I was hit by a van on my driver side. I was on Tecumseh Road east, Windsor, Ontario and about to turn left (on permitted left line), all of sudden van behind me tried to overtake and turn left. The van hit first driver side rear door of my van and then hit driver door of my van and dragged me about 15 feet away. after this traffic was blocked and we both moved our vans in the nearby parking lot to clear the back-up traffic. When the cops arrived, the other driver told the cops that I was making U turn and thats why he hit me. I told the officer that this is not true and I was turning left in the parking lot, when the other driver's van hit me. The cops gave us both the case numbers and advices to go collision reporting centre to record our statements. Cops said that now our insurance will decide that whose at fault. The damaged on my van (both left side doors total damaged)clearly shows that he hit me from side and dragged. the damage on his van is front right head light broken and front right side broken bumper. Any idea, what the insurance can do? We both have no witness. I was with my son in my van and the other driver was driving alone.

Were you charged with anything? If not, if you were turning left and the other driver attempted to pass you and nailed your car at an intersection, then he is 75% at fault for the collision and you are 25% at fault. This is under the Fault Determination Rules of Ontario, section 18 (5). If you were attempting to turn left into a private driveway or parking lot, then you are both 50% at fault. Here is the PDF link: http://www.ibc.ca/en/car_insurance/docu ... -rules.pdf

So did this collision happen in a parking lot or did it happen ON Tecumseh? Big difference between the two.

Can this effect my insurance policy? this could be my first 50/50 fault accident. I had accident three years ago and I was rear ended by other vehicle. that time other driver was charged with careless driving and it was his 100% fault. my insurance is 3rd party coverage and i have no collision coverage. with 50/50 fault, do I have to repair my car by myself or insurance will pay anything.? I am having severe pain and stiffness in my spine after the accident. Can I claim medical expenses from my auto insurance? since my auto policy is 3rd part coverage. I am very thankful for your king help.

With no collision coverage, you have to repair it yourself. As for claiming medical expenses, you'll have to talk to the insurance company. Without seeing the policy and what it offers, I really can't tell you much. They should offer something, but I can't say for sure if that's the case, or what they would offer. For 3rd party coverage, unless your name is on the insurance or it is a company vehicle, the rates probably won't be affected much but you should ask the insurance company.

Thanks for the informative reply. The car is under my wife's name. As for insurance, my wife is the primary policy holder and I am registered as secondary driver.

The rates will probably go up in that case, unfortunately. It sucks, given the move by the other motorist, however that's what the rules are. (I don't make the rules, I just shake my head at some of them.)

One more thing, if my wife claim medical benefits from her own auto insurance, does this will effect her policy or premium increase on the next renewal? She got severe injuries.

Hi I got letter from my insurance about the 100% at fault accident. Also received copy of police report which shows that my wife was making U turn, which is not true. Police report is not true because my wife told the officers that she was turning left. She was not charged or ticketed. What can we do now? Should we go to police and complain against the officers who came after the accident? My policy renewal is after two months and I am afraid my insurance premium will jump high!!!!

you put in your 1st post the other driver said that the vehicle was making a uturn and your vehicle turning left - contradiction of each other perception of what happened so officer probably didnt know which driver to believe, so doesnt issue a charge to either driver and then just lets the insurance company try to figure out who is at fault by the all the information provided by both drivers

I got ticket for failing to stop at stop sign in Toronto. i heard that the police officer must see the stop line, if there is one, from where he was sitting. That is exactly my case, Is it a strong case? If so do i need a picture to show that there is a stop line and a picture to show that he could not see the stop line from where he was sitting?
I got a ticket, Disobey stop sign, sec 136.1.a on dec 6th
I made a left in an intersection and was pulled over by a police officer in an unmarked car who had been sitting down the road. A classic fishing hole situation. I was genuinely surprised when he stopped me and told me I went through a stop sign without even slowing down. I know to shut up and be polite and take the ticket. I…
Yesterday morning, I rear-ended someone. I was going the speed limit. The sun was directly in front of me and it blinded my windshield and my eyes. At the same time, the person in front of me stopped/slowed down (also due to the sun). I started to slow down but didn't stop and I hit them since I couldn't see anything. I was not driving too close initially. I…
I was driving in the county at night and hit a limousine stretched out side ways across the road. The limo had its lights on and had side lighting as well. The police officer charged me with careless driving because it was "fully lit up".
It took me to the next day to figure out what had happened - what I remember made no sense. What I had run across was a "false visual reference" illusion.
I was on hwy 37 trying to make my girlfriends ganadmas mass and I live an hour away and I had an hour to get there so I was going fast but not 50 over untill some idiot got on my tail soo close that I was to concentrated on him that I kept going faster untill I got pulled over at 147 on an 80 km hwy.

