Accident Lawyers Serving Newfoundland and Labrador

Serious accidents and injuries don’t just cause temporary physical pain and suffering, they can cause a lifetime of suffering, mental anguish, lost income and expenses, and they can be a terrible hardship on family members left to care for the injured person. If you or someone you love has been injured in an accident or suffered wrongful death, then you need to know our commitment to you: no case is settled until it’s settled right.

Ches Crosbie Barristers was established in 1991 to help accident and injury clients level the playing field against the insurance companies in auto accident and other accidental injury cases. From the beginning, we have been leaders in the provision of useful legal information to the injured consumer. Now we have brought this to a whole new level by publishing what we believe is the ultimate guide to accident cases in Newfoundland and Labrador. This innovative consumer book, 7 Deadly Sins That Can Wreck Your Injury Claim, is available free to residents of this province.

Our “boutique” practice is focused on the following areas:

Auto Accidents and Car Wrecks

No matter the type of auto accident you’ve been involved in – speeding, drug or alcohol impairment, highway accident, lane change accident, side or rear impact collision, truck accident, pedestrian accident – our motor vehicle injury lawyers have handled them all. Ches Crosbie Barristers also knows about the types of injuries that these accidents cause, including whiplash, sprain and strain injuries, bone fractures, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, wrongful death and more.

Accidents and Injuries

Ches Crosbie Barristers was founded in Newfoundland and Labrador in 1991 to help people injured by the fault or negligence of others. The accident and injury category includes car wrecks, but also people injured in slips, trips and falls and other unsafe conditions on property, boating accidents, ATV and snowmobile accidents, accidents involving aircraft, and defective products and equipment.

Medical Malpractice

Any time you go to the doctor or you spend time in the hospital, you put your faith in the nurses, doctors, and other hospital staff with the expectation that they will take good care of you. Unfortunately, this does not always happen, and medical mistakes result in serious injuries and sometimes death. Sadly, we have seen many cases where our clients were injured by the negligence of doctors, nurses, and hospitals. You don’t deserve to suffer without compensation for the rest of your life because of a medical mistake.

Class Action Lawsuits

Ches Crosbie Barristers has pioneered class action lawsuits in Newfoundland and Labrador. Class actions allow individuals with similar claims to band together and present their case on a more even footing with big defendants. This is yet another way in which our innovative firm has leveled the playing field for the consumer. Our firm was the first in Atlantic Canada to obtain a class action certification and the first to achieve a court approved class action settlement.
