Case Results Toronto

Client was stopped at a red light on a Toronto highway when struck from behind at approximately 60 km/h. The client suffered whiplash, chronic neck pain, and lower back injuries that persisted for over 18 months.

We obtained independent medical reports from an orthopaedic specialist and a chronic pain physician documenting that the collision caused new, symptomatic injuries distinct from age-related changes. We moved the client out of MIG and into the non-earner benefit stream, then pursued the at-fault driver's insurer for tort damages.

Client slipped on an unsalted commercial parking lot during a January morning. Sustained a fractured wrist requiring surgery and a rotator cuff tear requiring arthroscopic repair.

We retained a meteorological expert who confirmed freezing rain fell between 2–5 AM — after the last salt application. We obtained the property's winter maintenance contract showing they were obligated to re-salt within 4 hours of new precipitation. We also obtained security footage from an adjacent business showing other patrons slipping in the same area.

Construction worker fell from scaffolding at a commercial development site in the GTA after a guardrail failed. Suffered a compression fracture of the lumbar spine requiring fusion surgery.

We pursued both an enhanced WSIB claim and a tort action against the general contractor. Ministry of Labour inspection reports confirmed the guardrail was defective and that the general contractor had been previously cited for fall protection violations on the same site. We retained a structural engineer to demonstrate the guardrail failure was a foreseeable hazard.

Client was lawfully crossing at a signalized intersection in North York when struck by a left-turning vehicle. Suffered a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) with persistent post-concussion syndrome, including cognitive difficulties, chronic headaches, and inability to return to professional employment.

We assembled a multidisciplinary team: neuropsychologist (documenting cognitive decline), occupational therapist (demonstrating inability to perform job tasks), and a neuroradiologist who identified subtle white matter changes on advanced DTI-MRI imaging not visible on standard scans. A vocational rehabilitation expert calculated lifetime earning loss.

Client presented to their family physician with concerning symptoms on multiple occasions over 14 months. Referral to a specialist was delayed. When finally diagnosed, the cancer had advanced from an early treatable stage to a stage requiring aggressive chemotherapy and surgery with reduced prognosis.

We retained both an oncology expert and a family medicine expert. The oncology expert established that earlier diagnosis would have resulted in a significantly better prognosis with less invasive treatment. The family medicine expert confirmed that the standard of care required timely referral given the presenting symptoms and risk factors.

Experienced motorcyclist was proceeding through a green light in Toronto when an oncoming vehicle turned left into their path. Client suffered compound fractures to the leg, a broken collarbone, and road rash requiring skin grafts.

We obtained traffic camera footage establishing the client was within the speed limit. Our accident reconstruction expert confirmed the at-fault driver had insufficient gap time to complete the left turn safely. An independent orthopaedic assessment documented the permanent hardware in the client's leg and ongoing mobility limitations.
