The system is in need of an overhaul. When the same driver driving the same car pays a 50 per cent higher premium for living across the street, there’s something wrong. The insurance companies will suggest that across the street has more accidents. That’s not the reason the rates are higher.

You have two years from the date of denial to sue the insurance company. It’s the law, plain and simple. If you don’t sue within two years from the date of denial, there is a very good chance that your case will get dismissed for failing to commence your claim within time.
There is no denying that we live in a new age of social media, where expressing your inner most thoughts and personal feelings to an online audience is just plain normal.
While it may be tempting to speak out about the trials and tribulations you encounter with your ex spouse following the breakdown of your relationship, airing your frustrations online can cost you a whole lot more than you think …

Sforza, 2016 ONCA 251, the Plaintiff brought an action for damages arising from injuries he sustained in a car accident. Before the trial of the tort action, he settled his accident benefits claim for the following amounts:
In the recent case (Bains v. Antle) the Plaintiff was injured in a collision and sued for damages.

Master Harper dismissed the application finding the Defendant was too late and waited at their peril.
The term opioid refers to all compounds that bind to opiate receptors. Conventionally, the term opiate can be used to describe those opioids that are alkaloids, derived from the opium poppy; these include morphine and codeine. Opioids include semi-synthetic opiates, i.e., drugs that are synthesized from naturally occurring opiates (such as heroin from morphine and oxycodone from thebaine), as well as synthetic opioids such as methadone, fentanyl, and propoxyphene. The term narcotic is a legal designation and should not be used in the clinical setting; it refers to opioids and a few other drugs that are grouped with the opioids by law enforcement.

Mild forms of brain injuries are often described as invisible because they do not appear on traditional medical scans. Using advanced MRI techniques, the authors of the Neurotrauma study were able to make the once-invisible – visible. Quite notably, the study found that the brains of athletes who had a history of concussion had visible decreases in brain volume and blood flow as compared to those athletes who had not experienced concussion.
