Sue Chen Lawyers will help you prepare your important documents and make informed decisions for your medical and enduring power of attorney. Enduring Power of Attorney An Enduring Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives another person the authority to make decisions on your behalf. The individuals designated in a Power of Attorney can manage your finances and take on more responsibilities on your behalf. For example, a Real Estate Power of Attorney may designate an individual to manage, buy and sell your properties. Preparing an Enduring Power of Attorney will help you and your family manage your finances and property if you are unable to. Talk to Sue Chen Lawyers to discuss the best arrangements for your Power of Attorney. Power of Attorney for Personal Care Your Power of Attorney for Personal Care is a legal document designed to express your will with regard to your health care. Where a Last Will and Testament takes effect after you die, your personal health care Power of Attorney has effect while you are still alive but unable to make important decisions about your care. This Power of Attorney (which is not the same as your Continuing or Enduring Power of Attorney for Property) grants to those you trust the authority to decide matters of medical care on your behalf in circumstances where you are unable to provide informed medical consent. Your Will and Powers of Attorney are important for legal reasons – to manage your property and health and legal rights – and to give you a sense of security about your future.

Cyclists are encouraged to use the roadways and operate their bicycles as ‘vehicles’; at normal cycling velocities, they move faster than pedestrians, increasing the risk of collision with careless drivers; and yet they are relatively unprotected. When hit by cars or trucks, they are bound to be hurt, sometimes very seriously. Regrettably, the law can make it difficult for cyclists to realise full compensation for the injuries and impairments they suffer as a result of accidents with motor vehicles. Motorists’ lawyers often argue that cyclists are the authors of their own misfortune, that they ought to have been more careful of their own safety. Find a Bicycle Accident Lawyer in Toronto and Vancouver The personal injury litigation lawyers at Sue Chen Lawyers, in Toronto and Vancouver, have represented cyclists of all ages, many of whom have been catastrophically hurt.

