John McKiggan has dedicated the past 20 years to providing peace of mind to persons who have suffered serious injuries by helping them get closure, accountability and fair compensation for their injuries. John’s efforts have been recognized by his fellow trial lawyers who elected him president of the Atlantic Provinces Trial Lawyers Association. While you may not need a lawyer for every claim, there is certain important information that every car accident victim needs to know in order to ensure you are treated fairly and receive all the benefits you are entitled to from the insurance companies involved in your accident claim. This book is written in plain English to educate people who have been injured in a car accident in Nova Scotia, and their families, about their legal rights.
