Truro Section B Benefit Lawyer
In a flash, car accidents can completely disrupt the course of a person’s life. Nobody expects to be involved in a serious collision, and few people plan for the financial obligations that come with sustaining severe injuries as a result.
Recovering from serious injuries sustained in car accidents can be a long, challenging, and expensive process. With mounting medical bills and newly acquired costs arising from unexpected injuries, car accident survivors often find themselves struggling to stay afloat, financially.
Luckily, all standard automobile insurance policies in the province include Section B benefits. Designed to provide injured accident survivors with compensation for injury-related expenses, Section B benefits can be extremely beneficial to injured car crash victims who are unable to afford their newly acquired costs.
Also referred to as no-fault accident benefits, anyone who has been injured as the result of a motor vehicle collision may be able to claim this useful coverage, regardless of their level of culpability for the accident. That means, if you were injured in a vehicular collision, even if you were partially responsible for causing the accident, you still may be eligible for Section B benefits.
Since all drivers in the province are required to carry mandatory insurance, those who sustain injuries in a collision may be entitled to receive up to $50,000 in accident benefits for up to four years following their crash. Section B benefits are often made available to injured accident survivors to offset the costs of numerous injury-related expenses, including:
- Medical expenses
- Ambulance bills
- Medical equipment
- Prescriptions
- Mobility aids
- Physiotherapy
- Chiropractic sessions
- Massage therapy
- Strength-training exercise programs
- Psychological counselling
- Home modifications to accommodate acquired disabilities
- Mileage expenses for trips to and from medical appointments
- And possibly more
Furthermore, depending on the circumstances of the collision and its effects on an injured survivor’s life, insurance policies could provide additional coverage, including:
- Weekly Indemnity Benefits: Income replacement payments of up to $250/week for 2 years issued to accident survivors who cannot work because of their injuries.
- Housekeeping expenses: $100 per week for 52 weeks to retain the services of a housekeeper if the injured accident victim cannot maintain their residence as a result of their injuries.
- Death Benefits: For accidents ending in fatalities, $2,500 in funeral expenses, $25,000 in death benefits for the head of household or their spouse, and $5,000 in death benefits for dependents.
Section B benefits can be an important source of income for people in desperate need of assistance. Unfortunately, insurers do not always approve their policyholders’ claims for Section B benefits, even when they have incurred substantial financial losses as a result of a car accident.
