TTC Accidents

With the usage of different Toronto public transportations available, there is a rise in accident occurrences. Whether you are a pedestrian on the road, or you are commuters using the subway, streetcar, paratransit services, or buses, you have equal opportunity to make a claim following an accident involved with one of the above-mentioned modes of transportation.

If you are involved in an accident with the TTC, you are eligible for Accident Benefits, which may include:

  • Income Replacement Benefit
  • Medical and Rehabilitation Benefit
  • Attendant Care Benefit
  • Non-Earner Benefit

In addition to claiming different Accident Benefits, you may also be able to file a tort claim. Your tort claim will be filed against either the driver of the TTC who caused the accident, or it could be a third-party driver who contributed to the accident. Under either circumstance of the accident, a tort claim will allow you to seek compensation for any pain and suffering as a result of the driver’s negligence. This will allow you to seek compensation for economic losses and damages you suffer for the present and future.

Although most personal injury claims have a limitation period of two years, being in an accident involving the TTC changes things. In order to make a claim after being involved in a TTC accident, the limitation period changes to 10 days from the date of accident. Within 10 days following the accident, a written notice of claim must be written and submitted to the city in order to claim any damages.
