Decisions & Precedents
We’re proud to not only represent our clients, but also to contribute to jurisprudence that recognizes the rights of accident victims. Here are some cases where our lawyers have contributed to important precedents:
Mathieu v. Cormier, 2021 NBQB 124
The litigation process can sometimes be long and the financial burden on accident victims and their families can be significant. Fidelis Law successfully secured a $500,000.00 advance payment of special damages for one of their clients – one of the highest advance payment awards by a New Brunswick court.
Arseneau v. O’Brien, 2017 NBQB 187
An accident can interfere with the victim’s ability to earn income even if that income is undeclared.
Hermitage-Kilkenny v Morris, 2013 NBQB 407
Global settlements of prior personal injury claims are not relevant enough to warrant an exception to settlement privilege, and therefore, need not be disclosed.
The Wawanesa Mutual Insurance Company v. Wade, 2015 NBCA 43
The Court of Appeal ordered the Wawanesa Mutual Insurance Company to produce a significant amount of its financial and business information in a personal injury claim involving bad faith and punitive damages.
Finding a Lawyer After a Car Accident
In the aftermath of car accident, dealing with your injuries and symptoms, ensuring access to timely medical services and treatments, surmounting the financial burden, and maneuvering through the complex insurance claim’s process can be overwhelming. One crucial step in navigating this challenging time is hiring the right team of personal injury lawyers to represent your interests.
With so many lawyers offering a variety of services, how do you choose the right one? This simple guide, structured around the Who, What, When, Where, Why and How, will help you find an accident and injury lawyer who meets your needs and set your expectations for the first meeting. Remember, asking questions is key to understanding and making informed decisions.
Know Your Rights
Hiring a personal injury lawyer is an important decision. Most lawyers who represent clients in their personal injury claim do so on a contingent fee basis* (they only get paid once your claim has successfully been resolved). To ensure transparency and to protect the public, the Law Society prepared a short document titled “Know Your Rights”. Your Fidelis Injury & Disability Lawyer will always act in your best interest and will zealously protect your rights.
