Unless you have sustained serious injuries or disfigurement of a permanent nature, you do not need to claim beyond the "no fault" scheme. You do not personally sue your friend / neighbour / relative. In Ontario, when a person has a valid policy of automobile insurance at the time of the motor vehicle accident, his or her insurance company will appoint defence counsel on his or her behalf. The insurance company pays when a settlement is reached between the parties. Again, it is important to contact a lawyer familiar with the insurance industry soon after the accident to receive compensation. Responsibility for the settlement of your case will rest with your lawyer in order that your relationship with the other party may continue undisturbed.
My injury involves friend / neighbour / relative. I do not like the idea of suing them. Is it going to make it worse for them if I do?

MARCH 2010
Pace Law Firm Obtains $3.4 Million Dollars in Settlement
Toronto, Ontario: Pace Law Firm recently obtained a $3.5 million dollar settlement for a client who suffered a car accident in 2003. The accident originally caused modest soft tissue damage which then escalated to catastrophic tissue damage, resulting in devastating effects for both client and family. The impact of the accident on the family was directly proportionate to the effect of the accident on the mother, and the settlement was awarded with this in mind.
