Saint John’s automobile insurance lawyers
Navigating your insurance claim can be overwhelming, especially if a traffic accident has left you injured and unable to work. New Brunswick’s standard insurance policy enables you to get prompt financial support for your immediate expenses, such as medical care and income benefits. If you’ve been injured—whether minor or severe—it may be in your best interest to seek compensation from the at-fault party.
In your time of need, Correia & Collins accident lawyers can help you navigate the insurance claim process and advise on your best course of action.
No-fault insurance benefits: what you need to know
New Brunswick insurance laws allow for people involved in a vehicle accident to be covered by their own insurance for some expenses, irrespective of who is at fault. If you have New Brunswick car insurance, the following benefits are included in your coverage:
- Section B. Under Section B of your insurance policy, you can receive benefits to pay for medical expenses, as well as lost wages or housekeeping costs. Section B also allows for funeral expenses.
- DCPD. Direct compensation property damage (DCPD) insurance provides for expenses related to repairing or replacing your damaged vehicle after an accident. Your coverage will depend on the circumstances of the accident.
In some cases, suing the at-fault party for compensation might be your best strategy. In most cases, you have two years after an accident to initiate legal proceedings. Correia & Collins can help you evaluate your options.
