Evidentary Support For Your Claim

In order to file a successful claim you must gather evidence to support your claim. This evidence need to demonstrates the exact financial losses that you’ve incurred since your car accident. This evidence includes documentation related to:

·Any medical costs you’ve incurred not covered by OHIP or private insurance.

·The costs related to short- and long-term home care not covered by local, provincial or federal government programs.

·Costs you’ve paid out-of-pocket for rehabilitation (again, not covered by insurance).

·Any provable financial losses you’ve incurred due to the TBI and car accident—both past and future.

·Limited losses related to pain and suffering, stress and psychological trauma.

·Your out-of-pocket expenses for home services you’ve been unable to perform, including home cleaning and repairs.
