Bicycle accidents are common in the Ottawa area.  When your cycling accident results in injury, let Auger Hollingsworth help you get the compensation you need.

• Statutory Accident Benefits (also called SABS or ABs or no fault)–>  Regardless of who caused the accident, anyone involved in an Ontario accident with a motor vehicle is entitled to Statutory Accident Benefits.  There benefits include:
  • medical and rehabilitation funds
  • income replacement benefits
  • attendant care
  • clothing replacement
  • visitors expenses
  • mileage
  • and more.
• Damages Claim (also called a tort claim) –> If you didn’t cause the accident, you may be entitled to bring a negligence claim against the driver who hit you and your bike.  In that claim, you can seek compensation for:

  • loss of income (if your loss is more than what is included in the income replacement benefits)
  • housekeeping
