Aviva announces full-year financial results

Visitor Expenses – Can They Be Claimed?
When a person is injured, family members spring into action and rally around to help out in any way they can. Visiting a loved one in the hospital or at home following an accident is simply an automatic reaction for most of us. However, there are often costs associated with visiting our loved ones and, if the loved one was injured in a motor vehicle accident in Ontario, those costs are recoverable from the injured person’s auto insurance company. The Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule — (“SABS”) governs who may claim visitor expenses and the length of time that these claims will be considered.
