If none of those options are applicable, auto insurance shoppers choosing
a higher deductable will reduce the premiums of their car insurance, but that could result in a higher out - of - pocket expense in the result of an accident.

Here is what you need to know about Income Replacement Benefits (IRB's): • IRB's are calculated at 70 % of your average gross income based on your employment history o Your income is calculated as the
higher of either (i) the 52 weeks before the accident OR (ii) the 4 weeks before the accident multiplied by 13 o Self - employed income is calculated as the
higher of either (i) the 52 weeks before the accident OR (ii) the last fiscal year o If you are receiving other income replacement assistance, such as short term or long term disability benefits, those amounts are
deductable from the amount of your IRB eligibility • IRB's are capped at $ 400 per week • The first 7 days of your disability are not covered by IRB's • IRB's are payable for a 104 week (2 year) period, but you may be eligible to continue receiving this benefit past the 2 years indefinitely, if after the 2 year mark you are unable to do any occupation for which you are reasonably suited by way of your education, training and experience • The age 65 marks changes in IRB's o If you are already over the age of 65, IRB's are payable up to 208 weeks and gradually reduced over that period o If you reach the age 65 while already receiving benefits, the IRB is converted to a lifetime pension at a reduced rate based on an established formula