Hello, got stopped today for rolling a stop sign. Ticket says failure to stop, but quotes hta 1361b.
Doesn't 1361b mean failure to yield?
Is this a fatal error? Or could it be amended at trial. How can I prepare a defence if I don't know if I'm defending the failure to stop or the failure to yield?
After he was providing me with a ticket for failure to obey to the stop sign (I am pretty sure I stopped but less than 3 seconds recommended by my driver ed. instructor), I know everybody say that..as an excuse.
Then he stopped me again to return the documents.
Any advice and feed back would be really appreciated.
Can you get evidence for whether someone had an advanced green at an intersection? My dad was making a right turn on a red (after stopping) into a plaza parking lot. He got hit by someone making a left turn from the opposite lane. The driver told the officer called to the collision that he had an advance green. My dad said he came out of nowhere which makes me…
So i was driving on Eglinton Avenue East near Rosemount Ave.
The school bus was on the the curb on the opposite side of the road while i was travelling on the middle lane of the three-laned Eglinton Avenue East (five lanes apart plus a raised median island seperating the traffic)
I could not see the school bus as my view of the bus was being obstructed by the cars in front of me and on my left hand…
Lots of good information on getting disclosure from the Crown here.
Now, I am just wondering if I will be relying upon evidence of my own at trial... do I have to voluntarily send this material to the Crown in a reasonable time before the trial, or only if they request disclosure from me?
This morning I had an exam for university. I was studying the entire night and i wanted to catch like maybe 1-2 hours of sleep before the exam so i went to sleep. I woke up like 5 hrs after and realize that I was about to miss my exam. I still could have made it so I asked my dad for his car since I was in a huge rush and he gave it to me.
I went on the highway and I was going at 135 km/h but…

Hi I have a couple questions so I'll explain my situation and any advice would be appreciated.
Can't remember exact date so lets call it some time in 2008 I got a fine for $5000.00 for driving without in insurance. I never paid the fine and in 2012 I was pulled over and the officer asked to see my license. Although I had it on me I figured it would be under suspension for the unpaid fine from…
Alright, so I did something really stupid the other day, I was driving down a country road and wanted to hit the curves so I passed 3 cars at once, inadvertently making it up to very much past 50 over (80 limit)... Much to my chagrin there was a cop coming in the opposite direction who immediately skidded on the gravel shoulder and who I thought was 100% going to turn around and pull me over,…
Anyone know how backed this courthouse is? I submitted my ticket for trial at the end of August, and still no letter. Im scared it got lost in the mail, can i call the courthouse and find out my courtdate? Or would i have to go in personally?
I recently received a ticket for failure to use low beams - while following - Ticket was issued Sec 168 (
- it was on the 401 and no one was within 500 meters of me, I was warning a oncoming vehicle that there was an officer hiding (which is not illegal or I could not find a law against it) it was a police vehicle travelling at very high rate of speed in the opposite direction with no lights on…
I received a warning letter from MTO for a 2pts ticket.What happened is that the police officer issued a "unsafe left turn" and then changed the ticket to "failed to signal" at the scene, but she submitted both tickets!!! And I !!!ONLY!!! received the latter ticket from her(I requested trial for "failed to signal"). I recently received notice from MTO that I'm convicted for "unsafe left turn".
Hello everyone! I was given a ticket for using a hand-held communication device while driving. It was 3 am, I was at a stop light and the cop saw me with the my phone in my hand. I told him i was just checking the time on it. I received the notes a few weeks ago ill copy them down below. Any help is appreciated although i believe there's no hope for me. The cop recorded me saying what phone i…
I got pulled over about 15 or so days ago the court till this date has not received the summons what is the legal time period that the court has to follow to accept the summons from the office court says its 15 days is the legal timeframe the officer has to serve it on the court
I requested for disclosure of information two months ago.
I received the radar manual after one month, but not others (including maintenance/calibration record of the radar, certificate of police training). On further pursuit, the prosecutor told me that he did not have them and he did not see why I needed these documents. He said he did not know where to get them when I asked.
Last Friday I was pulled over by an OPP motorcycle cop who informed me I was going 134. I was on the SB 404, I did see him parked under a bridge and when I passed him he was not on his bike.
I'm hoping to get some insight for a defense in this case.
I was in lane 1 and I had a car in front of me, and a car behind me, also there was a car speeding down Lane 3 passing everyone and moved quickly into…
