| Never had a traffic conviction or accidents since i got my license 2 years ago. Got a speeding
ticket on a highway, they suspended my license for 4 months, told me to do a novice course
and said if i ever get a speeding ticket again they are gonna suspend my license again. This is
absolutely ridiculous, lately MPI has been harassing a lot of people right under the nose of the
government and no body is doing anything about it. What gives MPI the right to decide who to
suspend, it's not fair. Why is it that MPI has been given such powers just for being a freaking
insurance company. THIS HAS TO STOP!! |

In response to RM - why is your 14 year old son driving your truck in the first place ?!?!
A rollover is serious and he is lucky that no one was seriously injured or killed, paying back
MPI for a sore neck is the least of your worries i would say (aside from your truck being rolled
over...)
I hope everyone is ok and hopefully this was a wakeup call to you and your son.... I dont think
its fair that the all the MPI rate payers should have to foot the bill for this do you? |

| My son who is 14 rolled my truck and had 3
passengers at the time. All were fine at
the time. I did not put a claim in so I
would not effect my sons future to get a
drivers liscence.6 weeks later 1 of
passengers contacted mpi to put a claim in
because of a sore neck. Mpi phoned me to
explain what happened. If I put in claim
with mpi and pay for any medical Bill's of
person with some neck. Would mpi proceed
with claim and charges.Any advice on how
to proceed? |

| My friend was in a very bad accident
and is pain every day. Her Doctor has
told her she can't go back to work.
But today she got a call from MPI. Her
case worker stated that she was
getting cut off but wanted to meet her
and help with her appeal. What should
she do? |

| Questions That Require Answers | September 26, 2018 3:00:09 PM |
| How long does it take to receive your accident settlement from MPI if you were the passenger in the
vehicle not the driver? What is the whole process they go through to determine when you receive the
final settlement? |

| Getting ready to take MPI to civil court, can't afford a lawyer so trying to do
it myself. I am wondering if an adjuster can look through the paper in your
vehicle when he is adjusting it or is that an invasion of privacy, he took
pictures and looked at a receipt that was in the door of my truck. Anybody got
an answer or could help me.
This has been over 2 12 years since it was stolen any advise for court would
be appreciated.
Thanks |

MPI are the biggest crooks ever. I pay just as much for insurance as some
newer vehicles and i own a 2008 because it is rated as a "sports" car i guess.
Now i have had my share of speeding tickets (there should be a website for how
cops suck also) but before i had any demerits i was paying high.
Now because i got into an accident which was a train reaction, the guy in
front of me hit a lady in front of him that decided at the last minute she
wanted to park (and she did not signal) so i did not have the time to react
which in turn i got demerits because i was 50% at fault according to the
crooks.
Anyhow not only did i get demerits and my licence went up but they also
increased the insurance of my car. Double dipping pricks. A cousin of mine
that is a trucker said i would not want it but i am thinking we should have
private insurance companies in Manitoba or at least other options.
Every year MPI asks for increases from the public and the powers that be say
ok. They remind me of that Saunders lady (president Trumps press secretary,
they too must have sore knees. |

| F*** MPI. Ever since I got my liscence at 16 I have had nothing but problems with MPI. To give an
example, last year i rear ended someone. He tried to claim rear-quarter panel damage, which would
not be possible with a rear ending. I was told that it would become a case of insurance fraud that
now had to be looked into, and if the man was charged with insurance fraud, the claim would no
longer exist. As many people have already stated, record your conversations with MPI. You will hear
a million different things between three people. Long story short i got into another accident over a
year later, which i was not at fault for. I asked if they could tell me about the previous claim i had and
if it had gone through or if he was charged or what, and now as my car is written off they decide to
let me know that i should have paid my deductible WHEN THEY TOLD ME THE CLAIM COULD BE
WAIVED IF HE WAS FACING FRAUD. Nothing but a bunch of confusing BS with this company. Not
one employee has ever been the slightest bit helpful. Planning on moving out of manitoba so I do not
have to continue to deal with this joke of an insurance company. |

| permanent impairment awards | August 18, 2018 2:50:05 PM |
| If you are wondering if there is a permanent impairment award for you car
accident injuries, check out the permanent impairment schedule
at: "https://web2.gov.mb.ca/laws/regs/current/041.94.pdf". I you can't figure
it out, you may want to ask a nurse, physiotherapist, doctor etc (someone who
understands medical terminology) to take a look at the document along with your
medical records for help. |

