The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) has stated that the likelihood of becoming severely injured by a COVID-19 vaccine is less than one in a million. However, complications will inevitably arise over the next several months with the administration of tens of millions of doses, and patients who experience those complications may opt to seek compensation accordingly. The federal government has recently announced its upcoming national vaccine-injury support program. This program will offer “no-fault support” to anyone who experienced serious side effects from receiving the vaccine. Support programs that focus on vaccine injuries protect vaccine recipients who experience severe side [...]

Whiplash Claims in Ontario

Whiplash injuries are caused by the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the body as a result of an impact.  For example, if a driver is waiting at a red light when her vehicle is hit from behind, she will be thrown forward in her seat, and then backward after she is restrained by the seatbelt. The rapid acceleration and then declaration cause a whip-like effect, and the forces that are experienced by the neck and upper back can be very severe.  Sometimes whiplash injuries are very minor, and the strain or sprain resolves in a matter of weeks.  But sometimes, and [...]

If you have spent any time in downtown Ottawa lately, you will have noticed a new type of public transportation that has appeared on the streets.  Three operators – Bird Canada, Lime, and Roll – are bringing up to 600 shared e-scooters to the City’s pathways, bike lanes and streets. The scooters are scattered across the downtown core and can be located through GPS mapping. And while their appearance on our streets may be a blessing to some (young people, for instance) or a curse to others (taxi and Uber drivers come to mind), their use does raise legal issues that [...]
