Traffic on the Consumers for Insurance Fairness website increasing 400 per cent since their public campaign began earlier this month.
They want to province to scrap the $2500 cap on insurance payouts for minor injuries.


Spokesperson Frances McConnachie tells CHSJ News the claim of the Insurance Bureau of Canada that victims of minor accidents are eligible for additional $50,000 in benefits is subjective.
