Knowing how much insurance is enough is not always straightforward.

The right level of coverage can depend on many factors, including whether you have workplace benefits, disability insurance, income protection, or other financial supports already in place.

What may be sufficient for one driver may not be enough for another.

Reviewing your overall financial and insurance situation can help determine whether your current policy provides the protection you would need after a serious accident.

Watch to learn what factors should be considered when evaluating whether your coverage is enough.

06/22/2026

Many people assume their workplace benefits will pay first after a motor vehicle accident, but that is not always the case.

Beginning July 1, Ontario’s updated accident benefits system will generally make auto insurers the first payor for most medical and rehabilitation expenses, with limited exceptions.

That means your own auto insurance may be responsible for covering treatment costs before your workplace benefits are accessed.

Understanding how benefit priority works can help avoid confusion during an already difficult time.

Watch to learn how these changes may affect the way treatment expenses are paid after an accident.

06/21/2026

With Ontario’s upcoming accident benefits changes, timing matters more than many drivers realize.

If your auto insurance policy was issued before July 1, your existing coverage remains in place until your policy renews, even if an accident happens after July 1.

What matters is not the date of the accident, but the date your policy changes or renews.

Understanding this distinction is important when reviewing your current coverage and preparing for future renewals.

Watch as Greg Willson explains how policy timing affects accident benefits coverage under the new system.

06/20/2026

If your auto insurance renews after July 1, 2026, doing nothing may not affect you the way you think.

For many existing policyholders, current accident benefits will remain in place automatically upon renewal unless changes are requested in writing.

However, drivers purchasing a brand-new policy after July 1 will not receive the same default coverage.

New policies will include only basic medical, rehabilitation, and attendant care benefits unless additional protections are selected.

That distinction matters.

Watch as Stephanie Coppens explains why renewing and starting a new policy could lead to very different coverage outcomes.

06/19/2026

For stay-at-home parents, a serious motor vehicle accident can affect far more than physical recovery.

When injuries interrupt caregiving responsibilities, prevent side income, or require outside support for day-to-day tasks, the financial and practical impact can be significant.

Benefits such as Income Replacement, Caregiver, and Non-Earner Benefits may provide important support in these situations.

However, beginning July 1, many of these protections will no longer be automatically included in standard auto insurance policies unless specifically selected.

Watch to learn why reviewing your coverage matters, especially for families who rely on caregiving and household support.

06/18/2026

Attendant Care Benefits help cover the cost of assistance with everyday activities after a serious motor vehicle accident.

This can include support with tasks such as bathing, dressing, eating, mobility, and other day-to-day personal care needs when injuries prevent someone from managing independently.

Unlike some other accident benefits changing in 2026, Attendant Care Benefits will remain part of standard accident benefits coverage.

However, many people are surprised to learn that the standard limits may not be sufficient in more serious injury cases.

Watch to learn what attendant care benefits cover, why they matter, and why standard coverage may not always be enough.

06/17/2026

For full-time caregivers, a serious motor vehicle accident can create challenges far beyond personal recovery.

When injuries prevent someone from caring for children or dependent family members, the need for outside support can create immediate and unexpected expenses.

The Caregiver Benefit is designed to help cover those costs, but beginning July 1, 2026, it will become an optional benefit rather than automatic coverage under many policies.

If this benefit is not selected in advance, it may not be available when needed most.

Watch to learn why Caregiver Benefits may be an important consideration for families during policy renewal.

06/16/2026

Income Replacement Benefits can provide ongoing financial support after a serious motor vehicle accident, but qualifying is not automatic.

Eligibility depends on several factors, including your employment status before the accident and whether your injuries prevent you from performing the essential duties of your job.

For those who qualify, benefits may continue long term, but the legal test to remain eligible becomes more stringent after the two-year mark.

Understanding how IRB works is an important part of knowing what support may be available during recovery.

Watch to learn more about IRB eligibility and what injured individuals should know.

Brain injuries are not always visible at the time of an incident.

Symptoms can develop gradually, affecting memory, concentration, and daily function over time.

What may seem minor initially can evolve into something more serious.

Recognizing this possibility is an important part of understanding injury risk.

At Lerners, we understand that not all injuries are immediately apparent.

Because what is not seen can still have a lasting impact.

06/15/2026

A catastrophic injury is the most serious classification of injury under Ontario’s Statutory Accident Benefits System.

This designation can apply to severe injuries such as spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, loss of vision, and certain significant psychological impairments.

It may also apply where multiple impairments combine to create a profound overall impact on a person’s functioning.

Why does this matter?

Because a catastrophic designation can significantly affect the level and duration of accident benefits available to an injured person.

Watch to learn why this classification can play such an important role in serious injury claims.
