A recent decision reminds claimants and their counsel that injured people can be declared “catastrophically impaired” without losing all useful functioning, says Toronto personal injury lawyer Fabio Longo.
In the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO) case, the director’s delegate upheld an arbitrator’s decision to designate Longo’s client catastrophically impaired under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS), after the woman’s insurer appealed the original decision, citing concerns about her continued post-accident abilities.
