AUTO INSURANCE STUDY REVEALS OVERSPENDING BY $5 BILLION
According to a new report drivers in Ontario have overpaid by approximately 5 billion dollars on auto insurance over the past five years. The report, commissioned by the Ontario Trial Lawyers’ Association suggests insurance companies might have made about 5 billion in pre-tax income between 2011 and 2016. Given the levels of excessive profitability, motorists almost certainly paid too much for coverage with estimates of the over payments amounting to about 143 dollars per policy, per year.

Who Pays for Health Care: Injuries from Motor Vehicle Accidents
When a person is injured in a motor vehicle accident, the Statutory Accident Benefit Schedule requires the automobile insurer to pay for non-professional health care services (such as personal support and homemaking services, attendant care services, and community support services). These services may be provided at home or in community settings such as supportive housing units, long-term care homes and complex continuing care hospitals.
