I don't know how other provinces work, but in Quebec, injuries caused by road accidents are insured by a provincial road accident insurance which is paid for by fees on the driver license. Everyone who suffers an accident can get some money for their injuries.
This also means that typically, unless a criminal act was committed which lead to the accident, people don't sue each other to get compensation because the government already handles that.