No person or group – public or private – can act outside the constraints of our rules and regulations. Administrative law concerns the actions and decisions of government agencies. In the 21st century, you – as an individual or business – are more likely to appear before an administrative tribunal than in court. Your legal rights will be adjudicated by an administrative decision-maker rather than a judge. These decision-makers, in settings such as a labour board, professional regulatory body or human rights commission, are, by the government legislation, created and given authority to hear and decide cases in which they are seen to have some expertise. Our law demands they give everyone a fair hearing and come to reasonable decisions based on careful attention to facts. Administrative Lawyer Lawyers at Sue Chen have appeared before many boards and tribunals, including the Financial Services Commission of Ontario, the Licence Appeal Tribunal, the Social Benefits Tribunal, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, the Workplace Safety & Insurance Appeals Tribunal, the Health Professions Appeal & Review Board, the Health Services Appeal & Review Board, and the Law Society Tribunal. There are many other provincial and federal administrative law bodies in Ontario and B.C., including:·Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario·BC Human Rights Tribunal·Canada Border Services Agency·Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario and BC·Condominium Authority Tribunal·Consent and Capacity Board·Employment and Assistance Appeal Tribunal·Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada·Occupational Health and Safety Tribunal Canada·Ontario College of Teachers·Ontario Civilian Police Commission·Ontario Labour Relations Board·Real Estate Council of Ontario·Social Security Tribunal·Trade-marks Opposition Board·Workers’ Compensation Appeal Tribunal. Find an Administrative Law Lawyer If you find yourself in a situation that requires an application or response to an administrative tribunal, Sue Chen’s administrative law lawyers can help you prepare and present your case. And, later, in the event you see the hearing as having been unfair, or the decision as unreasonable or unsupported by the facts, we can take your case further – to a review by a judge of the Superior Court. https://suechen.com/personal-injury-lawyers/catastrophic-injury daily 0.75 2021-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f709ad3c22e0354a4b135e9/1612795455455-XIBS2I9VXT5YEVF0PDHJ/pexels-snapwire-310983.jpg Catastrophic Impairment - Catastrophic Accident & Impairment Everyone injured in a motor vehicle accident has, according to Ontario law, access to no-fault accident benefits. These benefits go to fund medical care and rehabilitative therapies, and to cover various other losses, for example income replacement if a claimant is unable to work due to injuries. Catastrophic Injury Settlements Accident benefits come in three sizes: the Minor Injury Guideline amounts; the non-Catastrophic amount; and, in the case of ‘Catastrophic Impairment’, an amount that is far greater, recognising the far greater needs of certain claimants. Designation of a claimant as ‘catastrophically impaired’ is made according to various criteria; not surprisingly, insurance companies are careful not to make large amounts of benefit available to those who are not so badly hurt. Find a Catastrophic Injury Lawyer The catastrophic injury lawyers at Sue Chen Lawyers have been through hundreds of disputes with insurance companies over the question of catastrophic designation. https://suechen.com/litigation/breach-of-contract daily 0.75 2021-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f709ad3c22e0354a4b135e9/1612798151060-TT7QXXS9ZF4W7Q6TEAJJ/breachofcontract.jpg Breach of Contract - Breach of Contract Breach of contract occurs when one party fails to go along with the terms of an agreement made with another party. The parties can be people or companies or other organisations. The agreement might be set down in writing or contained only in spoken words. If someone has broken an agreement with you, you have a right to seek compensation according to the law, or to have the court order the other party to stop the breach or even perform the contract as it was agreed in the first place. The remedy to which you may be entitled will depend on the circumstances. Resolution of disputes about breach of contract tend to require a close look at the words used to form the agreement, and an interpretation of what the parties took those words to mean at the time they entered into the agreement. Damages for Breach of Contract Experienced lawyers recognize there will be two sides to every breach of contract story, and it is important to understand them both – before you start to argue. As with everything we do, Sue Chen Lawyers take a team approach to understanding breach of contract cases. Differing perspectives allow us to get to grips with the merits of a case – on both sides – and to anticipate the other side’s arguments. Sue Chen Lawyers’ litigation lawyers handle breach of contract cases concerning various types of agreements, including employment contracts, commercial contracts, construction agreements, insurance contracts, contracts for sale of property or land, service agreements. There are many ways to write a contract, and many ways to breach them. Breach of Contract Lawyer Sue Chen’s breach of contract lawyers are experienced and diligent. We understand that sometimes the best advice is to settle out of court. And sometimes a disagreement over a contract will need a judge to resolve. If you need advice and representation to do with a breach of contract, call Sue Chen Lawyers. We can help. https://suechen.com/litigation/real-estate-lawyers daily 0.75 2021-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f709ad3c22e0354a4b135e9/1612797919680-OM68VYX0RMHQ71LJ6FZD/realestate.jpg Real Estate Litigation - Real Estate Litigation The sale and purchase of real estate can be straightforward. However, the agreements for purchase and sale made between seller and buyer are complicated; they involve large amounts of money and strict timelines. When to Find a Property Lawyer Both buyer and seller have obligations to be met by the closing date, and if either party fails to close the transaction, disputes arise and real estate litigation might be necessary. Where one party is ready, willing and able to close a deal on the scheduled date and the other party is not, the agreement may be seen to breached or repudiated. Failure to close can be the fault of buyer or seller. Where buyers are concerned, the most common problem is a failure to secure appropriate funding prior to the closing date. Especially in Toronto and Vancouver’s hyper-competitive real estate markets, agreements of purchase and sale are often made without condition. Where a buyer does not make it a condition of closing that adequate financing be secured, then a failure to get that financing will likely result in real estate litigation. Where the seller is concerned, the problem is often a failure to satisfy a necessary condition prior to the closing date. For example, a seller might fail to provide clear title to the property, as promised. Issues requiring litigation arise even after closing. Previously unnoticed defects in a house may give rise to a claim against the seller for misrepresentation. If the home is new, such defects may also give rise to a Tarion Warranty Claim, which covers certain defects up to $300,000. Real Estate Litigation Lawyer in Toronto and Vancouver The real estate litigation lawyers at Sue Chen Lawyers have extensive experience dealing with claims arising out of failed closings, and have successfully represented both buyers and sellers. If you were the buyer or seller of a property that failed to close, or if you think you might need advice and representation concerning any other aspect of a real estate transaction, contact Sue Chen’s real estate lawyers to discuss your options. https://suechen.com/personal-injury-lawyers/wrongful-death-law daily 0.75 2021-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f709ad3c22e0354a4b135e9/1612796770373-Z1G2XEVTTF8IOHL8T3VO/wrongfuldeath.jpg Wrongful Death - Wrongful Death Lawyer Death of a loved one is a terrible thing. Family members struggle not only with grief and emotional loss, but, in some cases, also with the loss of physical and financial contributions the deceased once made to the home. When such a death is the result of another’s wrongdoing, the struggle is all the more painful. Wrongful deaths can result from, for example, an individual’s or an institution’s negligence or breach of a statutory duty, in a health care setting or in the workplace, and in many other ways. Wrongful Death Compensation Wrongful death lawyers at Sue Chen Lawyers have been through this before – many times. We know the hardships families face in their struggle to investigate the reasons for their loss and to seek the compensation available to them according to the law. And while no amount of money will bring back a father or mother, a sibling or child, a wrongful death lawsuit can remedy the loss of income or services a family suffers.

When unprotected people are hit by cars or trucks, they are bound to be hurt, sometimes very seriously.

