"Minor" Injury Update: Cap on Soft Tissue Injuries set at $10,642 for 2025

There are 2 important things to know about the Cap:

The Cap amount is tied to the year of your accident. Therefore, if your accident happened in 2017 and you have a “minor” injury, then you would be entitled to $8,486 for pain and suffering. If your accident happened in 2025 and you have a “minor” injury, then you would be entitled to $10,642; and
The minor injury Cap only applies to pain and suffering and does NOT impact your entitlement to other heads of damages.  Also note that the minor injury Cap does not apply to injuries sustained in an accident which did NOT involve a vehicle, for example from a slip and fall.
