Professionals in every sector sometimes make mistakes; or they are accused of doing so. We have considerable experience handling litigation involving professionals in a number of sectors, including building and construction, health care, financial services, education, and insurance.
Professionals, due to specialized knowledge and experience are held to a higher standard of care, which is often regulated by a specific professional body. We can help clients understand those standards.
Note to Professionals: You will most likely have purchased professional liability insurance to protect yourself against potential litigation and, for qualifying claims, your insurer will retain and pay for the costs of a lawyer to defend you, but what you may not know is that you may not be obligated to opt for the lawyer selected by your insurer to defend you. You may be able to select your own lawyer. Call us to discuss your situation, to see if we can help you.
If you were injured or suffered damages because of a product that did not operate as it should have, or if you are a manufacturer or retailer being sued over claims of a faulty product, we can help you.
If you are being sued because of a claim that your actions caused injury or damages to another, or if you were injured due to someone else’s actions, whether in an automobile accident, recreational accident, slip and fall, or similar incident, we can help you.
Claims involving municipalities involve a unique set of rules, regulations and limitations, so whether you are a Municipality in need of defence or advice, or whether you wish to make a claim against a Municipality or a Municipal body, we can help you.
For professionals and business owners, prevention is the best defence. Drawing from our decades of experience, we can review your policies, procedures, and workflow to provide strategic, practical advice on what steps to adopt to help avoid/ or significantly minimize claims against you or to mitigate their potential effects. Adopting more effective preventative measures could significantly reduce your insurance costs, leading to an overall costs savings to you or your business. Call us to discuss how our preventative liability assessment can assist you.
We have provided advice to insurers on policy wording and policy interpretation, and can also assist individuals seeking a better understanding of their insurance coverage in regard to professional liability policies and commercial general liability (“CGL”) policies.
We have defended claims against Municipalities, including Municipal Officials. We can also offer advice to Municipalities on avoiding liability, and on tendering Requests for Proposals (RFP’s) in respect of seeking tenders for legal services. Contact us for details.
