Ontario Wrongful Death Laws
In order to produce a wrongful death claim in Ontario, it is necessary to provide proof that the death was due to the negligence of another party, or deliberate, and not caused in any way by the individual themselves and has caused measurable damages to the surviving parties.
For a fatal injury or wrongful death claim in Ontario, claims for loss of care, guidance, and companionship that they had expected to receive from the deceased can be brought about by parents, grandparents, children, or spouses (including common law spouses).
