Extensive Personal Injury Trial Experience
Thomson Rogers’ personal injury litigators are well known for helping clients who have suffered catastrophic injuries due to the negligence of others. This helps to level the playing field against well-funded insurance companies and other defendants.
In one of Thomson Rogers’ high-profile cases, a client was awarded a record-high $1.5 million in punitive damages in their lawsuit against their long-term disability benefits insurer. A Toronto jury decided the dispute in the client’s favor after a five-week trial and awarded full payment of benefits from the date of denial to trial. It is the largest standing “punitive” and “aggravated” damages amount awarded by a jury against a long-term disability insurance company.
After arguing a lengthy and complicated trial, Thomson Rogers’ medical malpractice lawyers were recently successful in obtaining a judgment in favor of their client who was left with catastrophic brain damage following a medical procedure.
