Fredericton Section B Benefit Lawyer
Anyone who owns or operates a motor vehicle in the province is required to carry mandatory insurance. Standard Owner’s Policies provide coverage for a range of benefits, including Section B benefits. In the event of a serious car accident, Section B benefits provide financial compensation to injured parties for costs arising from their injuries.
Also referred to as no-fault benefits, Section B benefits may be available to any injured driver involved in a collision, regardless of which driver was responsible for causing the accident. Even if a mistake you made behind the wheel contributed to the circumstances that led to your crash, if you sustained injuries in your accident, you may still be entitled to Section B benefits. Eligible drivers may be able to recover up to $50,000 in compensation for damages arising from their injuries over the course of four years following their collision.
Section B benefits cover damages related to injuries sustained in an automobile collision. Some examples of damages that may be covered by Section B benefits include:
- 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
Additionally, depending on the circumstances of your accident, Section B benefits may provide payments for other damages, 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.
Surviving a traumatic car accident can be a life-changing experience. Sometimes, coping with newly acquired physical challenges, emotional stress, and financial anxieties can feel impossible. For those Fredericton drivers whose quality of life has been significantly impacted by a car accident, Section B benefits can provide a much-needed source of financial stability during an extremely difficult time.
Unfortunately, for a number of different reasons, insurance providers may decide to deny a policyholder’s claim for Section B benefits. Receiving a denied claim can be troublesome, especially if the financial losses you have incurred as a result of your injuries make it difficult for you to make ends meet.
If you believe the injuries you sustained in a motor vehicle collision should entitle you to receive Section B benefit payments but your claim has been denied by your insurer, consider scheduling a free initial consultation with our Section B benefit lawyers serving Fredericton.
