Cycling is one of the most popular sports in Canada, and for good reason – it’s a great way to get fit, have fun, or just get around the city! But it’s unfortunately not without risk.

Whether it’s a quiet fishing trip, or a cruise on the lake on a sunny day, there’s nothing like getting out on the open water. But sadly, boating isn’t without its risks. One careless moment or one reckless driver can lead to tragedy. Hundreds of people in Ontario alone are involved in a boating accident each year.

Brain injuries are among the most devastating and life-changing injuries that can be sustained in an accident. They are also difficult for doctors to diagnose, which can add stress and uncertainty to an already challenging situation.

For anyone involved in a vehicle accident this can be one of the most traumatic experiences they will ever live through. Unfortunately, far too many people suffer life-changing injuries or even fatal injuries as a result of a vehicle accident, when another person’s reckless or negligent behavior is the cause of the accident.

People involved in serious accidents can be left with catastrophic, life-changing injuries. This can lead to a decline in the quality of life they were living, or restricting their abilities to function in daily activities. These injuries don’t just impact the victim; they can also have repercussions for the victim’s family. Aside from the pain of witnessing the suffering of a loved one, they might be required to step into a caregiving role. This could put the family under severe financial strain. As the pain and suffering are significantly higher in catastrophic injuries, the victim is entitled to receive much higher compensation compared to those who suffer minor injuries.

Most motorcyclists are careful, law-abiding drivers who take every precaution and respect the rules of the road. However, even the most cautious motorcycle drivers are susceptible to the mistakes of other drivers on the road, and are much more susceptible to catastrophic injuries especially when drugs, alcohol, or broken traffic laws are involved.

Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable accident victims. This means a disproportionately high number of serious or even fatal injuries can occur in the event of an accident involving a pedestrian.

Approximately 50 snowmobile-related deaths occur each year in Ontario and Quebec, in addition to roughly 1,200 injuries that require hospitalization.
