How long after an accident can I file a claim?

According to Newfoundland and Labrador law, you have two years after an accident to file a claim for compensation. Changes made in 2020 to the Automobile Insurance Act require legal notice of intention to make a claim be provided within just 120 days of an automobile accident. Failing to do so may impact your compensation amount.

It is always in your best interest to keep detailed notes and to collect records and receipts from the moment you are injured – regardless of when you plan to pursue legal action. The more evidence you have showing the injury’s financial impact on your life, the stronger your case will be.

How to Seek Compensation

After suffering a broken bone or fracture injury, you should first seek insurance coverage. If you suffered your bone injury in a car or pedestrian accident, you may claim compensation under the other party’s automobile insurance policy or even your own policy’s Section B coverages. Section B coverages apply, regardless of your fault in an accident.

If you believe someone caused the accident through reckless behaviour or negligence, you may be able to sue for compensation. You must be able to demonstrate the injury’s financial impact on your life for things like medical care, mobility equipment, childcare, transportation, lost income, and more. Pain and suffering may also be pursued, depending on the circumstance.
