Economical Mutual Insurance Company v. Caughy (2016) ONCA 226 – The insured was injured when he tripped over a parked motorcycle at a campsite. The incident caused serious spinal cord injuries. The insured sought accident benefits but was denied by the insurer on the basis that the incident did not meet the definition of “accident” under the section 3(1) of the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS). The issue on this appeal was whether the application judge erred in finding that the insured was involved in an accident. The appeal was dismissed.
