Establishing Fault in an Auto Accident in Ontario
The process of establishing fault for an auto accident involves identifying who acted negligently or ‘carelessly.’ It is never easy to tell which driver or entity was responsible for a crash and, therefore, it is in your best interest to consult with an experienced lawyer. Complicating things further is the possibility that multiple parties may be to blame for the accident.

Expanding Scope of Practice
The Minister of Health has asked the College to submit regulations to enable an expanded scope of practice for pharmacists to ensure that patients have streamlined care pathways that make connections easier in the health care system, and that there is access to minor and routine care in the community.

Pre Accident Medical Records Are Not Producible “as of right, or on demand” in Injury Claims
In today’s case (Holmberg v. McMullen) the Plaintiff suffered “significant injuries” as a result of two vehicle collisions and sued for damages. In litigation the Defendants requested various pre accident medical records and pharmacological records arguing that when serious injuries are alleged such documents must be produced. A Master disagreed and dismissed the application. The Master’s decision was appealed which was also dismissed.
