Who is covered under Section D and Section 5 insurance?

Your access to benefits in the case of hit-and-run or uninsured driver accident claims can come from many sources, including:

• Your own insurance
• Your spouse’s insurance
• Your parents’ insurance (if you reside with and are dependent on them)
• Your employer’s insurance (if your employer provides regular use of a vehicle)
• Your spouse’s employer’s insurance (if that employer provides regular use of a vehicle)
• The insurance for the negligent or at-fault driver that caused the accident

The best way for us to assess your rights to insurance is for us to give you a free case review. We offer our services on a no-cost, no-obligation basis: even after we take your case, you owe us nothing until we secure compensation for your accident claim. You risk nothing by meeting with us to learn about your legal options.

If you are not covered by an automobile insurance policy and are injured by an uninsured or unidentified driver, you can turn to the Facility Association (Atlantic provinces) or Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund (MVACF) (Ontario) to recover damages. These programs are a last resort means of providing compensation to those who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. For example, if you were injured by an uninsured driver as a pedestrian, cyclist, or passenger in a vehicle, and you were not covered by a motor vehicle insurance policy, then you could make a claim under the Facility Association or MVACF.
