Claims arising from tort, traffic or workplace accidents, breach of contract, professional liability or insurance relationships require a combined assessment of liability, causation, fault, loss and deadlines.

Scope of Services

• Preliminary assessment of pecuniary and non-pecuniary claims
• Traffic accident claims involving death, injury, vehicle damage and diminution in value
• Compensation arising from workplace accidents and occupational diseases
• Loss resulting from breach of contract or tort
• Loss of support and permanent or temporary incapacity claims
• Applications to insurers and preparation of loss documentation
• Case-specific assessment of insurance arbitration or court proceedings
• Legal review of expert, actuarial and loss calculations

Documentation

Incident reports, medical records, incapacity documents, income and dependency records, invoices and payment evidence, the policy, claim file, photographs, witnesses and official investigation papers may be material depending on the claim.

The amount of compensation may not be capable of final determination at the outset. Fault, medical condition, income, policy limits, expert evidence and judicial assessment affect the outcome.
