In recent years, the Ontario legislature has slowly eroded accident victims’ access to Attendant Care benefits available under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS). Since 2010, an accident victim must either hire a professional caregiver or prove that his/her attendant has incurred an economic loss – such as lost income – while providing attendant care. Both requirements are fraught with complications. When attendant care in the form of supervision, emotional support, and intermittent assistance is required, it is difficult to hire a professional specifically for that purpose. Furthermore, family members who fill this role may find it difficult to prove a concrete economic loss.
