With more than 25 years of experience, she has an excellent track record in motor vehicle accident claims — both tort and first party — occupier’s liability, slip and fall incidents, sexual assault cases, disability claims and medical malpractice suits, achieving some of the highest awards in motor vehicle cases in Ontario for her clients.
Her areas of expertise include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, disability claims and insurance law. Where appropriate, she employs alternative dispute resolution — mediation and arbitration — toward the most cost-effective, successful resolution possible.
