Manitoba Public Insurance is establishing an independent Claim Dispute Tribunal to speed up the appeal process.
Physical damage claim issues and liability disputes for customers will be resolved quickly with the CDT.
The CDT will not be handling bodily injury appeals.
MPI expects the CDT to be fully operational in late 2020.
Claimants won’t have to worry about knowing whether or not they can go the CDT because MPI will let them know if the decision is eligible for a CDT review.
Decisions will be rendered within 90 days in most cases.
MPI currently deals with about 200 thousand physical damage claims each year and based on the current amount of disputes, the CDT is anticipated to review about 700 applications per year.
