Injury claims in Manitoba
Structure reviewed May 2026Public no-fault for crashes. The lawyer’s job is proving what you lost, to an administrator.
Manitoba’s Personal Injury Protection Plan compensates injured people regardless of fault and bars most lawsuits arising from motor-vehicle injury. Benefits cover income replacement, care and permanent impairment. Disputes move through internal review and then an independent appeal body. Non-auto injuries remain ordinary tort claims.
Deadlines
Two years from discovery
Manitoba’s modern limitations statute uses a two-year discoverability period with a longer ultimate bar. PIPP review and appeal deadlines are much shorter and independent of it.
These are the ones that end otherwise strong claims, because they are measured in days or weeks rather than years.
- Internal review of a benefit decision must be requested within a fixed and short window.
- Municipal and Crown claims carry separate notice requirements.
Matching in Manitoba
What the match has to account for here
- The valuable practitioners here are the ones who live inside the PIPP appeal process, not general litigators who take the occasional file.

InjuryLawyerNearMe.ca is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, legal opinions, or legal representation. We are an independent matching service. Nothing on this site creates a solicitor-client relationship. Deadlines and entitlements depend on facts we cannot assess from a web page — speak to a lawyer promptly. This page describes the general structure of Manitoba law as reviewed in May 2026. It does not account for your facts, it is not a substitute for advice, and legislation changes. Statutory figures such as caps and deductibles are indexed and deliberately not reproduced here — confirm the current amounts with counsel.
