Since the advent of No-fault insurance in Saskatchewan in 1995, the system for compensating injured parties was dealt with primarily by SGI adjusters. In recent years, many injured Saskatchewan motorists have demanded a process by which an SGI adjusters' sometimes seemingly arbitrary decisions could be tested in a judicial or quasi-judicial setting.


The Automobile Injury Appeal Commision was designed specifically to adress those concerns. With this new form of recourse for Saskatchewan Motorists, Saskatchewan's "no-fault" system is being increasingly scrutinized by the watchful eye of the Courts.

If you do not agree with an SGI adjustor's decision, or are afraid of any future decision they may make about your health, there is something you can do about it.


If you have elected Tort insurance using SGI's Tort Declaration Form, you have retained your right to sue an at fault driver for the pain and suffering caused by the accident and for complete compensation to any loss you may have suffered, with certain exceptions.

As well, you are still entitled to certain no-fault like automatic benefits under tort, although they are limited in comparison to no-fault.

Jonathan S. Abrametz can assist you in understanding the litigation process and pursue your claim, ensuring you get the compensation that you deserve.

 

If you have not elected Tort insurance with SGI's Tort Declaration Form you, like the majority of Saskatchewan's insured have No-Fault insurance.

In simple terms, your No-Fault designation means that if you are injured in a motor vehicle accident, you cannot sue a negligent driver (and their insurance company) for the pain and suffering you experience, with certain exceptions.

However there are alternate forms of compensation that may be available to you. Jonathan S. Abrametz can assist you in navigating through the no-fault system, and assist you with answers to questions and possible legal issues arising from the compensation under this system.
