Big changes are coming to Ontario’s auto insurance system. Starting July 1, 2026, several important accident benefits — including income replacement, caregiver, and death and funeral benefits — will become optional coverage.

These benefits provide critical support for people injured in car crashes and their families as they recover and rebuild their lives. Without them, many Ontarians may be left without the financial help they need after a serious collision.

Yesterday, Priya Shah and Laurie Tucker along with other OTLA members met with MPPs and Attorney General Doug Downey at Queen’s Park to discuss these changes and how they could impact access to justice for injured people across the province.

Thank you to the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association for organizing a record number of meetings with MPPs to raise awareness about these important issues.

As these changes approach, we encourage all Ontarians to review their insurance policies and make sure they have the coverage they need to protect themselves and their families.

Emotional distress can be just as devastating as physical injury — and in Ontario, you may be able to seek compensation. Our latest blog from Éliane Lachaîne explains what it takes to prove an emotional distress claim and how the courts handle these complex cases.

🔍 Learn about:
• The difference between negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
• What kinds of suffering qualify — such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, or insomnia.
• The evidence you’ll need to show real, lasting impact on your life.
• How Canadian courts assess damages for psychological injuries, and the general compensation limits.
• Why having an experienced personal injury lawyer makes a difference in building your case.

✅ How insurers use questionnaires, IMEs, and functional assessments
✅ Your obligations around rehabilitation and returning to work
✅ What to do if the insurer demands more than is reasonable
