Is there a Cap on damage awards for
injuries?
In Nova Scotia, there is a Cap on
damages that can be received for minor injuries suffered in
automobile accidents. The limit for these injuries is $2,500 and
what qualifies as a minor injury is amazingly broad.
The good news is is that this Cap is currently under challenge by
the Atlantic Provinces Trial Lawyers Association on constitutional
grounds. If the Cap is struck down as unconstitutional, we expect
that all claims will be settled on the basis of the system prior to
the Cap and be compensated fairly.
If you have been injured in an automobile accident, you should seek
a Lawyers advice immediately with respect to the Cap and how to
proceed in your matter.
