Insurance Law

The Shibley Righton LLP Insurance Lawyers provide full litigation services to individuals, corporations and insurers for all matters relating to insurance law. The firm is recognized within the legal community and by the Ontario judiciary as having a formidable strength and depth of expertise in the field of insurance litigation.

Our Insurance Group areas of concentration includes a full spectrum of insurance related litigation including all types of claims involving bodily injury, property damage, commercial property & casualty claims, product liability, coverage opinions, subrogation claims, statutory accident benefits, short-term and long-term disability and life insurance claims.

The Insurance Lawyers and staff at Shibley Righton LLP are dedicated to the delivery of excellence in client service. We strive to meet our commitment to excellence by maintaining timely, high quality legal services beginning with the development of a practical and effective litigation strategy during the initial file evaluation. We strive to implement and adjust the litigation strategy as the file evolves and as the case circumstances dictate. Our objective is to achieve early file settlement/closure, on reasonable terms, favourable to our clients through negotiation and/or alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, where applicable.  Sometimes an early resolution is not possible and the Insurance Lawyers at Shibley Righton LLP have the experience to see the matter through trial.

The Insurance Lawyers have appeared regularly as advocates on behalf of clients at mediations, arbitrations, civil court trials and appeals before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Ontario Divisional Court and the Ontario Court of Appeal and various commission or tribunal proceedings.
