Toronto Ontario Fatal Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

What Compensation Is Available To The Family Following a Fatal Motorcycle Accident In Ontario?

In Ontario wrongful death and fatality motorcycle cases, the damages (compensation) will depend on the facts of the particular case.  No two fatality claims are the same, and the damages will need to be assessed by an experienced Ontario motorcycle accident lawyer. 

The following may be advanced as part of an Ontario wrongful death claim arising out of a fatal motorcycle crash:

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

(b) funeral expenses reasonably incurred;

(c) an amount to compensate for the loss of guidance, care and companionship that the claimant might reasonably have expected to receive from the person if the death had not occurred. 

It is important to note that, even if the motorcycle rider is partially responsible for the accident, the family may still be able to advance a claim for damages against the other involved vehicle driver and/or owner.  This is usually covered by the other vehicle's insurance policy.
