The government promised Albertans would save $400 through no-fault. They’ve admitted that won’t happen.

This is what Alberta’s no-fault plan really means: $13,000 for losing a baby.

⚠️ BREAKING: Alberta has released new regulations for its no-fault insurance plan.

The details are alarming.

The government’s draft rules include a “meat chart” that puts a price tag on Albertans’ bodies.

Read what it says below 👇

[FAIR Alberta @FairAlberta]

Under the proposed rules:

A pregnant woman who loses her baby in a crash would get $13,000.

A young journeyman mechanic who loses part of his hand and his trade would get $41,000.

That’s what the Alberta government’s “meat chart” says these tragedies are worth.

As the Alberta government plans to introduce no-fault auto insurance in our province, here is another example from our neighbours in British Columbia of how no-fault legislation can produce terrible outcomes for completely innocent victims. https://t.co/G0FGjn3nxi

Alberta's proposed No-Fault auto insurance plan is a lose-lose scenario for Alberta drivers.

No surprises here. While Albertans now pay the highest insurance rates in Canada, auto insurance companies have also been raking in record profits of over $2.1 billion in pre-tax profits over 2020 and 2021.

Albertans have seen big increases to auto insurance bills since 2018. These increases have been a strain on Albertans who continue to deal with the affordability crisis. Next election, we'll be paying close attention to how parties will protect affordability & civil rights.

FAIR supporter Michelle G. was injured in a car crash. 15 years later, she's still dealing with the aftermath of the accident: chronic pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and migraines while the bad driver's insurance company proposed a ridiculous settlement.

Four people were struck by an "impatient" driver during a reconciliation walk in B.C. earlier this month. The worst part? Under a no-fault system, victims cannot sue without a criminal conviction. https://t.co/EIucAxEJnh

It’s the first day of summer! As you gear up for all the fun trips and activities you can do in the warm weather, make sure that your automobile insurance is prepared to keep you safe before you hit the road.

[FAIR Alberta @FairAlberta]

More BC horror stories about no-fault insurance. Last year, an innocent woman is struck by a driver. Her injuries prevented her from teaching fitness classes & re-opening her daycare.

No-Fault insurance in any galaxy is bad for motor vehicle owners. Whether you're a motorcyclist on earth, or a podracer on Batuu. May the fourth be with you. #maytheforth #StarWars #nofault

[FAIR Alberta @FairAlberta]

We’ve heard a lot of concerns from Alberta’s motorcycle community about no-fault insurance and for good reason – no-fault is a raw deal for bikers.

No-fault would mean higher premiums and reduced insurance coverage for motorcyclists.

Read why here: https://t.co/8esNvmlH5L

[FAIR Alberta @FairAlberta]

There should be no more premium increases until there is some balance restored between what insurer costs are and what consumers are paying.

[FAIR Alberta @FairAlberta]

There is a big disconnect between premiums and insurer costs. The insurance industry is making billions in profits & consumers are left without relief.

Another cautionary tale from BC's no-fault auto insurance system. A cyclist was hit by a driver who ran a stop sign, thrown 45 feet and injured, but he was sent a bill from ICBC.

This is another harsh example why no-fault is not right for Alberta. https://t.co/CGKu3mqdxY

[FAIR Alberta @FairAlberta]

This all means higher claims costs and premiums for Alberta’s bikers in a no-fault system. That’s not fair.

[FAIR Alberta @FairAlberta]

It’s the first day of spring and that means Alberta bikers are gearing up to get back on the open road.

FAIR Alberta has heard concerns from the biker community about no-fault insurance and for good reason – no-fault is not fair for bikers.

[FAIR Alberta @FairAlberta]

If you are on a bike & get hit by a truck resulting in damage to you or your bike, your insurance co. would have to cover the costs of your claim. This is true even if the accident was the other driver’s fault. Their insurance co. only covers the cost for their claim - not yours.
