The June 1st accident benefits changes will substantially reduce available funding for accident victims and will cause lengthy “catastrophic impairment” designation delays.
This Practical Strategies webinar will help you plan for the upcoming changes by addressing the following;
- A review of the major reductions to statutory accident benefits and the applicable transitional rules;
- A discussion on the new License Appeal Tribunal (replacing FSCO as of April 1, 2016) and the elimination of the right to sue in Court for accident benefits disputes;
- A review of the narrower definition of “catastrophic impairment”; and,
- Solutions to helping accident victims in keeping with these changes.
The webinar will be chaired by Dale Orlando, McLeish Orlando.
Panel includes: Dr. Ron Kaplan, Kaplan Psychologists; David MacDonald, Thomson, Rogers; Darcy Merkur, Thomson, Rogers; Ryan Murray, Oatley Vigmond.
