Treatment appointments. Prescriptions. Time away from work. Help around the house. The costs of a car accident add up quickly, and many people don't realize how much of it may be covered.

Some expenses are paid by your own insurance company, no matter who caused the accident. Others form part of a claim against the at-fault driver.

We break down both in our latest article.

MacGillivray Injury & Insurance Law represents people injured in car accidents throughout Atlantic Canada and elsewhere in Canada. Free consultation, and no legal fees unless your claim is successful.

After a car accident, it’s easy to focus on the car, insurance calls, and everything else. But your health is just as important.

Seeing a doctor early can help you get the right diagnosis and treatment. It also creates a medical record if you decide to make a claim later.

Didn’t go right away? Book a medical appointment now and be clear about all of your symptoms.

MacGillivray Injury & Insurance Law helps people injured in car accidents across Atlantic Canada and beyond. We will discuss your options and help you decide what to do next.

No-obligation consultation. You do not pay legal fees unless your claim is successful.

Quick update on the Nova Scotia Power case and why we're pushing to extend the credit monitoring period.

This week, two of our attorneys, both named Brandon, went to trial for our valued clients: Brandon Baker from our Moncton office and Brandon Walzak from our St. John's office.

Trial work demands preparation, focus, and a deep commitment to advocacy. That readiness is what sets us apart. When insurance companies know we're prepared to fight in the courtroom, our clients get taken seriously, and that often leads to better outcomes. Being trial-ready isn't just a stance we take; it's at the heart of what we do and what helps us secure the compensation our clients deserve.
A sincere thank you to both Brandons for their hard work, and to the clients who placed their trust in us.
