You could also call this:

“Old rules for accident insurance payments from before 2002”

If you paid money for accident insurance before 2002, there are some rules you need to know. These rules are about the money you paid or need to pay for accident insurance under old laws.

The old rules about paying for accident insurance still work for money you paid or need to pay under the old laws from 1972, 1982, and 1992. Even though these laws are not used anymore, the rules about paying still count.

Some parts of a law from 1998 also still work. These parts talk about how much different jobs should pay for insurance and how good businesses are at keeping people safe.

If you had to pay for insurance between July 1, 1999, and April 1, 2002, the old rules from 1998 still count. These rules help figure out how much you need to pay.

It’s important to know that you still have to pay your insurance money even if you’re not happy about it. You can ask someone to look at how much you have to pay if you think it’s wrong. But you still need to pay while they’re checking it.
