Whole Person Injury

Question: How is a whole person injury meant to be determined when deciding if someone has a catastrophic impairment under Ontario accident benefits?

Answer: Mole Legal Services explains that a “whole person injury” is a functional impairment assessment used to translate medical limitations into an overall impact on the injured person’s ability to live day-to-day; rather than focusing only on one body part, the assessment considers how the injuries affect multiple areas of function and is then applied to determine whether the threshold for “catastrophic impairment” is met for statutory accident benefits limits under Ontario’s system.  In practice, Mole Legal Services helps injured people and families gather the right medical documentation, ensure the assessment is properly framed, and guide next steps for accident benefit claims and related property management needs in Ontario.  If you need help understanding whether your situation may qualify, call (647) 709-5157 to book a free 1/4 hour consultation.
