Anne was rear-ended while travelling on Highway 400 by a careless driver. She suffered a traumatic brain injury as well as psychological impairments as a result of the crash. Anne was the creative force behind a company she co-owned when the crash occurred. Her pain and cognitive impairments reduced her performance within her own company. She has had to hire additional staff to take the majority of the work she was responsible for prior to her injuries.
“I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Roger Oatley, Shane Henry, and the Oatley Vigmond team for the assistance provided after the accident. It was through Oatley Vigmond that I was able to access the health care I needed. It is a sad commentary on our insurance system that I was unable to access funds for treatment without the assistance of their legal team. Oatley Vigmond also ensured that I received the best possible outcome financially. This money is necessary to pay for the continued physiotherapy, medications, medical devices, and dental work required. It was through Oatley Vigmond that I was able to access income replacement benefits.
In January 2011, I was seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident. Unfortunately, I had difficulty accessing health care and getting any part of my claims settled, including payment for the automobile that was written off by my insurer. At every turn I was asked to fill out a different form, and provide another receipt. My insurer asked my dentist to fill out four separate forms (that, by law, are unnecessary) prior to approving dental work to repair damages incurred during the accident. It was a shameful run-around.
My brother, a partner in a Hamilton law firm, repeatedly advised me to seek legal assistance. He recommended Oatley Vigmond, as it is, in his opinion, the best law firm for personal injury cases.
Now, in April 2015, we have ended our legal dispute with the insurance companies, with the best possible outcome for me and my family. I thank Roger Oatley, Shane Henry, and Ryan Murray for their guidance and diligent work on my behalf. I would also like to express my appreciation to their very professional and helpful staff. This team supported me through a long and complex process.
I encourage anyone who has been seriously injured to enlist the services of Oatley Vigmond.”
