Insurance Law
The BOYNECLARKE Insurance Law Team acts on behalf of plaintiffs and insurance companies on a variety of individual and commercial cases ranging from hurricane damage to traumatic brain injury. Our litigators have represented clients across Canada and in the United States in cases ranging from personal injury to commercial litigation.
Insurance cases can be complex, involving a variety of experts ranging from crash dynamics engineers to medical specialists. The Insurance Law Team has considerable expertise in working effectively with a broad spectrum of medical specialists in the areas of rehabilitation, orthopedics, physiotherapy, and massage therapy. We also understand the latest medical investigative health tools such as MRIs and CAT scans, and their significance in proving your case in court.
BOYNECLARKE has a reputation for its handling of traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases throughout Atlantic Canada.
When we are acting for the plaintiff, we involve the medical experts who will accentuate the key elements in your defence of the case—experts who know how to communicate the medical/legal issue that will achieve maximum recovery.
When we are acting for the insurance company, we work hard to resolve the issue early on in the process, to minimize the loss.
