Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers News

Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers was recently featured in 3 news articles regarding different legal subjects in Ontario.

Pedestrian Injuries in Toronto

Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers have found pedestrian injuries occur in communities throughout Ontario. Pedestrians often suffer severe injuries, and in cases involving a motorist and pedestrian the big question is: “who’s to blame?” Drivers must take extra caution with regards to pedestrians who are more vulnerable to injury than anyone in a motor vehicle. Many factors contribute to pedestrian injuries, such as the driver’s failure to yield, vehicle speed, pedestrian distractions, pedestrians crossing against the signal, pedestrians crossing at mid-block, driver distraction, pedestrian disabilities, driver and/or pedestrians under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and old age.

Driver Safety and Tort Laws

Vehicular accidents happen often, and they often result in severe damages to all parties involved. Most of the time, people don’t know how to get their life back on track. In unfortunate times like these, one can count on the expertise of personal injury lawyers. One of Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers most experienced lawyers, Rose Leto, talks about avoiding these kinds of situations and changes in tort law.

Personal injury law in Canada is different than in the United States and other countries. In Canada, claims are limited. A tort claim for a personal injury needs to pass a threshold of severe and permanent impairment. The injuries must be severe and must impact a person’s life acutely.

Icicle Liabilities in Toronto

Winter weather brings slippery sidewalks and roads, but these are not the only risks associated with winter. Another danger is icicles. They are pretty to look at but deadly when they fall. They hang from homes and commercial buildings. They are formed when snow refreezes as it melts off rooftops. They can cause damage to the building and cause chunks of ice to crash to the sidewalks, entryways, and streets. They can cause severe injuries and even death.

That's the most terrifying thing on earth. She was actually unconscious after it happened and was bleeding, and we were worried that she had died.

Leslie Miller's long-haired Chihuahua Aloha is blind in one eye after a brutal attack last month by an off-leash boxer in their local park.

He grabbed her whole head and the vet later said that he was attempting to snap her neck.

And now her almost $3,000 in vet bills are piling up. And lastly, says the other dog has caused problems in the neighborhood before. She wants to hold its owners accountable.

Neinstein Testimonial: John and Linda were in a car collision and hired Greg Neinstein

In today's episode of Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers, Testimonial: John and Linda were in a car collision and hired Greg Neinstein. Listen to the podcast or watch the video podcast on Vimeo.

Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers Testimonial: John and Linda were in a car collision and hired Greg Neinstein video's Podcast.

Read the Transcript below.

We're on our way to dance competition for my daughter. And the car was full. We had my whole family in there, and we're about five minutes out, and we went. We're just going through a green light, and the car on the other side decided to make a left turn in front of us. And I had no time to stop, and I jammed on the brakes. And before I knew that we hit him, we hit him so hard that their car actually flipped. After the impact, your airbags went off. I was a little confused that I look over, and my wife is crying, and in a way, she wanted to get out of the car, like my wife's neck was broken.

So he went around the car and then he opened the door and took me out. And I walked around maybe three, four steps, and then I kind of fell to my knees, and I fell to the ground.

John's uncle knew I guess, of Greg and his staff. And he recommended them to us. And they came to visit us; I think it was one weekend. I think it was a Saturday or Sunday. Shortly after I came out of the hospital, I really liked Greg. He was a very personable type of guy. He was very, very nice. And he made us feel that like we were going to be well taken care of cause as John mentioned earlier, we didn't have a clue. We didn't know what to do.

Within less than a week, we had a team of advisers, doctors, and everything that we're looking after. Lynda. He was going to make sure Linda got to see all the best doctors and made sure, you know, what any problems she had. He knows somebody to address it. And he set us up with a social worker that really sat down with our entire family, talked about the accident, helped us deal with it.

I feel grateful to them for everything. I really do, cause if it wasn't for them, I don't know where I'd be right now. They made a big difference in my life. They really, really did, and Greg's a sweetheart. He's an absolute angel. Anytime I needed him. And just to talk for any kind of, any reason, he was always there. I was very reassuring. I was very healthful.

You never want to go through something like that. But when you do go through something like that, you want somebody like Greg Neinstein, from Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers, on your side that will, you know, be there as support. You know, he's the type of guy, he's more like a friend than like a lawyer.

I would highly recommend Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers. He's awesome. He's totally amazing and his staff is just really, really great. They really are.

Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyer's Head of Medical Malpractice, Duncan Embury, discusses medical errors with Global News

In today's episode of Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers, the Head of Neinstein's Medical Malpractice, Duncan Embury, discusses medical errors with Global News. Listen to the podcast or watch the video podcast on Vimeo.

Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyer's, head of Medical Malpractice, Duncan Embury discusses medical errors with Global News

Read Neinstein's Transcript of the Podcast below.

How much should we actually worry about medical errors? We're going to dig deeper into the issue. Bring in, Duncan Embury. He's a medical malpractice lawyer. Thanks for joining us. Give me a quick list here of what we're talking about in terms of errors.

Errors can be everything from medication errors to the wrong diagnosis to early discharge, surgeries that go wrong. There's the list goes on.

And we talked about better communication handoff, as they call it. Technically, you agree that's the issue — more times than not.

I would say that is the key issue that would prevent most medical errors.

Which sounds like a no brainer but is also evidence at the same time everybody's strained in the medical system, including the medical staff. It's probably contributing to it.

Right. I think that's the biggest contributor. I think as technology advances, and people get busier, the ability to actually sit down and communicate a person, a person gets less.

If anything, what's frustrating is, it seems to me this is preventable. It's just if it's used common sense which when you're under stress, of course, you're strained as medical professionals. We know that's an issue. Nevermind the patients that we talked about earlier in their families. It's not that simple. So, is the government doing enough?

Is it the government, or is it healthcare practitioners themselves? I mean, I think we have a strain on our system in terms of the patient population that healthcare practitioners have to see. It cuts down their ability to communicate directly.

So, I mean, you know this, you're a lawyer practicing medical malpractice law in Ontario, you know, the inside scoop. How do we fix it?

That's a hard question. I think it's a situation that needs fixing. I think patients can play a part in this too. In terms of communicating better with their own healthcare practitioners, it is all about communication, after all. And the more we ask questions, the more it facilitates answers.

I'm a big proponent of empowered patients, having family members who've gone through it, and you can't rely on the medical professional who has a list this long. You know, I mean, a to-do list and they're all for all these patients to ask questions, but where do you know not, you don't want to cross that line?

Well, I think. A lot of people are so scared of crossing the line. They never asked the questions, and I think healthcare practitioners will tell someone where they've crossed the line, but they need to ask the questions in order to get the answers first.

As I always like to say, better safe than sorry. More so, in this case.

Yes.

I appreciate your insight and time tonight. My pleasure.

Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers' Rose Leto talks about jaywalking with Global News Toronto

In today's episode of Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers' Rose Leto talks about jaywalking with Global News Toronto. Listen to the podcast or watch the video

Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers' Rose Leto talks about jaywalking with Global News Toronto video's Podcast.

Read the Transcript Podcast below.

Rose Leto:

So have you done it? Cause I've done it.

Yes. I mean, everybody does it.

When was your first time?

Kind of as a kid? Probably.

We're talking about jaywalking, and it's everywhere.

No one really knows what the rules are, and I think that would be helpful if they were much clearer.

Pedestrian advocate, Dillon Reed feels it's not such a bad thing as long as you're not overstepping the law.

If you're at a crosswalk and you start walking when that "Do not walk" sign comes up, that's a ticketable offense.

But if you're mid-block, it gets a little gray because according to the law, as long as you're not interfering with traffic and yield the right away, you may not be running, or should I say walking afoul of any laws.

Nowhere is it defined how far from a crosswalk do you need to be to have to use the crosswalk, and nowhere is it defined what yield right of way means and how far that car has to be.

If cars to slow down for you, that's dangerous.

In Toronto, the number of traffic-related pedestrian injuries has fallen between 2010 and 2014. The number of fatalities, however, was up during that same timeframe.

The vast majority of pedestrians who are hit by cars are crossing with the light out of the marked crosswalk. And they're hit by cars that are turning.

Now even though data reveals that pedestrian collisions with vehicles are more common right here at the intersection, they're more fatal here, mid-block.

The research found that mid-block collisions are five times more likely to result in a fatality. At mid-block, vehicles are moving faster, so jaywalking exposes the pedestrians to greater risk.

A gamble people often take.

An intersection even while doing this interview on jaywalking. Notice the guy behind our subject.

People crossing the middle of the block is something that happens in cities all over the world as part of the urban experience.

One that should be exercised with care, namely when there are no cars around and in a city like Toronto. Good luck with us. Peter Kim, Global News.

Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers Speaks About Icicle Liability with Citynews

In today's episode of Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers, Neinstein's Daniel Michaelson Speaks About Icicle Liability with Citynews. Listen to the podcast or watch the video podcast on Vimeo.

Neinstein's Daniel Michaelson Speaks About Icicle Liability with Citynews video's Podcast.

Read the Transcript below.

That looks a little dangerous, I'd say.

Just look up, and you're bound to spot one.

They look pretty.

Icicles are nice to look at, but if one of these comes crashing down around your home or business, someone could get hurt. According to this Toronto bylaw, if the icicle is on your property, the responsibility to remove it is on you.

