Insurers are reporting record profits, but they still want more.

NS insurers have lobbied the Government to reduce your insurance coverage to increase their profits.

Auto insurers make record profits

Stop the Government from reducing your insurance benefits.

Be a check and balance against the insurance lobby.

You deserve to be treated fairly by your insurance company. Here’s what you can do to try to stop the Government from watering down your benefits to increase insurance company profits.

Know the facts

Be informed about the proposed changes to auto insurance and what they really mean to the insurance industry (more $$), Nova Scotian drivers (less benefits) and accident victims (less help).

Contact decision makers in Government

Tell them these proposed changes are not necessary, that the insurance companies are profitable, and there is no reason to reduce benefits.
