AB govt wants Wideman and Flames to cover cost of Henderson’s dental surgery, optometric, mental health, chiropractic, podiatrist services.

It would be interesting to know if the Alberta Gov't (likely not the political (ie NDP) part of it, but the pragmatic, legal part) generally tries to collect in other situations. One of those would be a non-work-related incident that is attributable to neglect. Say a car hits a person negligently. Does AB Health try to collect back from the car driver's insurer the cost of medical care? If so, the claim above seems reasonable from a policy point of view. (The joining as a plaintiff - not the amount of course.)
