DRIVING DISPUTES

Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) has reportedly countered the findings of a study shared by Preszler Injury Lawyers that originally stated that Manitoba recorded 85.4 percent more driving injuries than the national average. Using data from Transport Canada’s National Collision Databases, the study originally attributed the record number of injuries in the province to severe weather conditions as well as insufficient road safety measures. MPI spokesperson Tara Seel claimed the study overlooked Manitoba’s unique reporting methodology compared to other provinces: because the province is structured as a public insurer, Manitoba reports more injury and collision data than other provinces.
