Personal injury lawyer Craig Brown attributes much of his success to careful risk management.

In the past five years, Craig has helped hundreds of clients achieve lucrative awards for brain and spinal cord injuries and other harms sustained due to negligence.

In the historic Indian Residential Schools case, Craig displayed his class-action experience as a leader of a cross-Canada 19-law firm consortium that achieved compensation for over 86,000 former ex-students. “This was a national tragedy that needed to be dealt with,” he says.
Craig is passionate about seeking compensation for damages suffered by innocent people. In the African Lion Safari case, the trial verdict allowed the single mother to “overcome tremendous odds and start her life anew.” He adds, “she was justly compensated and they got what they deserved.”
An author and lecturer, Craig is a member of the Canadian Bar Association, the Advocates’ Society, Ontario Trial Lawyers Association and the Association of Trial Lawyers of America.
Craig is also a Director of Spinal Cord Injury Ontario.
