Nova Scotia Northern Companion Guide: After a Crash

Sydney to Halifax is around four and a half hours, and from Cheticamp it's longer again. Most specialist care in this province happens in one city.

Those trips belong in your claim. Nobody hands you a form for them, though, so people end up totalling months of driving from memory and whatever receipts survived the truck. This is where you write it down while it's still fresh.

What's inside?

• Which door to knock on first in Nova Scotia, and in what order. Section B travel reimbursement through your own insurer, then Hope Air for the trips no road covers
• A travel log with room for the distance, whether someone had to come with you, and whether you stayed the night
• A costs and receipts page that adds up what getting to your own care has cost you
• A call log for every conversation with your insurer, and a follow-up template so you can put it in writing afterward
• A daily recovery record, and a weekly check on what you can and can't do yet

How does it fit with your other guides?

Your National MVA Recovery Guide is where the day to day lives: symptoms, appointments, calls, costs. Your Nova Scotia MVA Companion Guide carries the deadlines, the forms and the appeal routes for this province. This one covers the travel, which when you live far from the city tends to be the part that wears people down.
