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?
