29 Quick Tips for Handling Your Own Newfoundland and Labrador Personal Injury Car Accident Settlement
1. Secure the correct identity of the person who hit you, as well as the proper name of the owner of the vehicle if owned by someone else.Tune in next day for the next "quick tip".
**This isn't legal advice. It's just fun information. In fact, trying to actually handle a case on your own is something like trying to take out your own appendix, or doing a root canal. It's possible, we suppose, but that's not what MOST sane people do. Obviously we can't put three years of law school and many years of experience on one little piece of paper, so take the above for what it's worth. We offer free books, and a ton of information throughout this website. Have a look around-but ... don't wait too long. Believe it or not, there are actually time limits on when you can begin your claim. Each case is different, so we can't list them here, but you get the drift.

FAQs
Auto Accidents and Car Wrecks
Does it matter that I didn't see the doctor right after my car accident?
- Do I have to use my own health insurance for my auto accident injuries? I've been injury in a motor vehicle accident and my doctor has referred me for therapy. I have private health coverage through work and I have Accident Benefits Coverage on my auto policy. My auto insurer is telling me I have to use my own private health coverage to pay for therapy costs prior to accessing my Accident Benefits Coverage. Why?
- I was injured in a car accident and my insurance company is telling me I have to use my personal insurance (e.g. Desjardins, Blue Cross, Manulife) to pay for my massage therapy, physiotherapy and prescription drugs before I can use either the accident benefit coverage (Section B) on my automobile policy, or the insurance of the guy who hit me. Is this right?