| Anyone dealing with MPIC or any government agency, I strongly urge you to download
Automatic call recorder for ALL phone calls and use the voice on your phone to
record all meetings. We have caught and proved MPI to be liars with these two
apps. We record ALL meetings and phone calls. if you want and have trouble finding
the app i can share the link with you. My email is heide.d66@gmail.com |

| Had my car stolen and Investigator doesn't believe me, he told me, he was going
to get my cellphone traced and if it left my house that day. I told him, good
idea, do it. This was back in early March and he left me a message end of March
for me to do it. and I sent a message to Bell MTS pay as you go service and told
me, we don't offer that for pay as you go cell phones, so I emailed that message
to mpi. Now he changed it, saying he will do this himself, get a judge to order
it. Well now it's end of June and he should have done this when he said he
would, that's 6 months without my car. Just delaying, delaying. And I'm still
paying my monthly payments and autopac on it. |

| unbelievable | June 20, 2018 2:32:27 PM |
| Our car was involved in a hit & run. MPI didn't believe that is what happened so they sent out an
"independent" investigator. The report came back and said our car backed into something.
I asked for the full report along with the photos and MPI emailed the two files to me. Am I allowed to
post on public media the report and photos? |

| garret lief | June 6, 2018 10:10:18 AM |
| MPI is dishonest. winkler branch outright lies to your face and then denies
having the conversation. And of course they stick up for each other up the
line. It's a culture of mistruths and lies. It is not your insurance company.
It is a monopoly that is foisted on us. Why dont we have competing companies
for our insurance requirements. |

| copy of your file | May 5, 2018 2:30:31 PM |
Manitoba Public Insurance Act:
Disclosure of documents to claimant
"151(1) A claimant may, on giving reasonable notice to the corporation,
examine and copy any document in the corporation's possession respecting the claim and is entitled, on request, to one copy of the document without charge, but the corporation may prescribe a fee for providing more than one copy of the document."
Ask for a copy of your case file regularly since new information gets added all the time. You can learn things that you did not know by reading it. Check the notes they write about their conversations with you, the private healthcare workers they hire, your employer etc. If there is information in the file that is not true, write to mpi to fix it. You have a right to a copy of your file, you don't have to explain why you want it and if mpi say they just want to know
to help you by sending you only what you need, tell them no thank you please
send a copy of the whole file. |

Please digitally record any and all appointments with MPI/WCB or Insurer
chosen providers--so easy if you have a phone to record. Then save to a
computer.
Also record all conversations with your case worker-request copies of your
claim file.
Also before going to any chosen MPI provider appt. ask for any and all intake
forms first. |

Oh gads! Everyone should stay away from Dr. Saran. He works for all the insurance companies
including Worker's Comp. Dr Hoy is the same. Dr Neil Crayton too. Dr Mintz, Dr L Ritchie . I heard Dr
Chase too but that man I haven't confirmed. Lots of them. I believe it is our right to ask them point-
blank if they also do work on the side for insurance companies and which ones. Line their pockets.
It has nothing to do about your health issues it's all about the dollar. MPI runs most of this city and
it's government and government employees. Media too. Disgrace to car & injury insurance. You pay
for what?
And the people that do not have cars and don't pay insurance if they get into accidents they are
totally screwed over by MPI . Repairs at least might get 10% of what is really owed to them
according to their insurance Act. MPIC has its own set of rules. I believe it even has something in
there stating that the Manitoba or city government will not interfere in anything that they do. I would
have to confirm that but that MPIC insurance Act is dry, painstaking reading. |

Thank you.
I hear you. Good people win in the end. We just got to control our reactions to the Evil Crown Corp
that lines the pockets of this government, the lawyers, the doctors, the specialists, other businesses
by "donating & sponsoring" events. These things cost "us" the MPIC rate payers. Premiums are
expensive here, almost or the most expensive in Canada. And it's for who? Not the insuranced
"average Manitoban" ( the majority of Manitobans) are paying for something they CAN Not depend
on. Useless insurance. And PIPP is a joke. BS walks! Actions Talk! |

