What if I have a "not at fault" accident with a vehicle from out of province?
Can I sue the at fault vehicle who is from out of province?
Who will pay for resulting damages from an accident: IE: Fuel from fuel truck, cargo, cargo truck, cargo spill etc.?
What happens if I have an accident where both parties at equally at fault and both are insured in NB?
If I am involved in an accident in New-Brunswick with another New- Brunswick vehicle that is at fault and also insured in New-Brunswick, how do I get paid?
