An accident victim who selects Full Tort has the right to seek money damages for pain and suffering without having to demonstrate that they sustained a serious injury. Accident victims who select the Limited Tort must prove that they suffered a “serious injury” which is defined as “death, serious impairment of body function or permanent serious disfigurement”.