| How long does MPI generally prolong a case? I ask because I have a LOT of patients, I was the
passenger in the car accident I was in and I will get my justice for what has happened to me! |
|
| Lawyer | April 7, 2018 2:56:36 PM |
| Mr. Ellery Strell, of Wilder Wilder Langtry, takes on MPI cases. More lawyers
work for MPI or have a conflict and will not deal with these cases. Because
the insurance company has a monopoly in Manitoba, they have a lot of funds to
hire lawyers. On the other hand, as one office explained, few lawyers take on
these cases for claimants because the insurance company will drag out the case
and the lawyer cannot earn a living. |

| Privatize car insurance | March 24, 2018 4:57:22 PM |
| MPI gives it's downtown employees money to pay for their parking costs and
health club memberships (not life necessities/perks), but won't pay for a car
accident victim's expenses for help around the home with things like cooking
and cleaning (life necessities), unless they score at least 9 points on an
MPI "test". Who decides the score? MPI. MPI has a monopoly over car
insurance and this is how they spend the money. Car insurance should be
privatized. |

| Brian | March 19, 2018 9:47:40 AM |
| Sorry to hear about your 4 year battle, MPI and employees just don't care.
There was a case in Sask. were a guy took a government employee to court, for
using there "position of power" to affect your life.
I don't see why they can't be held accountable.
Something to maybe check out and go after the employees as I am sure MPI will
throw them under the bus.
Good luck in your fight and yes we sure need more insurance options. |

I'm sorry you too have been tortured by MPI. Mine is an injury claim & still fighting 4 years.
Those you can't even take these MPI Employees to court.
Sad how no one knows how bad it is until it's too late.
Manitobans need Private insurance.
Period.
MPI corrupt greed & government backed by their silence
And silencing the media.
Market Place or 16x9 might do a story if a bunch of us
Get together & approach them. Just wondering. |

It has been 2 years since my truck was stolen out of my yard. Just an update as
I filed court paper and now the MPI lawyer is doing everything he can to stall
going to court. He sent me a letter he would file a Pre Trial Conference and
still nothing.
I am still paying insurance, (lay up) on my truck as I have a lone on it and
it can not be driven, 2 years this has been hanging over my head. It has taken
a big toll on my finances as well as my health.
The day after I served MPI with papers I ended up in ER with heart failure. It
is stress related heart attack according to the doctor and I have been in and
out of hospital ever since.
This is what my PUBLIC INSURANCE COMPANY has put me through, it has killed my
business as well as destroyed my health.
They know I can't afford a lawyer so they don't care about settling anything,
I even have proof that the adjuster, Justin Kaspick out right lied in he
adjusting of my ATV swaying that the engine oil was VERY clean and yet the
Polaris dealer states it very dirty and needs to be changed, but MPI is never
held accountable for this or the deceitful manner in which they conduct
business. They send you a registered letter and when you open it hidden in the
back is a letter stating you have 5 days until a forced arbitration and if you
don't reply, you agree to there terms, how is that for underhanded.
As I stated all along I wanted a test drive, so after I won in small claims
court with the ATV we got it running to discover the steering was broken as
well as the front axle had to be replaced which would have shown up on a test
drive, guess that's why they didn't do one.
I really hope all you MPI employees are proud of yourselves and I really hope
Karma makes your lives $%!# like you have done to mine.
This is a copy of a email I sent to Ron Schuler MLA for MPI, Greg Nesbitt MLA,
Premier Palister, Brent VanKoughnet, chairman MPI, L Lang adjuster MPI, A.
Robertson MPI Lawyer, Andrew Swan NDP, Go Public and Brandon sun. No one even
has the common courtesy to reply. We do need a new government from the
veterians affairs to maybe treat Canadians fairly.
Please share this as much as possible. Thanks Brian |

Hi,
Regarding speeding convictions - how is it legal for MPI to charge more for our licenses, and
yet we have already paid our fine to the government?
MPI is as crooked as the rest of the government. How come our money goes to buying box
seats at the MTS Center?
I think we should lobby the Manitoba Ombudsman to look at MPI thoroughly - they are
corrupt. |

| So who would want to be put on a list for a class action lawsuit...lets challenge
these people formally...bullying just isn't an acceptable practice for anyone but
in particular the people who you need to be able to trust as such as the
government. In addition, I think the other insurers like Blue Cross should not
insure any treatment that is rightfully the responsibility of MPI and should be
looking to be reimbursed from MPI as well. I think involving the insurance
companies would also add some weight to class action lawsuit! Let me know! Thank
you. |
