Case Summary

Barbeau v. Ruchetta We represented a pedestrian, Nancy, who was walking in a crosswalk when an inattentive truck driver struck her. As a result of the accident, Nancy suffered a significant fracture of her left tibia and fibula, which required emergent surgery and three additional surgeries, including a fusion. It was expected that she would require an additional three surgeries throughout her lifetime.Nancy returned to her administrative job because she loved what she did, but she struggled with pain. The defendant’s insurer refused to acknowledge that she would ever have a loss of income. We proceeded to trial. We called on Nancy’s treating orthopaedic surgeon and family doctor to testify to her ongoing limitations, and we flew an independent witness in from Texas to tell the jury about the severity of the impact. The jury returned a verdict awarding Nancy enough compensation to allow her to work significantly reduced hours until her retirement. by Tim Boland, Darcy Romaine 20.10.2021 Case Summary

Cockburn v. Holmes Hit the brake – Swerve left – Dump the bike! These were the split-second decisions Ron made as a van pulled out from a stop sign, turned right, then left across Ron’s path, at an off-set intersection. Ron went into the side of the van and was dragged 50’ across the road. The van driver was charged but acquitted at traffic court. After the traffic court decision, Ron came to us. He had severe orthopaedic injuries that ended his career as a produce manager.Following a month-long trial, the jury found the van’s driver to be 90% at-fault for the collision and awarded Ron enough compensation to fund his future care needs and replace the income he lost by having to retire early. by Tim Boland, Darcy Romaine 20.10.2021 Case Summary
Derry v. C.F. Realty Holdings Gloria was an employee of The Bay at the Georgian Mall in Barrie. After her shift, she exited the mall and slipped on ice that had formed on the sidewalk. The defendants argued that Gloria’s boots were the cause of her fall, as was her inattention. We hired an expert tribometrist to measure the level of friction created between Gloria’s rubber-soled boots to show they were of no consequence. We focused on a leak coming from the mall’s roof, which it knew about, and was the cause of the ice. Gloria sustained multiple complicated ankle fractures, which required surgery and extensive treatment. Her injuries were so severe that they eventually took her out of the workforce entirely. The jury determined that the Georgian Mall was 90% responsible for the accident and returned a verdict that was more than double the amount that the defendants offered to settle for before trial. by Tim Boland, Darcy Romaine 20.10.2021 Case Summary
Elder v. Rizzardo Bros Holdings Inc. Helen fractured her elbow while walking through a grocery store parking lot. She slipped and fell on an icy concrete island beside a wheelchair accessible parking space. The value of Helen’s claim was agreed upon by the parties. Still, the defendant property owner and maintenance contractor did not accept any responsibility for the accident. They did not make any offer to settle. It was their position that Helen was 100% to blame. They came to a secret agreement to join forces against Helen. She had no choice but to concede or fight at trial. Helen chose to fight. Through the trial, we established that the property owner’s contractor’s records were made-up and that the engineer’s reconstruction was critically flawed and misrepresentative of the work that was actually performed. The jury found the property owner 50% at-fault, the contractor 40% at-fault, and Helen 10% at-fault. by Tim Boland, Darcy Romaine 21.10.2021 Case Summary
