Minor Injury Cap, Section B, Jury Option and Limitation Period in Nova Scotia
The Insurance Act caps pain and suffering damages for a minor injury, and the figure moves each year with indexing. Whether your injury is minor under the Automobile Accident Minor Injury Regulations is the first fight in most car accident claims, and the insurer starts from the position that it is.
Every Nova Scotia auto policy carries Section B accident benefits. They pay for treatment and part of your lost wages whether or not the crash was your fault, so treatment starts before anyone has admitted anything.
Either side can ask for a civil jury in a Nova Scotia personal injury action. A jury changes how the evidence is prepared and what the case is likely to settle for. So the decision to ask for a jury or oppose one is made early.
The Limitation of Actions Act gives two years from discovery, and the clock does not run while the claimant is a minor. The post on the minor injury cap in Nova Scotia explains how the cap is applied.
