No one ever thinks about getting hurt, whether in a vehicle crash or falling on someone's property. But life happens and so do personal injuries. There are injuries for which victims can pursue accident compensation in Canada. Those injured due to the negligence of other parties have every right to be compensated financially, especially if the injuries cause a loss of income. These injuries aren't just relegated to physical ones, but can also include emotional trauma or diseases as well.
Mississauga real estate prices take a tumble
The average price for a home in Mississauga has fallen more than $167,000 in less than a year.

Tougher laws on the horizon for Ontario distracted drivers
Soon drivers will have to be even more mindful of what they do behind the wheel of a vehicle. Distracted drivers in Ontario will have to curtail their bad habits behind the wheel if they don't want to be saddled with a maximum fine of up to $2,000 -- up from $1,000 for a first conviction.
