About personal injury law in Manitoba

Car crashes, slips and falls, disability claims and medical malpractice. In Manitoba, injuries from automobile accidents are covered by Manitoba Public Insurance's Personal Injury Protection Plan, which pays compensation whoever was at fault and removes the right to sue for those injuries. Lawvoo only lists firms for this area — contact a firm directly.

Common questions about personal injury lawyers in Winnipeg

Can I sue after a car crash in Manitoba?

Not for your injuries. Manitoba Public Insurance's Personal Injury Protection Plan compensates everyone injured in an automobile accident, whoever was at fault, and eliminates lawsuits for injuries to people. Lawsuits for property damage can still happen, and you can be sued for injuries from an accident outside Manitoba.

How long do I have to start an injury claim in Manitoba?

Under The Limitations Act a claim must be started within two years of the day it is discovered, and no more than 15 years after the act or omission it is based on. Claims for benefits from Manitoba Public Insurance have their own rules. A lawyer can confirm the dates that apply to you.

Where are injury claims decided in Manitoba?

Small Claims Court, which is part of the Court of King's Bench, hears claims up to $20,000 and can award general damages of up to $2,000. Larger claims go to the Court of King's Bench.

Why can't I send a personal injury enquiry through Lawvoo?

Lawvoo only lists firms for personal injury in Canada. Contact any firm directly through its own website — and check the lawyer in the provincial law society's directory first.
