Changes to auto insurance legislation in Bill 171 are beginning to get the discussion and attention in the legislature that Ontario’s MVA victims deserve after years of being maligned and labelled as ‘fraudsters’ by their insurance companies.
Ensuring that Ontario has a working insurance system that provides good coverage and an honest system of justice for accident victims is part of the bargain and the responsibility of the government. There is also a responsibility that accident victims are not harmed by the process itself by way of the lack of regulations and the harmful practices of some of Ontario’s medico-legal assessors during the course of a claim. We look forward to that issue becoming part of the debate. Media Release – BILL 171 – CHRISTMAS COMES EARLY FOR THE INSURANCE COMPANIES ACT April 16 2014
