An Orillia woman who was in a car crash seven years ago that left her in a coma worries changes to the auto-insurance industry will have devastating effects.
Tammy Kirkwood said the province’s plan to reduce auto-insurance benefits that was passed as part of the budget earlier this year will severely hurt crash victims requiring extensive care.
“These benefits should not be called benefits; they are resources and necessary to regain your whole person and get on track,” she said.
“We are mandated to purchase auto insurance to drive a car, yet there is nothing in place to mandate the insurers to uphold the policy we have to purchase.”
