Understanding what is considered an automobile for insurance purposes in different jurisdictions across Canada

Recorded October 28, 2015

The question of what is an automobile seems straight-forward to most, unless you are an insurer dealing with an unusual claim. In part II of our series on ‘what is a car?’ we look at how four provinces classify different modes of transportation.

In this interactive webinar, lawyers from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan and Alberta address:

• How each province defines an automobile
• The status of different vehicles including:
  • ATVs
  • Dirt bikes
  • Farm tractors
  • Modified skateboards
  • Back hoes
  • Golf carts
• The key court rulings that impact claims involving different modes of transportation

The webinar provides participants with an update on the most recent case law affecting the definition of an automobile and an understanding of the tests each region uses to determine when victims can make an auto insurance claim and apply for benefits.
