Our Approach to Catastrophic Injury Cases
When you hire us as your catastrophic injury lawyer, we are devoted to your success. In the context of a motor vehicle accident in Ontario, a “catastrophic” designation entitles the injured person to greater policy limits with respect to various benefits and expenses. For example, the limit of medical benefits for non-catastrophic injuries is $65,000, compared to up to $1,000,000 in the case of a catastrophic injury. Insurance companies in Ontario will often fight the catastrophic designation and it is necessary to use medical evidence to support the claim for such designation.
When you suffer a serious injury, your ability to work, conduct daily tasks, and care for your home and your family is negatively affected. You may even have difficulty dressing, driving and doing your usual activities. You may need a great deal of assistance to cover the significant costs of your medical, rehabilitative, and attendant care needs. You may also require modifications to your home and vehicle, which the insurance company should pay for. Without the catastrophic classification, your accident benefits are likely to run out quickly.

What qualifies
Catastrophic impairments we act on — Toronto & North York.
Insurance companies in Ontario will often fight the catastrophic designation. These are the impairments that generally meet it — and that we build medical evidence to prove.
Amputation & permanent limb impairment
Loss or permanent impairment of arms or legs
Amputation or permanent impairment of arms or legs is one of the clearest routes to a catastrophic designation, yet insurers still dispute the degree of impairment.
You may need a great deal of assistance to cover the significant costs of your medical, rehabilitative, and attendant care needs, as well as modifications to your home and vehicle, which the insurance company should pay for.
Blindness and loss of vision
Loss of vision in both eyes
Blindness and loss of vision in both eyes qualifies as a catastrophic impairment in Ontario.
When you suffer a serious injury, your ability to work, conduct daily tasks, and care for your home and your family is negatively affected. You may even have difficulty dressing, driving and doing your usual activities.
Traumatic brain damage
Certain traumatic brain injuries
Certain traumatic brain damage meets the catastrophic threshold and raises the medical and rehabilitation limit from $65,000 to up to $1,000,000.
Our brain injury lawyers assemble the medical evidence — consulting doctors, accident investigators, and other professionals — that is necessary to support the claim for such designation.
Paralysis and severe spinal injury
Paraplegia, tetraplegia and spinal cord trauma
Paralysis, paraplegia, tetraplegia, or severe spinal injury are catastrophic impairments that change every aspect of daily life and earning capacity.
See our dedicated spinal cord injury lawyer page for how these claims are built and what compensation is available.
Severe psychological injuries
Certain severe psychological impairments
Certain severe psychological injuries qualify for the catastrophic designation, and are among the impairments insurers most often contest.
A competent lawyer knows these matters and pays attention to every detail — medical reports, expert opinions, and substantial documentation often are a source of stress and anguish for injured persons in catastrophic injury claims.
Lifelong debilitating change
Physical and mental abilities
A condition or injury that results in lifelong debilitating changes to physical and mental abilities may be labelled catastrophic even where it does not fall neatly into another category.
Without the catastrophic classification, your accident benefits are likely to run out quickly. If your injury is serious but not accepted as catastrophic, contact us right away.
