Insurance - MVA Law - Car Accident Update Ontario Court of Appeal - Ottawa MVA Lawyers
Insurance - MVA Law - Car Accident Update Ontario Court of Appeal - Ottawa MVA Lawyers
The Ontario Court of Appeal recently released its decision in the case of Kusnierz v Economical which has been followed by personal injury and car accident lawyers in Ontario. The case can be read at http://www.ontariocourts.on.ca/decisions/2011/2011ONCA0823.htm
The Ontario Court of Appeal allowed the appeal. In doing so, it declared that Mr. Kusnierz met the definition of catastrophic impairment under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule - SABS and is entitled to enhanced medical and rehabilitation benefits.
The Ontario trial Lawyers Association - OTLA (to which Marc Quinn of our Ottawa law firm is a proud member) intervened in this case and was represented by lawyers Jim Vigmond, Brian Cameron, Adam Little and Troy Lehman, all very experienced Ontario personal injury lawyers.
This case represents a significant victory for the plaintiff bar. It also represents OTLA’s ongoing efforts to lobby the government to strongly resist restrictions to the definition of catastrophic impairment.
In his decision, MacPherson J.A. stated as follows:
“I do not agree with the trial judge’s conclusion and his reasons in support of it. I prefer the opposite conclusion and the reasons of Spiegel J. in Desbiens v. Mordini….The language of the SABS, the purpose of the Guides, the Guides’ references to combining physical and psychological impairments, and the goals of the SABS lead me to conclude that the combination of physical and psychological impairments is appropriate under cl. 2(1.1)(f).”
OTLA continues to fight for the rights of injured victims in Ontario and Canada. OTLA is a leading legal authority on personal injuries issues and on auto insurance issues. The work OTLA does to assist victims of accidents is important and vital. I am proud to say I am a member of OTLA.

Ottawa Social Host Liability Lawyers - Quinn Thiele Mineault Grodzki LLP - Can I be held liable when hosting a holiday party?
Ottawa Social Host Liability Lawyers - Quinn Thiele Mineault Grodzki LLP.
During the holiday season, people tend to socialize more and drink more alcohol. Unfortunately, there also tends to be more people drinking and driving. As a home owner (or tenant) hosting a holiday party or any other get together where alcohol is supplied , the question becomes whether there is exposure to liability if someone drinks at your home and then drives drunk. Can the home owner or host be held responsible should the drunk driver injure or kill someone. The answer in short is – absolutely yes. The area of law surrounding this issue is called social host liability. As an Ottawa personal injury law firm, we often receive calls from persons concerned about social host liability. The inquiries focus around the home owner wanting to host a party where alcohol will be served, what the responsibilities of a host are and what the risks are.
If you serve alcohol at your home, whether at a party or just a friendly gathering, there is always risk. The risk increases with knowledge and the amount of drinking involved. If you are aware that someone who attended your home has become intoxicated and is unable to drive, you arguably have a legal obligation to try and stop that person even if that involves calling 911. If the person becomes intoxicated at your home, drives and injures someone else, you can be held liable under the social host liability principles.
As Ottawa Accident Lawyers - Ottawa Social Host Liability Lawyers, we urge you to drink responsibly. If you drink, simply do not drive. If someone wants to drive drunk, safely stop them from driving. Planning is important. There are options: have a designated driver, take the bus, call a cab, call a friend, stay over night, call Operation Red Nose, call Responsible Choice.
