Maria Gilmour
Mr. Oatley and his team are the epitome of professionalism. From the first meeting with Mr. Oatley at Sunnybrook Hospital I was treated with respect. This was the first time our family was in a position which was totally unfamiliar to us, but the confusion, questions and the unknown were clarified throughout by Mr. Oatley. We could feel the true concern for us and our family. We were comforted when we had fears. Mr. Oatley listened, understood and advised us of the steps he would be taking. The inordinate amount of work required to prepare my daughter's case is mind boggling. The outcome of our settlement was well beyond our expectations.
Nicole Gilmour was a 21 year old single mother who suffered a devastating brain injury when a vehicle in which she was a passenger smashed into a tree. The driver, who was intoxicated, was killed. An action was brought against the estate of the driver and against the tavern that served alcohol to the driver. There were challenges with damages as well as liability because before the crash Nicole suffered from a neurological condition, which the brain injury made worse. Also, Nicole and and her mother Maria cared for Nicole's son who was intellectually challenged.
Matt Cunningham
It is a pleasure for me to recommend Roger Oatley and his team. When my son was hit by a car, my entire life changed completely. Because of my son's brain injury, it has become a full time occupation for me to care for him. I do not know how I would manage without the regular monthly income we receive as a result of the settlement of the lawsuit. I cannot recommend Mr. Oatley and his caring team of professionals too highly. The details of my son's accident and the complexities of his injuries made my case very challenging. Because of the skill and persistence of Mr. Oatley and his team, my son has a future.
Matt, a nine year old boy was struck by a truck while riding his bicycle. Matt suffered from Attention Deficit Disorder before suffering a brain injury in this collision. Because of the combined effects of the ADD and the traumatic brain injury, Matt requires 24 hour supervision and will never be able to work to earn a living.
Pierrette Langlois
We highly recommend Roger Oatley and his staff. Not only are they extremely efficient and highly skilled in their professions, but they are people of integrity and great respect. We appreciated the fact that they gave our case undivided attention whenever we met. We were always free to ask all our questions. They were always available to us.
Because of their specialty in personal injuries and their efficiency, they provided us with access to highly skilled medical professionals otherwise not available to us. Their team work is very evident in the creation of a positive environment for each case they accept. Thank you!
Pierrette sustained very serious injuries in a winter car crash. She suffered a below the knee amputation and serious injuries to her other foot. At issue were the extent of her damages, and in particular whether she was catastrophically impaired under current insurance legislation. An animation was developed to demonstrate the extent of her impairments.
Despite opinions to the contrary, her case was settled on the basis of her being catastrophically impaired.
Greg Goldberg
I find it hard to believe that in just two days I will have reached the 10th anniversary of my accident.
I wish to thank you for giving a wonderful chance to live a healthy and productive life.
Currently, I am doing many speaking engagements for head injury associations and clinics around Victoria and Vancouver. Oh my, they even pay for all my expenses and let me bring books along. It is so rewarding inspiring others and putting smiles on their faces. Giving back is very important to me.
Greg Goldberg was a 31 year old high functioning high school teacher when a car crash destroyed his life and his career. He suffered a catastrophic brain injury. As a result of his brain injury, he is left with numerous impairments that impact on all aspects of his life.
Omar Cushnie
Throughout the case we were treated with respect and the lawyers and staff seemed genuinely concerned with our well being (not just the financial outcome).
We would recommend the firm because of the positive outcome. The staff has many years of experience, and a proven track record.
Omar Cushnie was a seat belted passenger in a vehicle that was to be the subject of a feature article in an upcoming edition of a magazine published by his employer. The driver completely lost control of the vehicle, slammed into a hydro pole and was killed instantly. Omar sustained a significant brain injury and serious orthopaedic and other physical injuries in the crash leaving him permanently disabled and suffering a drastically reduced competitive advantage in the workplace.
Trevor Boasley
Both lawyers that worked on the case were incredible. The outcome of Trevor's case was much more than I ever thought it would be.
I really wasn't sure what to expect when I took my son's case to Mr. Oatley. The first meeting was very informative. At no time did Mr. Oatley give me false expectations. I appreciate his honesty.
During the past years we were always treated with respect. The staff was always friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I really believe the lawyers and staff definitely went the extra mile for us.
10 year old Trevor Boasley was in charge of monitoring a school wide initiative recycling program at the request of his teacher. Trevor was alone and unsupervised on the top floor of the school when he fell or slid down the banisters and hit his head against the concrete floor. He suffered a severe closed head injury. As a result, of his brain injury he suffered and will continue to suffer emotional, cognitive and memory impairments for the rest of his life. Trevor’s mother, Valerie, resides with her son and has provided him with and will continue to provide him with nursing and housekeeping services on a daily basis.
Sharon Kruger
Right from the very beginning Mr. Oatley laid out very clearly what he felt the outcome of my case would be and he was right on target. He prepared me for what I could expect in a possible court setting and I felt very confident leaving the whole matter in his hands.
I have to say that the group of people who represent this law firm are the kindest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Whenever I had a question or concern, they always had the time to spend with me.
I would without hesitation recommend both Roger Oatley and Robert Durante to anyone who finds themselves in a position like mine.
Sharon Kruger suffered severe injuries in a motorcycle collision that occurred on August 27, 2005. She suffered serious orthopaedic injuries and a brain injury. Her husband was also killed in the crash. Sharon is 60 years old.
Tracy Gow
I was exceptionally pleased with the outcome and it exceeded my expectations. I was impressed with all the hard working people involved. Everyone I dealt with was looking out for my best interests and everyone was knowledgable.
Without everyones effort, this would not have turned out as well. I thank you all for being behind me.
I would recommend Roger Oatley and Bill Teggart- they are knowledgeable and straight forword. They have your best interest in mind at all times, and they will work hard to get the best for you.
