly accepting to help me out with my accident case which was not moving forward due to the negligence of the previous lawyer. Kate was outstanding and went above and beyond to handle my case. The level of service that i received was exceptional at every stage of the process. Kate is very knowledgeable and determined to work for the satisfactory benefit of her clients. I enjoyed dealing with Kate and her staff, (specially Gabby) they are courteous and made me feel very comfortable. They took the time to explain things when required. I would gladly recommend Kate & her team to anyone who needed a personal injury lawyer. I am sure you will receive the best service possible at Beyond Law. Note: Prior to reaching out to Kate Mazzucco, I had another very aggressive & rude lawyer from another firm handling my case. That lawyer made me very uncomfortable and nervous. It felt like he was working for the benefit of the opposite party. I am so glad that i contacted Beyond Law and spoke to Kate who so willingly agreed to represent me. Thank you Kate and thanks to your staff also for helping me overcome this hurdle.

    Charlotte Dove

    Finding yourself in need of a personal injury lawyer is one of the most overwhelming things you can experience. Over 5 years ago I was in that position and had the luck of finding the team at Beyond Law. They took care of every aspect of my case going above and “beyond” at every turn. They supported me in every way and were even instrumental in my case, as well as getting me the best medical care possible when I hit a roadblock. They were kind, encouraging and really know how to navigate this process so I never at any point had to worry that my best interests weren’t being looked out for. It allowed me to focus on my recovery and healing both my body and mind which is the most important part after an accident. This process is a scary one, especially when you are trying to focus on getting better and don’t know where to turn. Having a team like Kate, Gabby and the rest of the wonderful support staff at Beyond was essential to my recovery. If you are on the fence or unsure of your next steps, give them a call and they can walk you through the process and help you to start to get a resolution. You really need someone that you can trust in a situation like this and folks really are the gold standard.

    Lisa Kendrew-Smith

    While no one wants to find themselves in a position to reach out to a lawyer for help, Josh Nisker and his team from Beyond Law were able to guide me through one of the most difficult times for me and my family. I was impressed with not only the professional advice, but the way Josh provided comfort and understanding during this difficult time. Josh always provided prompt communication and answered all questions. While feeling stressed and lost on how to move forward, Josh was able to coach me step by step and was committed to getting the best possible outcome for my family. I will be forever grateful for Josh Nisker’s support and guidance and would highly recommend Beyond Law to help navigate through any difficult circumstance. Thank you again Josh!!

    Shane Feldberg

    I retained Josh Nisker to represent me in what other lawyers deemed a “very tough case”. I was impressed with his work ethic and knowledge of the law. I was also impressed with his accessibility and availability to my questions. He helped me navigate the complex process of dealing with insurance companies, my own lawyer who dropped the ball, and all the legal issues that come with my type case. Without Josh’s help, I would have been lost, I truly believe no other lawyer would have been able to handle it. His hard work and knowledge of the law resulted in me getting more money than I ever thought possible. Should you be in the unfortunate situation of having to hire a personal injury lawyer, I promise Josh Nisker from Beyond Law is the man you want representing you.

    Jenny Lee

    Thank you Kate, Gabby, and Melissa for your help. Thank you for listening to my frustrations and being so patient. Kate and her team are very courteous, efficient and knowledgeable. What I really liked was how prompt they were when we communicated. Also, I appreciate that she took it upon herself to personally check in or update me when needed, and gave me options for various services – including matters beyond law (no pun intended). I felt Kate and her team always went the extra mile. She made everything look so easy. I actually quite admire her – not only as a young professional but as a human. I cannot say enough, so I will end it here. Best wishes!!! xoxo

    Lesley McCausland

    Kate and her team at Beyond Law were an absolute pleasure to work with. After a debilitating injury in 2018 I found myself looking for help, yes I had no idea where to start. From the first meeting with Kate in 2019, I felt at ease and knew there would be a light at the end of the dark tunnel I had found myself in. It’s hard to put into would how incredibly thankful I am to Kate and Gabby and the entire beyond Law team. Kate worked extremely hard and pushed for the absolute best result.

    FAQs About Truck Accident Injury Lawyers In Toronto

    Call a truck accident lawyer as soon as possible after the accident. Do not make any statements to your insurance company or the at fault driver’s insurance company before speaking to us.

    Ontario’s Limitations Act requires that you file a lawsuit by no later than two years after a truck accident. However, we recommend beginning legal action as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be to gather evidence and build a strong foundation for your case.

    It depends on your specific situation, but there may be a few options to help you cover lost wages. Our Toronto truck accident lawyers can help you determine if you are entitled to compensation from:

    • Income replacement benefits (though statutory accident benefits)
    • Short- and long-term disability insurance (either your a private insurance policy or through a group benefits policy)
    • Canada Pension Plan (CPP) disability benefits

    While every case is different, in our experience, the typical personal injury lawsuit settles within three to five years (and possibly longer if the case goes to trial). Our Toronto personal injury lawyers will do everything possible to expedite your case and find a resolution, whether in a settlement or trial. Once a resolution is secured, receiving your compensation will not take long.

    Every personal injury case is different, and many factors can influence the value of your case. Your personal injury lawyer will consider various factors to calculate an estimate, including the level of responsibility you bear and the severity of your injuries.

    Generally, you can recover two forms of compensatory damages: General and special. General damages, also known as “non-pecuniary damages,” cover intangible losses commonly described as “pain and suffering,” including physical or mental pain, disability, a loss of enjoyment of life.

    You may also be entitled to special damages are also called “pecuniary damages,” which are damages that can be quantified. These damages may include lost income, past and future medical expenses, and housekeeping expenses.
