If an accident happens because of your fault, it will protect you from possible claims. Here are some basic facts about auto insurance Ontario. Ontario requires some types of coverage. These mandatory types of coverage include third party liability, uninsured motorist coverage, direct compensation-property damage, and statutory accident benefits.
