Yes, having epilepsy can affect your car insurance rates in Canada. Insurance companies consider many factors when determining your insurance premium, including your driving history, the type of vehicle you drive, and any medical conditions that may impact your driving ability. If you have epilepsy, it’s possible that your insurance premium may be higher than someone without epilepsy.

It’s important to disclose any medical conditions that may affect your driving ability to your insurance company, as failing to do so may result in a denial of coverage if you need to make a claim.

It’s best to speak with your insurance company and your doctor for more information on how epilepsy may impact your car insurance rates.

Will my insurance coverage be affected if I have an epileptic seizure while driving?

In Canada, whether or not you can drive with epilepsy depends on the severity and frequency of your seizures, as well as the type of seizures you experience. The rules and regulations regarding driving with epilepsy vary from province to province, but in general, if you have epilepsy and have had a seizure within the past year, you may be required to inform your province’s Ministry of Transportation and to undergo a medical evaluation.

Based on the results of your medical evaluation, the Ministry of Transportation may place restrictions on your driving privilege, such as requiring you to only drive during certain times of the day or with someone in the car, or to only drive vehicles with certain safety features.

It’s important to speak with your doctor for more information on how your epilepsy may impact your ability to drive, and to follow any rules and regulations established by the Ministry of Transportation in your province.
