“Today’s incident is a sad reminder of the challenges the TTC faces on the roads every day. We will support the operator and any employee who requires it as a result of this incident. We will also continue to assist Toronto Police Service with their investigation.”

Accident Benefit Schedule

In any accident involving a motor vehicle, injured persons may also make a claim for injury compensation against their automobile insurance policy. This option, termed 'statutory accident insurance benefits' (SABS), is available to all Ontario residents under the Ontario Insurance Act, and is available to you whether or not you were at fault in causing the accident. The amount of benefits that an injured person is eligible to receive under SABS is directly related to the severity of injury they incurred. Someone who was catastrophically injured, according to SABS guidelines, is eligible for more substantial financial support than someone with minor injuries.
