    Cadieux v Cloutier: Transferrable Costs: Your SAB Costs can be recovered via your Tort Claim

    If you are unfortunate enough to be injured in a car accident, you may find yourself fighting for Statutory Accident Benefits (SABs) while you are also pursuing tort litigation. If this is the case, it is important to know that any SABs you receive from your insurer can be deducted from your tort award. For example, this means that any income replacement benefits you receive can be deducted from the loss of income portion of your tort award. While this may seem frustrating, the courts wish to ensure that plaintiffs are not being compensated twice for the same loss.

You want to bet big and win as much as you can but you’re worried that, as unlikely as it may be, that your opponent somehow has a better hand. So, what do you do? Well, the question would be made much simpler if only you had insurance that would protect you if you lost. In the world of litigation, there exists a form of insurance that does protect you in the very kind of situation described above.
