This case is demonstrative of the caliber and quality of our lawyers. We have taken the most difficult cases to court. A trial case is very different than a settlement, where the insurance company concedes responsibility and negotiates a financial dispensation. Trial cases are when our lawyers proceed litigate in court to prove responsibility. This specific case resulted in the largest judgment of its kind in Canadian history.
