Tips Tuesday: Dog Bite Safety Tips for Summer Walks
Spring is a great time to get outside, enjoy longer days, and take more walks through your neighbourhood, local parks, and trails. It is also a time when more dogs are outdoors, which can increase the risk of unexpected dog encounters. A few simple precautions can help keep you and your family safer during spring walks.
• When walking near dogs, avoid approaching a dog you do not know, even if it appears friendly.
• Parents should remind children not to run toward dogs, hug unfamiliar dogs, touch a dog while it is eating, or put their face close to a dog’s face.
• Children should also be taught to stay calm and still if an unfamiliar dog approaches them.
• If a dog appears aggressive or uncontrolled, avoid direct eye contact, do not run, and slowly create distance.
If you are bitten by a dog, contact JRJ LAW at 1 (844) DIAL JRJ for a free consultation.

Understanding Insurance Priority Claims in Ontario

When more than one insurance policy could respond to the same accident or loss, Ontario law sets out rules to determine which insurer pays first. These are called insurance priority claims, and they matter because they affect how quickly you get benefits, how much you receive, and which insurer ultimately bears the cost.

Read the JRJ LAW Blog to learn about a practical overview using real Ontario cases to show how courts resolve these disputes.

Income Replacement Benefits and Non Earner Benefits in Ontario

Motor vehicle accidents can disrupt every aspect of a person’s life—health, work, finances, and independence. Ontario’s Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS) provides two major forms of financial support when injuries prevent someone from working or functioning as they did before the accident: Income Replacement Benefits (IRBs) and Non Earner Benefits (NEBs).

Although these benefits appear straightforward, they are among the most litigated issues at the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT). Understanding how the LAT interprets eligibility, evidence, and functional impairment is essential for claimants, insurers, and legal professionals.

Read the JRJ LAW Blog for an analysis of IRBs and NEBs, supported by leading LAT decisions that clarify how the law is applied in real cases.

• Obey traffic signs and signals, and use proper hand signals when turning.
• Avoid distractions such as headphones or mobile phones while riding.
• Watch for opening car doors, turning vehicles, uneven pavement, and road debris.
• Ride predictably and remain alert at intersections and driveways.
• Ensure your bicycle brakes, tires, and lights are in proper working condition before riding.

TIP TUESDAY: Preventing Personal Injuries: 3 Things to Do Before Heading to the Cottage

Heading to the cottage should feel restorative, not risky. A few practical steps taken before you leave can meaningfully reduce injury risk.

Tip 1: Confirm Insurance Coverage
Review both auto and boat insurance policies. Confirm whether liability coverage exists, who is covered, and in what amounts. Insurance gaps can delay or limit support.

Tip 2: Plan for Documentation
Bring a phone charger, waterproof storage, and ensure someone knows how to document an incident if one occurs. Photos, timestamps, and early notes are often critical evidence, particularly in boating or slip and fall claims.

Tip 3: Prepare for Safety
The best personal injury incident is the one which was proactively avoided. Use common sense and be mindful of unsafe situations that might arise, and proactively take steps to institute safe measures. A small amount of preparation can go a long way toward protecting everyone’s safety and peace of mind.

Remember, water on water and beer on the pier. It’s more than just a slogan.

Jogging, Walking & Park Injuries: Who’s Responsible When You’re Hurt?

From a legal perspective, injuries occurring in parks or on walking paths are not always straightforward. Determining responsibility depends on a range of factors, including who controls the property, the condition of the area, and the steps taken to prevent foreseeable risks. Understanding how liability is assessed in these situations is important for anyone injured while using public or private outdoor spaces.

One of the most common causes of injury in these environments is poor maintenance.

Municipalities are typically responsible for the maintenance of public parks, sidewalks, and recreational pathways. However, that responsibility is not absolute.

In assessing liability, several factors are considered.

Springtime Strolls and Dog Bite Dangers: Legal Remedies for Victims in Ontario - A Familiar Walk, Suddenly Changed

Dog bite and dog attack cases in Ontario are governed primarily by the Dog Owners’ Liability Act, RSO 1990, c D.16. “The owner of a dog is liable for damages resulting from a bite or attack by the dog on another person or domestic animal.”

This means that the injured person does not have to prove that the dog owner acted carelessly. The law does not require proof that the dog was aggressive before, poorly trained, or inadequately restrained.

If a dog bites or attacks and causes damage, the owner is legally responsible.

Spring Showers and Hydroplaning

In Ontario during the spring snow and ice retreat unevenly, drainage systems struggle to keep up, and melting runoff pools across lanes. Hydroplaning is as dangerous as winter skidding, and sometimes more so because it arrives when drivers are least prepared for it.

Avoiding Hydroplaning Before It Starts
1. Tire condition is critical. Ensure the tires are not worn and are properly inflated.
2. Slow down during heavy rain. Avoid sudden movements.
3. Know where water accumulates.

Protecting Yourself From Other Drivers
Defensive spacing is critical. Leave extra room between vehicles. Avoid travelling alongside vehicles for extended periods during heavy rain. Position yourself where you have escape space, not boxed in lanes with little margin. Be especially cautious near large vehicles that throw heavy spray, which can hide standing water and reduce visibility without warning.
