As many of you are aware, Auto Insurance in Ontario has undergone another round of change. If your policy renews on or after June 1, 2016, you will probably notice a slight reduction in your premium. Upon closer examination, you will also find your coverage and/or protection has also decreased. Unless you call your insurer and upgrade your coverage, your policy will renew at the new default, lower, coverage amounts. This may leave you and your family vulnerable if injured in a car accident. The defaults will absolutely leave you with inadequate protection if you are catastrophically injured. Taking a cue from the suggestions, comments and blog posts of the top personal injury lawyers listed here and others, I reviewed my insurance renewal. My insurer included a helpful outline on the old coverage vs new, lower, default coverage and my options to increase our protection. Continue reading …

We do not know the arrangement of the parties in that case, but intellectual property and trademark law are not areas of practice commonly associated with contingency fee agreements – Although not precluded. Criminal law and Family Law are the only practice areas (To this layman’s knowledge) not permitted to act on contingency. (Source: http://www.lsuc.on.ca/ContingencyFees/ ) Then, a recent article in the National Post about a Judge reducing a Toronto lawyer’s contingency fee in a medical malpractice case came out and that generated a lot of comment online and in traditional media.
