In Ontario, nervous shock (psychological or mental injury) claims may be available to a bystander present at a traumatic event, usually resulting in serious or fatal injuries to the victim caused by a negligent act or wrongdoing. We typically see these claims where the bystander witnesses a serious accident and assists the victim, resulting in the victim’s death or severe injuries. However, there are certain qualifying conditions for claims in nervous shock cases, and succ...ess can be difficult. Personal Injury Lawyer Danielle Bartlett answers the question "Can Canadian bystanders be compensated for nervous shock and other psychological injuries that they might suffer as a result of witnessing a traumatic incident?" https://www.gluckstein.com/the-murder-of-george-floyd-and-/

Marked annually in Canada on April 28, the National Day of Mourning is dedicated to remembering those who have lost their lives, or suffered injury or illness on the job or due to a work-related tragedy. Today, all of us remember and honour those lives lost or injured in the workplace, especially those on the frontlines of the Covid19 Pandemic, and we continue to be committed to doing what we can to support health and safety in the workplace and prevent further injuries, illnesses and deaths. #DayOfMourning

Have you or anyone you love ever found themselves unable to enter a premises because it wasn't accessible for people using a mobility device? After an accident left him in a wheelchair Luke Anderson became all too familiar with encountering barriers in the built environment and this became a growing source of frustration. Talking with others including good friend and co-founder Michael Hopkins, they realized this was a citywide access issue that needed to be addressed for pe...ople of all abilities. This got them thinking, and in the fall of 2011 the first ramp landed in front of a Toronto shop owner’s stepped entryway, brightly painted and emblazoned with the now iconic STOPGAP.CA stencil It became clear from the incredibly positive outcome of the first Community Ramp Project that similar projects could be launched in different communities across the city. It also proved to have huge potential in raising awareness about accessibility and inclusion on a national scale. StopGap ramps can now be seen all over Canada! www.stopgap.ca

Happy Family Day from our Nicholson Gluckstein family to yours!

From all of us at Nicholson Gluckstein Lawyers Happy Chinese New Year! Wishing you all the best luck in the Year of the OX!

We are always so grateful and humbled when we receive testimonials from our clients. Richard Clarke recently sent us this wonderful testimonial and we are sharing it, with his permission. "It’s a pleasure to write about my experience as Charles’s client and his and his team’s excellent work in reaching a financial agreement with our insurance company over the last year and half. During this time my wife and I had the opportunity to meet with Charles a number of times and to b...enefit from his advice and guidance. In all of these meetings he was consistently helpful, informative, considerate of our situation and of us, and effective in keeping us informed and prepared. As our representative in meetings with our insurance company he was a calming and efficient negotiator and leader on our behalf. He was also invariably available for us when we had questions or concerns. He was prompt in answering calls and messages either directly or through one of his excellent assistants, all of whom we found helpful and considerate. I can recommend Charles and his team very highly should you need assistance. If we were to require help ourselves again Charles would be our choice". See more
