How You’re Victimized Twice When You’re in a Car Accident in Ontario
Every day, in the province of Ontario, hundreds of drivers are injured in car accidents. In many cases, these unfortunate individuals suffer serious losses that impair their ability to live a normal life or earn a living to support themselves and their families. Usually, the person driving the other vehicle which causes the accident does not intend to negatively impact anyone’s life, but the fact remains, through either negligence or misconduct such as drinking and driving or texting, they are victimizing the person that they hit. What many Ontarians, don’t realize, however, is that, in this province, you are actually victimized twice when you are in a car accident.