About Civil Fraud A lawsuit alleging fraud in civil court looks at behaviour that reasonable people would consider “dishonest” or “deceitful.” Dishonest dealing, or fraud, is a broad category of wrongful conduct, including fraudulent misrepresentation, non-disclosure of material facts, Ponzi schemes, and other wrongdoing. A legal action in civil fraud seeks to recover the assets which have been wrongfully taken and/or see damages paid to the victim(s). A criminal charge of fraud must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt, but civil fraud needs to be proved only on a balance of probabilities – does the evidence show the defendant probably committed the fraud? Civil Lawyers and Litigation Civil fraud can affect both individuals and companies and can result in significant financial loss. The civil lawyers at Sue Chen Lawyers have experience dealing with civil fraud cases and can help clients recover funds lost due to fraud. To establish the tort of civil fraud, the party alleging the fraud must establish: A false representation by the defendant Some level of knowledge of the falsehood of the representation on the part of the defendant (whether actual knowledge or mere recklessness) The false representation caused the plaintiff to act The plaintiff’s actions resulted in a loss.

Last Will and Testament A Last Will and Testament is a legal document designed to address your family’s financial future. Your Will makes sure your estate (your property and assets) will be divided among those you have chosen as your beneficiaries, and can provide for certain protections against taxation and the probate fees to be paid at the time of validating and administering the Will. Your Will also determines who will manage your property after your passing and until it has been distributed (an estate trustee or 'executor'). From time to time, the rules concerning estate taxation change. You might wish to change the beneficiaries of your will – for various reasons. You might need to name a new executor. A change in your marital status will require a review of your will. Wills Lawyer Sue Chen Lawyers will help you draft your Will and keep it current. Your Power of Attorney for Personal Care is another legal document, designed to express your will with regard to your health care. Where a Last Will and Testament takes effect after you die, your personal health care Power of Attorney has effect while you are still alive but unable to make important decisions about your care. This Power of Attorney (which is not the same as your Continuing (or Enduring) Power of Attorney for Property – see *) grants to those you trust the authority to decide matters of medical care on your behalf, in circumstances where you are unable to provide informed medical consent. Your will and powers of attorney are important for legal reasons – to manage your property and health and legal rights – and to give you a sense of security about your future.

Municipalities, businesses, and private individual homeowners are responsible at law to keep their properties and premises reasonably safe for visitors. Where the owner or occupier of any premises has allowed a hazard to exist, and that hazard results in a slip or a trip and a fall, and injuries and losses result, then the person injured has a right to claim compensation for the losses from the person responsible for the state and safety of the place where the fall occurs.

We have deep and broad experience of disputes with insurers. Many of our personal injuries clients find themselves fighting with an insurance company (theirs or a defendant’s) who refuses to see the full value of the claims advanced. Whether it's a motor vehicle accident lawsuit, a claim arising from a slip-and-fall on someone else’s property, a claim for coverage in the event of property losses due to flooding or fire, or a disputes over any other sort of loss which calls on an insurance contract for compensation, insurance companies are for-profit corporations who are jealous of their money, and they work hard not to pay it out. Insurance Claim Lawyer In the event of a disagreement over an insurance company’s ‘exposure’, you will need good lawyers to make sure you get the compensation you deserve according to the law. In most cases, insurance companies will settle with you and they will agree to reasonable compensation, but not before you (and your lawyers) have proved to them you will beat them in court. Sue Chen’s insurance litigation lawyers know insurance companies; we understand how they think and work. Moreover, we are not afraid to push them until we get the right result – a just result for you and your loved ones.

And while illness and infirmity are different for everyone and affect us in different ways, some people fall into a state of incapacity, such that they are unable to decide questions about managing personal property or about health care. Advance Care Plan Most of us would rather not think much about these things, but, in the event you do not put plans in place prior to your illness and incapacity, certain decisions about your life might be taken by the Courts. By granting trusted individuals powers of attorney, you can choose who will be your decision maker(s). Just as you do when you prepare a will, you are planning for your future. Your plans might include a continuing (or enduring) power of attorney for property, a power of attorney for personal care (health care power of attorney), and a document describing your wishes for health care at or near the end of your life, or in the event you become incapable of taking your own decisions. Sue Chen Lawyers can help. Not only do we help our clients prepare their wills, we also help with powers of attorney for property and personal care, and with advance health care directives. End-of-life care planning is a very personal process and is not easy. It is, however, an important step in achieving peace of mind as you age. You family and dearest friends, and your health care providers, can help you consider and understand the implications of incapacity due to illness or injury. Sue Chen Lawyers can provide the support you need to understand the legal implications of your wishes, and in committing your plans to writing. Advance care planning is a complicated subject. The law continues to evolve, and Courts continue to struggle with the meanings of such plans – there is no exact formula, and careful consideration must be given to the likely outcomes of your health care when it is to be based on wishes you expressed before you became ill and unable to communicate your consent. In doing this planning, you may wish to consider various interventions or non-interventions. Some people decide to set down in writing their wishes concerning Whether and when to withdraw medical treatment, Whether and when to refuse food and drink, Palliative care options, and mMedical assistance in dying.
