Insurance Facts You Should Know: QUESTION: ANSWER: What is this about the unsatisfied judgement fund being discontinued? AS of March 1, 1980 car insurance is compulsory in Ontario. As a result the Unsatisfied Judgement Fund, for all practical purposes, has been discontinued. However, it is still possible to be involved in an accident with an uninsured car e.g. a stolen vehicle or a vehicle on which the insurance is lapsed. In such a case your own insurance will now automatically come into play by a new extension under which any injuries or damages to your vehicle are paid up to $100,000. We provide all kinds of insurance and care. call us for any of your insurance needs.
