Statutory Accident Benefits

The lawyers of Flaherty Dow Elliott & McCarthy are uniquely qualified to handle accident benefits claims and have extensive experience in this area.  Our lawyers regularly mediate and arbitrate accident benefit claims before the Financial Services Commission of Ontario. The firm has also been a regular participant in the FSCO Bar - Dispute Resolution Group Forum.

In 1993 Canada Law Book published FSCO Motor Vehicle Insurance Law & Practice by James Flaherty and Catherine Zingg. Summaries of significant cases from the Financial Services Commission of Ontario, private arbitrations and the courts are found in this book. In addition, there is a Table of Special Awards, a chart of Judicial Review decisions and text commentary.

After The Honourable Mr. Flaherty became a Cabinet Minister and no longer participated in the firm, Catherine Zingg assumed responsibility for the book. It is updated on a quarterly basis.

Catherine also publishes a monthly accident benefits newsletter which is available on our web site.
