Huge shoutout to our amazing lawyer, Laura Emmett, for her insightful presentation at the Osgoode Accident Benefits 2025 conference last week! She shared key takeaways on the top cases from the past year

Great work, Ryland MacDonald! In this recent LAT decision, the applicant was found ineligible for IRBs, and Wawanesa’s denial of 7 section 25 assessments was upheld. #TheSBAWay canlii.ca/t/k8c6x

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

If you're worried about vaccine availability moving forward talk to your pediatricians. While there is a routine schedule, there is flexibility. For example Gardasil is usually given at 11 but can be dosed as early as 9. MMR is given at 12 and 48 months but dose 2 can be given earlier.

Spread the word! #economicblackout

Congrats to Lisa Armstrong on her well-earned win in Ulaj v. Wawanesa Mutual Insurance Company, 2024 ONLAT 22-004524/AABS - R! The Reconsideration clarifies that an OCF-3 is not certified medical evidence and doesn’t create a rebuttable presumption of entitlement. Well done, Lisa! canlii.ca/t/k7xjg

Just another reason why I LOVE being Canadian.

Buying Canadian is more than a choice—it’s a commitment to jobs, communities, and our future! 🇨🇦💪 Every dollar spent on Canadian-made products supports local businesses, strengthens our economy, and helps farmers & manufacturers thrive. Let’s keep it local! #SupportLocal #MadeInCanada #BuyCanadian

Congratulations to Julianne Brimfield on a successful decision! In Bai v Cooperators General Insurance Company, 2024 CanLII 118803 (ON LAT), the LAT found that the psychological pre-screen report was insufficient to prove a psychological impairment, keeping the claimant within the MIG. #TheSBAWay

Do you know the difference? 🇨🇦 Understanding the labels 'Made in Canada' vs. 'Product of Canada' is key to supporting Canadian businesses and making informed choices. Every purchase matters! 💪🍁 #MadeInCanada #ProductOfCanada #SupportLocal #Canada #LocalBusiness #CanadianMade #CanadaSky

New Blog Alert by Stas Bodrov: The Ontario Court of Appeal affirmed that an incident can be both an “accident” and not an “accident” under the SABS at the same time—a legal paradox worthy of Schrödinger’s cat! sbalawyers.ca/accident-ben... #TheSBAWay

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

If Canadian universities had a bit of vision, they would be launching a Manhattan project to poach every US-based top researcher. And the federal government would be drastically expanding tri-council funding and creating an expedited review process for those holding NSF and similar grants.
