In Kosal v. Aviva Insurance, 2017 ONSC 6594, the plaintiff’s lawsuit was dismissed because they failed to provide timely notice to their insurer. The judge ruled that the delay resulted in “prejudice” against the insurance company, barring the claim.

• Maintain regular contact with your lawyer.

• Request written updates on case progress.

Personal injury law is complex. In Khan v. Harb, 2022 ONSC 2120, the plaintiff’s case was weakened due to improper filing.

Evidence is key in personal injury cases. In Stegenga v. Economical Mutual Insurance Co., 2019 ONCA 615, lack of documentation weakened the plaintiff’s case.

Courts often reduce damages when claimants fail to follow treatment plans. In Berta v. Johnston, 2010 ONSC 5716, compensation was reduced due to treatment non-compliance.

In Ontario, courts recognize future damages as part of personal injury claims. In Gordon v. Greig, 2007 ONCA 32, the plaintiff received significant compensation for long-term rehabilitation.

Insurance adjusters look for inconsistencies to reduce or deny claims. In Valdez v. Intact Insurance, 2018 ONSC 471, the court upheld a denial based on inconsistencies between a recorded statement and medical records.

Insurance companies often deny claims based on “failure to mitigate damages,” meaning if you don’t seek treatment promptly, they assume you weren’t injured—or that something else caused your injuries. In Simmons v. Yeung, 2013 ONSC 2072, the court ruled against a plaintiff due to delayed medical treatment, reducing their compensation significantly.

OCF-1 forms should be submitted within 30 days of the accident. Always file as soon as possible.

To have payments go directly to healthcare providers, you must initial the relevant section on your OCF form. Otherwise, bills will be sent to you instead.

Before submission, review every page. Ensure all required signatures and dates are present. Keep copies for your records.
