License Appeal Tribunal? Safety Licensing Appeals and Standards Tribunal Ontario? Automobile Accident Benefit Service? I’m confused!
Car accident law should not be rocket science. In its purest sense, an innocent accident victim is seriously injured by another party who made a mistake or driving error. Rarely is there deliberate intent on the at fault party to cause a serious accident (save for drunk driving cases).

The at fault party should be responsible to compensate the injured party for the losses and pain and suffering. This sounds easy enough.
