$1.3 million dollar judgment in Xu v. Balaski

Talya Schapiro and Clara Linegar of KazLaw Injury Lawyers have received an excellent judgment in Xu v. Balaski, 2020 BCSC 940. This is another case where the Court awarded our client damages more than triple the amount ICBC offered!

Sandy Kovacs and the Kazlaw team received a successful judgement in Anderson v. Molon

Access to justice for victims of sexual assault is a serious problem in Canada. In my experience, most victims are extremely reluctant to move forward with civil litigation for fear of being re-traumatized by the process. It is my practice to ensure my clients are as empowered as possible throughout the process, because reclaiming power – particularly in exploitation cases – is, in my view, a necessary step in the victim’s healing journey.

Chapman-Fluker v Gustavson: Successfully opposed application on jury notices

Mike Huot of KazLaw Injury Lawyers received an excellent judgment in Chapman-Fluker v Gustavson 2019 BCSC regarding a very contentious application by ICBC to extend the period for filing a jury notice. The Defendants relied on Rule 22-4 (2), which authorizes the court to extend or shorten any period of time provided for in the rules.
