About Motorcycle Accidents
Injuries from motorcycle crashes are rarely minor and often result in severe or catastrophic impairments.
Motorcycles are increasingly popular in Canda with an associated increase in serious injuries and deaths from motorcycle accidents. In 2020, Transport Canada reported that 242 motorcycle and moped riders were fatally injured in crashes. This is the highest number of deaths recorded in 20 years. Of these, T-bone collisions are the most common cause of fatalities from motorcycle crashes, followed by crashes at intersections and on highways.
Motorcycle Insurance
In Ontario, motorcycles that are operated on highways are required to be insured under automobile policies. Crash victims are therefore entitled to compensation from one or more sources. First, someone injured in a motorcycle crash may receive “no fault” benefits from an Ontario automobile insurer, or in some cases, the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund. These benefits include income replacement, medical and rehabilitation expenses, attendant care and others. These benefits are available regardless of fault in the motorcycle accident.

Second, if the crash was someone else’s the fault, the victim may bring a lawsuit to recover compensation. Such compensation includes damages for pain and suffering, income loss, medical and rehabilitation expenses, care costs and loss of housekeeping or handyperson services.