As a property owner, it's up to you to ensure your home or business is safe, and that could mean removing the icicles from way up there or simply blocking off the area.

General Legal Standard just has to be reasonably safe in the circumstance. It's not perfect. People, business owners are not held up to a standard of perfection. It's not an insurance company where you get injured or have some damage, and they pay if it's in the policy. But as to be reasonably safe. Putting up the signs is as a first step Mike, much like a slippery floor sign.

If your property isn't hazard-free, the city can issue you a ticket.

Our first step in enforcement compliances education and informing people, but we will, if it's an immediate risk or hazard, we'll deal with it immediately. Issuing tickets is not going to remedy the unsafe situation. Doing the remedial action is how we mitigate the unsafe conditions.

These are not only a danger to those passing by. It can also mean you have a problem with your home.

Generally, the formation of large icicles on the roof as a sign of a roof that's not insulated properly. So you have the warm air from inside the building envelope, getting up into the roof space, which then melts the snow that's on the roof deck, and as the snow runs down and gets past the outside wall of the building to the unheated part of the roof, that's where it will start to freeze again.

City officials suggest removing the icicles because once they melt, there is a threat of water damage to your property.

And if you do plan on cleaning off the icicles, make sure the area around you is clear and board up the windows to ensure that no ice goes flying through them. As you there mutual, I'm Stella Acquisto, CityNews.

Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers on CHCH Morning Live - Driver Safety and Tort Claims video's Podcast.

Read the Transcript Podcast below.

You've been in a serious accident, don't know where to turn to get your life back on track. And that's where a personal injury lawyer. Here we can help, and we've got an expert, actually two experts right here from Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers. Thanks so much for joining us. You guys specialize in this stuff. So, uh, Rose Leto.

Thanks for joining us and Ruth Fernandez, as well as we're going to talk about avoiding these kinds of situations, but also there's been many changes in. Tort law and other, you know, personal injury law here in Canada, which is certainly a different situation than across the border. And of course, even the optics of it because they're so, uh, you know, it's more litigious across the border, but also just in terms of the advertising, it's so aggressive, you know.

Uh, but that perception is correct. There is much more in terms of claims across the borders. And there absolutely is. And you hear a lot in the media about the amounts of claims and in Canada. Claims are limited. So we don't see the same numbers as we do in the United States. Let's break it down just in terms of the criteria with personal injury.

So to make a claim, a tort claim for personal injury, you have to have a threshold of a serious and permanent impairment. So there has to be some permanence. To your injuries, some scarring, permanent injuries, stuff that's not going to go away in time. And, uh, and that has affected your life in a serious way and your money earning capability.

Absolutely. So that's one of the major factors. We look at someone's ability to return to the same job, to be gainfully employed and to support their family. . Um, in Canada, is it usually a, why is it the gamut in terms of injuries, but is it a largely, uh, I mean, what are you seeing in terms of claims? Can you get to see everything from a whiplash and a muscle strain up to a full brain injury and paraplegia and quadriplegia?

Full gambit. Now there has been changes as well. Let's talk about some of the thresholds. Yeah. So one of the major changes that we've seen recently is with the accident benefits and that being, the insurance companies have reduced the amount of money people could get for treatment. So $3,500 for minor injuries and they've reduced the maximum claims and non-catastrophic injuries to $50,000.

And that's not a lot of money when someone needs some, um, medical and rehabilitation, no, it's not. That'll, uh, burn up very fast. Very quickly. Yeah, no. In terms of larger claims in deductibles or anything, we need to know in terms of that no oil, mostly for tort claims, you're limited to the policy limits and, and most people in Ontario at least have at least a million dollars.

And we see that that's not always enough money. So again, yeah, because there's huge, constant evolves, right? So people should consider when assessing their policies, whether to increase their limits, to have more available to them. Yeah, cause I'm sure there's been many cases where, I mean, you see her in the front lines of this and you can just see how fast that money goes and how huge these claims are.

Right? So there's lots of information online and we'll get the website up on screen. But, so Ruth, we have you here as well because we avoiding claims like this, you know, starts with prevention and you're an expert on that. Absolutely. I mean, heading into a long weekend, we always advise people to be extra careful while driving to the cottage or to fun activity.

We want people to be really alert. Um, and prevention is a good. Huge part of not, you know, getting involved in a collision. So while people are on the highway, we're encouraging them to yield the right of way or, you know, signal properly while making chain lane and lane changes. Yeah. Uh, we also want people to be extra careful while driving around trucks or you know, cars pulling trailers with boats and that sort of thing.

