Manitoba is a beautiful Canadian province that borders the US states of Minnesota and North Dakota. It is commonly referred to as the “polar bear capital of the world”.
While tourists from around the globe visit Manitoba for these pleasures, Manitobans themselves often migrate south for some much-needed winter sun.
Snowbirds who reside in Manitoba but vacation in the US may find themselves in need of legal services while down there. The unfortunate reality is that car accidents and other serious personal injury accidents happen every day. Since many Canadian – Manitoba residents opt to drive to their winter retreat, driving long hours through unfamiliar locations increases one’s risk of misfortune. If the fun comes undone due to catastrophic or serious personal injury, Snowbird Accidents is here for you.
Importantly, you should know that Manitoba is a pure no-fault province, much like Quebec and British Columbia. Simply put, if you are involved in a car accident, you are not allowed to sue for pain and suffering and any financial losses in the said province Your rights and remedies lie with the provincial reimbursement scheme.
If a Manitoba resident is involved in an accident outside of their province, they have the right to sue (or be sued) for any injuries of financial losses.
Manitoba car insurance policies consider the chance of an accident happening outside of the province. The legislature also considers the fact that US state car accident insurance schemes have much lower financial requirements. Therefore, Manitoba residents need to make sure they purchase underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage options. Residents should check with their brokers and top up all their insurance benefits. You need to make sure you have the best car insurance you can afford. Never forget to purchase a private travel medical insurance policy.
