Car insurance in Ontario changed dramatically yesterday. While most people were out enjoying themselves or returning from vacation the last thing on their mind is car insurance.

The new changes have serious ramifications for those involved in car accidents. For sometime now personal injury lawyers in Ontario have been arguing for a better approach to the current system in place prior to September 1, 2010. Unfortunately, the insurance companies seem to have won this battle.

Many people are unaware that when they have been involved in a car accident, they are entitled to receive benefits from their own insurance company. These benefits are called accident benefits. They consist of income, caregiver, housekeeping to name but a few. Under the new regime, the type of insurance coverage you purchase, to protect you in the event of a car accident will reflect the benefits you receive. In sum, if you pay more you get more, if you pay less you get less.

This will have dire consequences for those involved in car accidents.

If you or a loved one have been involved in a car accident, call the law office of Rehan Khalil, a Mississauga lawyer.
