Accident Victim

Care

Care allowance
An indemnity for care expenses in the form of an allowance is paid to an accident victim whose main occupation was taking care of children under the age of 16 or disabled persons without remuneration.

The victim must have been unemployed or holding part-time employment (under 28 hrs/weekly) at the time of the accident in order to qualify.

The amount of indemnity depends on the number of children or disabled people who were in the victim's care.

Reimbursement of care expenses
The reimbursement of care expenses is also possible in cases where a victim is unable to take care of children under the age of 16 or disabled persons by reason of the accident. Care expenses cannot, of course, be reimbursed to someone already receiving a care allowance.

The right to reimbursement of care expenses is maintained when a victim regains the ability to provide care but cannot do so because of having to go for medical attention or an examination at the Société's request.

Reimbursement is subject to certain conditions, on presentation of receipts, up to the maximum weekly amounts.
