Whole Person Injury

Question: How is a whole person injury used to decide catastrophic impairment for Ontario accident benefits?

Answer: PKM Legal Services can help you understand what a “whole person injury” means when assessing whether you meet Ontario’s catastrophic impairment threshold for statutory accident benefits, which focuses on how the impairment affects your overall person rather than only a single body part.  In practice, the determination turns on medical evidence and functional loss, and the question is whether the injury results in a level of serious, ongoing impairment that qualifies under the accident benefits catastrophic impairment definition.  If you want to review your medical reports and the documentation needed for the impairment assessment and next steps, call (519) 410-5250 to speak with a paralegal in Ontario.
