18. Where, by reason of bodily injury caused by an automobile, a person is entitled to both an indemnity under this title and to a compensation or pecuniary benefit under the Workmen’s Compensation Act (chapter A-3) or any other Act relating to compensation of certain persons who are victims of a work accident, in force in or outside Québec, that person shall claim the compensation or pecuniary benefit provided for under the said Act or such other Act and shall not avail himself of the indemnity provided for in this title except for the excess, if any.
Where, by reason of bodily injury caused by an automobile, a person is entitled to both a compensation or pecuniary benefit under the Crime Victims Compensation Act (chapter I-6) and to an indemnity under this title, that person may, at his option, claim the compensation or pecuniary benefit under the Crime Victims Compensation Act or avail himself of the indemnity provided for in this title. The compensation received under either of these two acts by reason of the same bodily injury caused by an automobile causes that person to lose every right under the other act.
