Letter from the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association to Provincial Candidates

Wednesday, September 26, 2007

In light of the recent Provincial elections in Ontario the President of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association, Richard Halpern has sent a message to the candidates.

The letter is a summary of the history of the current regime in place for those injured in motor vehicle accidents.

Also, the letter urges reform to the harsh legislative limitations with respect to auto insurance. I think the message sent by Mr. Halpern is excellent and compassionate and I hope whoever is elected will give serious thought and debate to the issues raised by him.

It is important that we become active in the electoral process by participating at local party events with prospective candidates and question and recommend improvements and concerns about the auto insurance industry.
