Last week the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT) released an
important decision in favour of one of our clients that will help
other severely injured accident victims. The LAT handles disputes
whereby injured individuals have been denied accident benefits by
their auto insurance companies.
Advocating for fairness: LAT decision gives accident
victims greater authority
In this particular case, our firm applied to the LAT on behalf
of our client, named only by her initials P.L.F.R., because Intact
Insurance had denied she was catastrophically impaired.
The applicant suffered multiple life-threatening injuries when
she was involved in a multi-vehicle collision on October 2, 2015.
In particular, P.L.F.R. suffered from bleeding in the lining of her
brain with a deep laceration to her scalp that left her skull
exposed. She also sustained a number of pelvic fractures and a
severe abdominal wound, which required her to be airlifted from a
local hospital to a major trauma
