Additionally, the at-fault driver’s insurer may be responsible for compensating of your pain and suffering, loss of income, future health care expenses, housekeeping costs and other losses in excess of the amounts paid out through accident benefits. However, the Ontario government imposes a $40,000 deductible to be surpassed for pain and suffering, and it requires that the plaintiff ‘s injuries to cross what is called “the threshold” of being both permanent and serious.

At BolandRomaine, we have successfully taken cases to trial where the defendant raises the threshold.

MacDonald v. Talaba (defendant’s offer: $10K. Jury verdict: $356,020)
Copeland v. Knox (defendant’s offer: $37,360. Jury verdict: $161,591.34)
Cockburn v. Holmes (defendant’s offer: $0k. Jury verdict, $420,000) – threshold abandoned mid trial

We’d like to help with your recovery and future.
