View moreEvery day on the evening news, we see reports of the daily carnage that occurs on our roads and highways. If known at the time, reporters may mention if someone died on scene or later at hospital. Sometimes, first responders may describe injuries sustained as “life altering” but rarely do we hear of the aftermath of these motor vehicle crashes and how crash victims and their families are managing. This is one of the reasons I was so delighted to connect with Dawne Mckay, founder of The Crash Support Network and a car crash survivor herself. Dawne suffered multiple injuries, including a brain injury, in a horrific collision involving an 18-Wheeler truck. She, like all MVA victims, find their worlds turned upside down while trying to navigate life with disabling, life altering, injuries that can take years to recover from. Continue reading …

Summer Reminder for Ontario Personal Injury Lawyers
Courtesy of EPS Settlements Group of Canada
– “The Structured Settlements Company”.
Just a reminder (yes, I am embarrassed to say this while I am sitting at the end of a dock up north) but we all need to prepare for this year’s settlement rush.
Ontario’s car insurers have made a tremendous amount of money this year since travel, driving, and accident statistics remain lower then normal (the covid effect). Therefore they have plenty of incentive to lower their reserves, by settling as many cases as possible before year end. From your perspective – the window to settle those cases is between September through to December 15th.
Yikes! That is less then six weeks away.
