Canadian and U.S. courts often award damages that are much higher than $200,000. In fact, injury awards sometimes exceed $1 million. Without Extended Third-Party Legal Liability coverage, you are responsible for paying any amounts above the $200,000 covered by Basic Autoplan. Most motorists feel more comfortable extending their Third-Party Legal Liability coverage to $1 or $2 million.
All coverages are quoted in Canadian dollars. If you will be driving in the U.S., remember that any damages claimed against you there will be in U.S. dollars!
