If you lost a loved one as a result of a tragic car accident, then Rudder Law Group can help you and your family gain access to the necessary multidisciplinary treatment, care services, and support you need to recover following your mourning period. Rudder Law Group will also obtain compensation for your loss of guidance, care and companionship in what is known as a Family Law Act claim. The Supreme Court of Canada affirmed in 1967 that damages can be awarded in Canada for the loss of guidance, care and comfort provided by a loved one. The statutory scheme permitting recovery for damages for the loss of guidance, care and companionship became part of the law of Ontario in 1978 with the introduction of the Family Law Reform Act, 1978, S.O. 1978, c. 2. Section 60(2) of the Family Law Reform Act (now known as the Family Law Act, s. 61(2)(e)) provided that damages recoverable in a fatal accident claim "may include" damages for the loss of guidance, care and companionship.
