Changes to Ontario’s auto insurance rules could have major financial consequences for those involved in serious accidents, says Ottawa personal injury lawyer Najma Rashid.

The core changes include the amount of funding available for accident victims, as well as how “catastrophic impairment” is defined, says Rashid, partner with Howard Yegendorf & Associates LLP. The funding has been drastically diminished, and the test for meeting the Catastrophic definition is now higher, meaning that basic auto insurance may not cover all the medical needs that are required, she says.
