Are all personal injuries subject to the same rules and processes?

No. This is where it starts to get complicated. For example, if you are injured in a motor vehicle accident, there are very particular rules and processes that apply. They are discussed elsewhere in this brochure under a separate heading.

Even in the case of motor vehicle accidents, there are special situations that are confusing. For example, if you are injured in a motor vehicle accident, if you are a driver in the course of your employment duties, you may have to seek recovery through the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, rather than through the "normal" process described here. An early determination of these jurisdiction and forum issues is critical in order that you take the steps necessary within the many prescribed time limits because in every case the injured party is responsible for making application for the benefits and compensation they are entitled to.

Even apart from the "special" situations noted above, each type of injury can have limitation and notice requirements, the missing of which can be fatal to your ability to pursue the claim.
