In 2010, the Provincial Government increased the cap on insurance claims for minor injuries suffered in auto accidents to $7,500.00. This cap only applies to accidents on or after April 28, 2010, and is not retroactive. Minor injuries now include a strain, sprain, or whiplash-associated injury that leaves no long-term impairment or pain.
