Virtual Trial Success
September 16, 2021

In March and April of this year, Mr. Tobin Horton and Mr. Dean Paspalofski represented the Defendants in one of the few virtual civil trials in the Province, in front of Madam Justice Mills, sitting in Milton, Ontario. The matter arose as a result of an unusual motor vehicle incident where the Plaintiff alleged to have suffered permanent and life altering injuries as a result of electrocution and a traumatic brain injury.

The nine day trial was heard over a three week period and the Defendants were ultimately successful at the trial, having the Plaintiff’s action dismissed by the court.

LAT Decision — Binet v. Liberty Mutual Insurance
July 14, 2021

Jonathan Schwartzman was successful on a LAT hearing held by video-conference on a challenging causation case of a high-speed rollover of a delivery truck which caused only soft tissue injuries to the claimant driver, and did not cause or contribute to the disc herniation he suffered 3 months later, or his alleged chronic pain syndrome and alleged psychological condition. The Applicant did not meet his onus on proving causation, nor on his alleged extent of impairment, for pre and post-104 week Income Replacement Benefits or for disputed treatment, and his claim for an award under S.10 of Reg.664/90 was similarly dismissed.

Tobin Horton and Justin Koifman of our office were successful at the WSIAT
July 10, 2019

On June 20, 2019, Tobin Horton and Justin Koifman of our office were successful at the WSIAT on a right to sue application. In this case, the plaintiff sustained a bilateral femur fracture in the course of his employment as a security guard. He issued a claim against two tortfeasors. Both tortfeasors were also in the course of their employment, but Mr. Horton’s client was only in Ontario on a temporary basis as he was normally an employee in Alberta. The parties argued the tortfeasor’s substantial connection to Ontario and Vice-Chair Mitchinson concluded that there was a substantial connection to Ontario. Accordingly, the right to sue was statutorily barred by the Act. To read the decision please click here….

Chiocchio v. City of Hamilton – 2018 ONCA 762
September 19, 2018

In Chiocchio v. Hamilton (City), 2018 ONCA 762, the Court of Appeal granted our appeal in a trial decision, in which the City of Hamilton was found liable for having failed to paint a “stop line” at a rural side road intersection. In April 2006, the co-defendant came to a stop at the stop sign, 9 meters back from the intersection. He then pulled out into the intersection and caused a terrible accident with the plaintiff’s vehicle coming from his left. The plaintiff alleged (and the trial judge agreed) that the City’s failure to paint a stop line contributed to the accident. Great job David Zuber, Marcella Smit and James Tausendfreund!

Michaud-Shields v. Gough
September 19, 2018

A great win by David Bierstone, Akari Sano and team in the Summary Judgment Motion of Michaud-Shields v. Gough. This involved a mother and son, living in the same household. The son stole the car. Both the mother and son testified that there was no consent. The uninsured motorist said there was implied consent. The court agreed that there was no implied consent. The judge explained that granting consent to possess is a positive act. If there is no consent, the owner does not have to take active steps to prevent unauthorized use of the vehicle (i.e. hide the keys).
