Aimee’s clear, straightforward and direct approach to insurance disputes has lead to numerous successes. Over twenty years of experience and advocacy in the defence of motor vehicle accident tort claims, statutory accident benefits, and occupier’s liability matters attracts a satisfied clientele.
Her successful advocacy before the Superior Court of Justice, the Financial Services Commission of Ontario, and private Arbitrations, is enhanced by persuasive day to day negotiation and effective mediation advocacy.
Aimee’s practice has lead to matters involving close examination of potentially suspect claims for insurers in a fair and meticulous manner, and includes recent decisions involving a preliminary issue concerning the definition of accident (Sadozai v. Aviva , FSCO, 2013), and a loss transfer appeal from Arbitrator’s decision (Markel v. Certas, SCJ, 2011).
