At this year’s conference, personal injury lawyers Darcy Merkur and Ryan Murray provided an overview of the upcoming changes to Ontario auto legislation with specific emphasis on Accident Benefits and Tort.

A few of the changes addressed were:

  • Major reductions to statutory accident benefits (for accidents on or after June 1, 2016);
  • A narrowing of the definition of “catastrophic impairment” (for accidents on or after June 1, 2016); and,
  • An increase to the tort deductible (as of August 1, 2015).
