Denied treatment or assessments
The insurer's written reasons, the proposed treatment, and the supporting clinical information should be considered together.
Accident Benefits Lawyer for Ontario Clients
Rozine Law helps people understand Ontario statutory accident benefits and disputes involving treatment, income, assessments, and insurer decisions.
Accident benefits in plain English
Ontario automobile insurance policies include statutory accident benefits, often called SABS benefits. Depending on the policy and circumstances, these benefits may address certain treatment, rehabilitation, income, care, or related needs after a motor vehicle accident.
Accident benefits are separate from a claim about who caused a collision. Eligibility and available benefits depend on the legislation, policy, medical evidence, and individual facts.
Why accident benefit disputes arise
Disagreements can develop when an insurer requests more information, arranges an assessment, denies a treatment plan, stops a benefit, or takes a different view of the injuries and their effect.
Income and functional evidence
Employment information and medical evidence may be relevant when a benefit depends on the person's ability to work or carry out activities.
Insurer examinations
An insurer may request an assessment as part of its decision-making process. The request and resulting report can have practical consequences for the claim.
Dispute options
The appropriate response may involve supplying information, seeking reconsideration, negotiation, or a formal dispute process, depending on the issue.
Connecting benefits with the collision claim
Accident benefits often form one part of a broader motor vehicle accident matter. Keeping medical records, insurer correspondence, forms, and treatment information organized can help a lawyer understand how the benefit dispute relates to the injuries and any other claim.
Alex Rozine can review the insurer's decision and explain the available next steps without assuming that every denial has the same answer.
