Auto Reform effective July 1, 2026 - Myth Vs. Reality

With July 1, 2026 approaching, it’s important to separate fact from fiction:

Myth #1: Optional accident benefits will cover anyone injured in your car
Reality: Coverage will be limited to the named insured, spouse, dependents, and listed drivers on the auto policy.

Myth #2: Workplace or private health benefits will pay first after an automobile accident
Reality: Auto insurers will become the first payor for medical and rehabilitation expenses (excluding medication)

Myth #3: These changes only apply at renewal for all personal auto policies
Reality: The updates apply to all auto policies as of July 1, 2026, including commercial and fleet

If you’re unsure how these changes may impact you, connect with your broker to review your coverage ahead of July 1.

🔦 Advisor Spotlight 🔦

Meet Nicola D'Alessio, Partner, Commercial Insurance at Jones DesLauriers.
With over 15 years of experience, Nicola brings a strategic and entrepreneurial approach to the clients he supports. His background includes time on the insurer side, followed by co-founding Abatis Risk Management, which later partnered with Navacord and became the group’s first strategic platform in Québec, marking Navacord’s entry into the Québec market. Nicola now leads the Québec practice from a client and market perspective.

He specializes in complex risks across real estate, construction, infrastructure, industrial sectors, and specialty lines, and is known for connecting insurance strategy with broader business objectives. Nicola works closely with clients to structure solutions that support growth, capital alignment, and long-term resilience.

Outside of work, Nicola values time with his family above all else. In earlier years, he played competitive table tennis, spent four years living in Los Angeles, and had the opportunity to tour the world with his brother, a professional musician.

🚗 Big changes are coming to Ontario auto insurance.

Starting July 1, 2026, accident benefits are changing—giving drivers more choice, but also more responsibility.

- Some benefits become optional
- Who’s covered is changing
- Auto insurance becomes first payor for injuries
- Policies renew unless you make changes

Premium savings may be small—but coverage gaps can be costly.

At Jones DesLauriers, we’re helping clients understand their options so there are no surprises later.

Jones DesLauriers was pleased to participate in the BC Critical Minerals Forum in Vancouver on April 14–15. Our own Mauricio Vasquez, Mining & Energy Practice Leader; Lenders Insurance Advisory Lead and Kyle Johnson, Partner, Risk Management Leader, connected with mining companies, project developers, Indigenous partners, and capital providers to discuss the opportunities and challenges shaping the critical minerals sector.

Key discussions focused on:
• Project financing and bankability
• Permitting and regulatory timelines
• Indigenous partnerships and project certainty

A recurring theme throughout the forum was uncertainty, including around commodity markets, permitting, infrastructure, financing, and project ex*****on.

This is where our team can help. We support clients by reducing uncertainty, clarifying complex risks, improving financing readiness, and developing risk management and insurance solutions that contribute to stronger and more bankable projects.

We appreciate the opportunity to engage with industry leaders and look forward to continuing these important conversations.
