Accident Victims Says Soft Injury Cap Needs to Go

The group Consumers For Insurance Fairness is calling on the public to attend a series of public hearings being held by the province on the 25-hundred minor injury cap for auto insurance.

Spokesperson Denise Guitard suffered whiplash and herniated discs when she was rear-ended by a distracted driver in 2006.

She tells CHSJ News the current 25-hundred dollar cap needs to be eliminated or a new system needs to be implemented.  She says Newfoundland has a reasonable model where you pay a 75-hundred dollar deductible and everything else is covered.

The Saint John meeting will take place on Tuesday June 28 at the Hazen Hall Lecture Theatre at UNB Saint John.
