Benefits & Compensation for Victims of Crime

Under Ontario law, no-fault accident benefits may be available if you have been injured in motor vehicle accident. Ontario's Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS) provides for various coverages to pay the costs of medical treatment, required therapy, medication costs and out of pocket expenses. Benefits are also available to partially compensate for wage and income loss. Those who are unemployed at the time of an accident may also qualify for ongoing benefit payments, pending their recovery.
