strategy for controlling accident benefit costs: introduce minor injury guidelines with compensation cap of $3,500
Is this cap for compensation for pain and suffering? the cap of 5000 in AB for minor injury is strictly applying to the pain and suffering part?
Comments
No its the cap for minor injuries (sprains, whiplashes, etc.) You may be getting confused with the cap on non-pecuniary damages
can you please clarify what's the situation for **caps **(either for minor injury or for non-pecuniary loss) in both ON and AB provinces?
AB: 4000 cap for non-pecuniary loss related to minor injury
ON: try to introduce a cap of 3500 for minor injury (the actual loss compensation not related to general damage)
In both provinces(and in Canada): 100k cap for non-pecuniary loss
Thank you!!
Cap for non-pecuniary losses in general is 100,000
AB: 5500 cap for minor injuries (2022) It used to be 4000
ON: 3500 cap for minor injuries
The AB and ON caps have nothing to do with the cap on non-pecuniary losses. (Different papers)
Hi @Staff-T1 , I am still confused by the answer provided in this battle card regarding issues in Morrow v Zhang case:
If the Alberta 4k cap is only for the minor injury (not for the non-pecuniary damage), why would it be discriminatory towards the minor injury victims?
Thanks!
Cap is indeed for non-pecuniary damages, here's the intro to the source text
Yeap I was mistaken AnLaPe is correct! It's only ON where the minor injury cap is for medical and rehab
thank you very much to both!! @AnLaPe @Staff-T1
