According to a new report drivers in Ontario have overpaid by approximately 5 billion dollars on auto insurance over the past five years. The report, commissioned by the Ontario Trial Lawyers’ Association suggests insurance companies might have made about 5 billion in pre-tax income between 2011 and 2016. Given the levels of excessive profitability, motorists almost certainly paid too much for coverage with estimates of the over payments amounting to about 143 dollars per policy, per year.
