Recent car accidents reveal teaching points
Traffic accidents over the late June holiday weekend illustrate some principles about who can recover compensation for traffic accident injuries, and whether it is worthwhile to attempt to recover compensation.
In a single vehicle accident on the Trans Canada Highway 30 kilometers south of St. John’s, the passenger was killed and the driver went to hospital with serious injuries. News reports state that the deceased passenger was Tyler Bradbury, age 18.
For a single vehicle accident to occur with such devastating consequences, certainly suggests negligence on the part of the driver. However, under the laws of Newfoundland and Labrador as they presently exist, and assuming Mr. Bradbury had no dependents, the damages obtainable by him would be very low. This situation is contrary to civilized norms of fair compensation, and it is something that I am planning to challenge this year before the Supreme Court in the context of the Breast Cancer Testing Class Action. Fatal accident claimants may wish to stay tuned and see whether the law is changed in their favor.
In an accident near Flatrock on June 22, two cars collided head on at a sharp turn at around 8 AM. Three people were taken to hospital.
In this situation, somebody was negligent, and perhaps the negligence is shared between both drivers. News reports suggest that the passenger of one car was treated in hospital for injuries including broken bones. Ordinarily, the passenger would not be considered negligent and would have a claim for the full value of his or her injuries, whether against the driver of the car in which he or she was a passenger, or against the driver of the other striking vehicle.
The news services took extensive video footage of the accident scene, which is available on this website: http://www.cbc.ca/nl/media/video.html. It is always a good idea to have pictures or video of an accident scene, and we give some tips for how to do this on this website at the following link: http://www.chescrosbie.com/faq-detail.cfm?id=2507.
The teaching point here is that consumers who are involved in accidents need to know their rights. The laws regarding compensation are not set in stone, and may be subject to change. Consumers should consult a lawyer who is experienced in these complicated laws.

FAQs
Auto Accidents and Car Wrecks
- 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?
- What if an insurance adjuster offers me a settlement?
- Should I talk with the insurance company representative? Should I give a statement to the other insurance company?



For example, life insurance companies may require higher premiums or deny coverage altogether to people who work in hazardous occupations or engage in dangerous sports. Liability insurance providers do not provide coverage for liability arising from intentional torts committed by the insured. Even if a provider were so irrational as to want to provide such coverage, it is against the public policy of most countries to allow such insurance to exist, and thus it is usually illegal
