Nova Scotia MVA Companion Guide

Nova Scotia lets you claim against the at-fault driver, yet a rule called the Minor Injury Cap can quietly limit what you recover. Injuries labelled minor face a fixed cap on pain and suffering, and whether yours counts as minor often turns on how well its effect on your daily life is recorded from the start. This Companion Guide walks you through your Section B accident benefits, the Minor Injury Cap and what can move an injury beyond it, the reporting steps after a collision, and the claim clocks that begin the day it happens.

Inside you will find plain guidance on the system here, fillable worksheets to document the accident and your recovery, a daily journal, and trackers for medical care, expenses, and insurer conversations. It is built to sit beside the National MVA Recovery Workbook and adds what is specific to Nova Scotia. This is a fillable PDF you can type into on any device or print at home.