It was just that split second moment. You know, they changes the lifetime. And I know a 19, you're very proactive just in terms of a brain injury, conferences and that sort of thing. Um, and, uh, actually, uh, we should mention too, there's actually an app that you guys are developing right? At 19 and associates, we've recently developed an app for people that may be involved in collisions.

It's something that you can upload to your iPhone or your Android phone, and it takes you through the entire process. It'll give you some background on our firm. It takes you, um, to a, a section of the app where you can create a report, take pictures, perhaps take a video of what's happened. The, the actual collision.

And, uh, once you're ready to submit, you know, it goes directly to our firm and it's a free consultation. So, you know, everybody can feel that, um, in anything that streamlines the process because. Absolutely it's needed. I mean, it's, it's an overwhelming process and we want people to feel a little bit more secure and knowing that their information is going to the right hands.

And what we need to remember is that we provide free consultation. So money should never be an issue for anyone looking for advice over the telephone. It's not a concern. We have a toll free number on a website, so long distance charges don't need to be incurred. And we traveled through all of Ontario Sierra clients and of course you specialize in this.

This is a personal injury. What you do. Yeah. Right. https://neinstein.ca there's a website right there, Rose Leto, Ruth Fernandez. Thanks so much for joining us. So yeah, and safe driving all summer long.

Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers Featured on Daytime Toronto

In today's episode of Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers was Featured on Daytime Toronto. Listen to the podcast or watch the video podcast on Vimeo.

Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers video's Podcast.

Read the Transcript Podcast Below

Well, I, one of the stats I mentioned earlier in the show was that. A traumatic brain injury is the leading killer and disabler of Canadians under the age of 40. And the statistics go on and on about a brain injury and how it affects the lives of Canadians and Torontonians of course. So we've got a great event coming up.

We're going to tell you about, you can support people with brain injuries, uh, the committee member from BIST, Obeya, Mixon and mango Ruth Fernandez, and the chair of best, a charity event. Greg night's theme. Good to have you both here. Thanks for having us. Best is brain injury society of Toronto near the other one is the Ontario brain injury association.

Exactly what is best. Well, this is a, the local chapter of the Ontario brain injury association. So, uh, there were several chapters, 26 chapters all across Ontario and the trial chapter. And these chapters are aimed at helping survivors of brain injuries, find a peer support groups, resources. And help them get integrated back into the community after they've received a head injury.

And we are a, that was just one statistic I gave. The numbers on. Brain injuries are shocking, right? 18,000 Ontarians were, uh, will suffer a brain injury. And that means, you know, in one year, every hour six Canadians are afflicted with a brain injury. And those stats are quite high when you consider, you know, all, all diseases in all sorts of fields.

Um, it happens too. You know, people that we know, one in 10 people that you know will suffer a brain injury this year. So it's quite, it's a big, huge problem in our society and for kids especially, it's so important that they wear a helmet. We know when they're practicing sports and that they're taking all precautions to be safe.

So one of the things that bestow by it does, is help with awareness because there is not enough awareness. And unfortunately, this is an . They just been started in the last 10 15 years. Um, and it's probably shocked when you hear the numbers and the lack of information people have about head injuries considering all the other amazing fundraisers that we, uh, see across Ontario.

And when you see the numbers of head injuries, it's shocking that there is not much awareness about this disease. Head injury can be so debilitating and it could affect you for the rest of your life. I find it often does. It often does. You know, usually patients will present with communication, um, disabilities.

And you know, it's always is not always very clear if you have a brain injury, so you break an arm, it's, it's clear to see exactly what somebody might be stumbling with their words. You might and you don't do it together. Yeah. You don't often pick up on that unless you know the person for a really long time.

And you sort of should watch out for mood swings and you know, maybe they're not communicating properly and things that you didn't bother them before. Sort of irritating to them now. So those are all sort of things that you know, people might look out for. And what about children? If your child falls off the bike, they brush themselves off, the crying stops.

You think everything's fine, what should we be looking out for? So difficult to identify brain injuries, especially in children because they're not able to articulate what they're feeling. Uh, so word, finding problems with sleeping, uh, problems with, um, being able to eat an appetite. It's so difficult that I don't think there's any, uh, harm in finding early on in, uh, seeking medical attention regarding just in case.

Cause the, the downside is, uh. Is huge. And people with brain injuries, it usually takes a, within the first year is the most productive in getting rehabilitation. So if you don't identify this within the first year, you're losing out an ability for your brain, which is a muscle to start rehabilitating itself.

Right. Really. So the brain is capable of re re regenerating some of those injured areas. Absolutely. Absolutely. You know, I was a, I was just at a talk with dr tatter and he says, automatically if you know your child has had a concussion or he's hit his head, we absolutely know for sure as the fact that it is a brain injury.
