A Brief Financial Update – Structured Settlements
Courtesy of EPS Settlements Group of Canada – “The Structured Settlements Company”. A Brief Financial Update: * The Canadian dollar will continue to flounder until a viable Covid vaccine is found. * This is still a great time to renew or get a mortgage. The Bank of Canada will hold it’s cheap money course. * Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation has taken steps to tighten mtg insurance eligibility requirements. * Lines of credit (for those with lots of money) will remain inexpensive. For the rest expect bank % increases or the lowering of credit limits. * Inflation is now a serious issue. * Expect downtown condo and commercial property values to decrease as bars and restaurants close and people realize going to an office is “old school”. * The stock market will remain the most volatile place to “invest” money. The ”coronavirus” has wrecked havoc with world stock prices. * Personal Injury Structured Settlements will remain the safest and most secure investment for our disabled clients. Capital is preserved and administered, tax free, for the duration of a client’s life. Give me a call. No case is too small or too large.

Spinal Cord injury Ontario – SAFE@HOME Connecting in a Crisis
Most health care workers and personal injury lawyers, know of the good work Spinal Cord Injury Ontario has done over the years. Formally known as the Canadian Paraplegic Association, it has operated out of Lyndhurst Hospital since the end of World War 2. Many of our mutual clients were one time patrons of the hospital and remain SCIO members. I am proud to say, I have been helping those with spinal cord injuries since 1980. I made some great friends who were kind enough to let me work on their cases. Having said that, it is true of most of us in the personal injury field – it doesn’t matter what side of the bar we are on, SCIO has been an invaluable resource to help our mutual clients/friends. Well, our friends need us! Those with spinal cord injuries are at high-risk to get COVID-19. This is because of the need for face-to-face care, whether acute, rehab, or in the home. This increased risk will continue until there is a vaccine. Continue reading … View moreWe are delighted to welcome Toronto litigator Yan David Payne to Top Lawyers ™.
