Section 57
Disposition versions
57. If a victim suffers a relapse of his bodily injury within two years from the end of his last period of disability in respect of which he was entitled to an income replacement indemnity or, if he was not entitled to such an indemnity, within two years of the accident, he shall receive compensation from the date of the relapse as though his disability resulting from the accident had not been interrupted.
However, if the indemnity computed on the basis of the gross income actually earned by the victim at the time of the relapse is greater than the indemnity to which the victim would be entitled under the first paragraph, the victim shall receive the greater indemnity.
If the victim suffers a relapse more than two years after the time referred to in the first paragraph, he shall receive compensation as if the relapse were a second accident.
This section does not apply to a victim who suffers from catastrophic injuries or sequelae referred to in section 26.2.
