Wrongful death is a legal term used to describe an injury, accident, or illness caused by a careless, irresponsible, or erroneous action of an individual.

It could be, but not limited to any of the accident types listed below:

● Medical malpractice

● Catastrophic truck accidents

● Fatal car accidents

● Fatal motorcycle accidents

● Exercise Equipment accidents

● Electrical Accidents

● Drowning accidents

● Slip and Fall Accidents

● Nursing Home Negligence/Elder Abuse

● Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

● Ski Accidents

● Child Injury Cases

In most cases, the blood relatives (spouse, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, brothers, and sisters) have the legal right to file a claim for loss resulting from the death. In some cases, there could be other people depending on the circumstances of the accident.

The amount of a claim in Ontario depends on the circumstances of the accident.

For most accidents, the wrongful death claim may cover the following:

(a) reasonable expenses incurred for the benefit of the person killed;

(b) reasonable funeral expenses incurred;

(c) payment instead of the loss of care, companionship, and guidance the

surviving family as the claimant could have reasonably expected to receive if the person was alive.

Time is Not on Your Side

Beware of Strict Time Limits to file a claim.

The loss of a loved one is painful especially when it happens so suddenly. We know you're grieving. And as a result, you could all of a sudden be under unexpected financial hardships. However, insurance claims can cover your financial loss. It also would help you to know your legal rights.

In Ontario, we have a strict limitation period within which you must file a wrongful death claim. A person generally has two years after the loss of a loved one to file a wrongful death lawsuit. If you file a lawsuit outside of the limitation period your case will be dismissed.

1. One way you will get compensation is through your wrongful death claim

2. You may also be able to recover death and funeral benefits under Ontario’s Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS). Don't worry about these legal terms, we will explain them in detail when we meet.

In car accident claims death and funeral benefits are as follows:

● Spouse’s benefit: A payment to the deceased’s spouse of $25,000 (or $50,000 if optional coverage was purchased);

● Dependents' benefits: A payment to each of the deceased’s dependents of $10,000 (or $20,000 if optional coverage was purchased). Also, if no spouse’s benefit is required (e.g., because the deceased person was not married), the $25,000 is split equally among the deceased’s dependents.

● Funeral benefit: A funeral benefit to pay for funeral expenses up to $6,000 (or $8,000 if optional coverage was purchased).

Death and funeral benefits may be available regardless of who was at fault. That is, even if no one was at fault for the accident, and even if the deceased family member was at fault, these accident benefits may still be available.
