Traffic Fatalities
Fatalities are becoming more and more prevalent. My heart goes out to the family who lost their son this week. I also have a 4 year old son. There is nothing worse. The Sun did a great job a couple weeks ago about the increase in fatalities in the City. I spoke last week about…

Distracted Driving โ€“ The Sequel
Sun Media My associate just got this hand out from the Toronto Police that looks like a ticket but really it is a caution on distracted driving. Now I know I talk about this a lot but there are certain realities to this new high tech age we are living in. The hand out states…

Sports Concussions
Sandra Zisckind I have decided, I am going to be the only one who doesnโ€™t talk about the mayor this week. It is not a moral stance but I think the media has done a great job covering it and hey what more is there to say? I want to talk about sports. Watching the…

Personal Injury with a Heart
Sandra Zisckind I am so happy to congratulate my brother Isaac Zickind on his โ€œLawyers Canโ€™t Jumpโ€ event. Basically a bunch of out of shape lawyers, (myself included) got together to play basketball and raise money for Sick Kids hospital. Isaac and two other lawyers from two other firms raised over $20,000.00 for the Leukemia…

Halloween Safety
Sun Media Itโ€™s Halloween this week. My son will be going as Lightning McQueen for the third year in a row (Disney owes me shares in their company). So we should talk about Halloween safety. Now I am going to admit to a practice I think is probably wrong but it is one I employ…

Sandra Zisckind on Catastrophic Injuries
People often ask us what is a โ€œcatastrophic injuryโ€ for the purposes of a motor vehicle accident? Catastrophic is a legal definition under theย Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule. Generally, if you are catastrophic you are a quadriplegic, paraplegic or severely brain injured. But there is one other category that people are not usually aware of, that…

Good and Bad In All Systems
Sun Media Clients often tell me, โ€œOh if I got injured in the U.S., my recovery would be better.โ€ That is not the case. As someone who studied in U.S. and got her law degree there, I can tell you that while our U.S. counterparts have some good points to their regime, they also have…

Road Rage
Sandra Zisckind After the video with motorcyclists and Range Rover (extremely disturbing) I read that road rage is on the rise. I too have once or twice (maybe more) aggressively honked someone. I found myself cursing as another driver edged forward to refuse to let me in. Not my finest moment. Some interesting stats according to Canadaโ€™s Journal of Public…

Sudbury – A Big Town With A Small Town Feel
I just returned from our Sudbury office. I am always happy to go there because while it is a big town you get that small town feel. People are extremely welcoming and friendly. Which is great but can often create a problem from a personal injury perspective. Far be it from me to criticize, but…
