St. John's, Newfoundland Accident Lawyer

The law firm of Ches Crosbie Barristers was originally formed in St. John’s, Newfoundland in 1991. This innovative law firm is dedicated to providing access to justice to individuals, particularly those who traditionally have had little contact with lawyers. Since then, the firm has helped many thousands of individuals and families protect their legal rights.

Before 1989, lawyers in Newfoundland were severely restricted in their rights to advertise. They were not allowed to publish their fees or give information about important legal rights. Many people were afraid to approach a lawyer, and did not know that they could arrange to pay legal fees by way of a contingent fee agreement – meaning the lawyer is paid only when the client collects. Ches Crosbie Barristers has been a leader in providing useful information to the consumer, and client access to justice through ethical contingent fees.

Ches Crosbie Barristers has grown to be a highly respected accident and injury law firm, asserting leadership in all forms of claims arising out of accidental injury or death, medical negligence, and class action law. The firm also selectively considers commercial litigation on behalf of the victimized. The firm's client-centered philosophy is to pursue just and timely outcomes based on reasonable accommodation, but we vigorously litigate when necessary. The firm's commitment to provide access to justice has resulted in numerous settlement and case law benchmarks. This commitment has earned the respect of other Newfoundland lawyers. On their recommendation, we are listed in The Canadian Legal Lexpert Directory http://www.lexpert.ca/ and Best Lawyers in Canada www.bestlawyers.com. It is not possible to purchase a listing in these peer-reviewed directories.

Ches Crosbie Barristers is committed to protecting the rights of injury victims. The firm never represents insurance companies or product manufacturers. We help only people!

If you have been injured or lost a loved one in an accident, or through someone else’s carelessness, or intentional wrongdoing, Ches Crosbie Barristers will work hard to get you everything you rightfully deserve for your losses.
