Group Wants Cap On Minor Accidents Reviewed

A citizens group wants the province's $2,500 cap on insurance awards for those who suffer minor injuries in automobile accidents reviewed.
Hampton resident Frances McConnachie of Consumers for Insurance Fairness says she received $2,500 following an accident in 2004.

She tells CHSJ News the cap punishes good drivers and their passengers while protecting bad drivers.
McConnachie says $2500 for a lifetime of pain and suffering is truly unfair.
She adds since the cap was adopted, insurance companies are enjoying skyrocketing profits.
