Drawing on his extensive experience representing clients who have suffered a catastrophic injury and are faced with exorbitant costs of recovery, in this new publication Catastrophic Impairment Law in Canada, lawyer and author Andrew L. Rudder undertakes a comprehensive examination of catastrophic impairment law in Canada, both on a provincial and a national level.

Informative and Comprehensive
Catastrophic Impairment Law in Canada would be a useful acquisition for a range of readers, including:
