Bill Gorman was injured in three separate collisions under three different insurance compensation regimes. The trial was complex and pitted Bill against three defence lawyers.

Bill was fortunate enough to have a brother, John Gorman Q.C., who was himself a personal injury lawyer of 30 years and a former senior crown prosecutor. John referred his brother to Tim Boland.

Following a lengthy trial in North Bay, the court recognized Bill’s injuries and awarded him the highest award for chronic pain in the country up to that point. The defendants appealed. The Ontario Court of Appeal upheld the trial decision.
