Is it right to sue your sister's insurance company?

No it's defenately NOT fraud. She did really injur herself but you see what does she need compensation for? We have "free" health care! She'll be able to move her hand again. It's not like she lost it. She slipped down hard wood stairs and broke her hand and arm. It is nice of her to give her sis some money towards it but what is that doing to her sister's chances at insurance again in the future?

I've heard that canada's healthcare is not always reliable sometimes you have to wait months to see a doctor thats one reason socialize medicine is having such a hard time getting a foothold here across the border.She might experience ill-effects from this accident in the near future then what? at least she is insuring that if any future troubles occur she will have means to deal with it.Free care is not always the best care ,that if, injure and its not your fault you should have an avenue to get compensated.

You are right, Canada's health care is not the greatest and there are long wait times to see doctors. To get into a specialist, the wait is sometimes months but if the injury is really bad, they put a rush to get you in. My friend finds out on Friday if she forsure has to have surgury on it but it looks like she will be needing it. It's the waiting part that sucks here but we do have good health care in the end (even though it's technically not "free". We pay for it in taxes). Anyways, I guess her suing the insurance company isn't that bad, I just feel, it was a stupid accident, something that most people do in a life time, and that she should just deal with that. I've fallen down stairs many times and sprained this and tore that and broke this but I haven't sued anyone. I think this is just an easy way out to get some money.

Thank you! That's how I feel. It seems like it's just a quick way to make quite a bit of money. She REALLY was injured. She had to get pins in her hand and everything but she's better now and OHIP covers it here. I don't really know what she's suing them for. Thanks for your response.

Well see that's the thing, we live in Canada where our health insurance is covered by OHIP. We have "free" health care. So I don't see the need in her suing as this accident didn't really cost her anything but some pain and anguish.
