Super, super Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. Crosbie, it is very obvious the time , work & effort you have put into this & all for the safety of the people of our great province. You are to be commended. Thank you!

Thank you, very much, illness has slowed me down, and I'm just getting started reading. I found your web site very helpful, straightforward, and gave me a much more realistic view of the law and medical malipractise.
I also appreciate that you have this material, for people to read, to the average person, the law and even medicine can be puzzling, when things go wrong is when you start learning about medical politics...and just to what extend someone will go through to bury up serious mistakes.
Thank you very much, and I most likely will get back to you, shortly...kind regards, Joanne

Hi Mr. Crosbie (& those wonderful lawyers at your office):
The comments I have seen on CBC have been very upsetting, but I guess we do expect that & not let it get the better of us. When you suffer on a daily basis with the results of a moose accident, rude comments like those I have read this evening do bother you,tho.
Thank you again for your sincerity & we are behind you 100 percent. You are fantastic!
God Bless

I did see the Evening Telegram and the lady on NTV who had received her cheque but, of course, had no idea of the amount. Today, I received my cheque and was more than pleased and surprised by the amount.
I want to thank you again from the very bottom of my heart and will always remember what you have done for us. Hopefully, for others, this mistake will never happen again.
I am also happy to be able to say I am enjoying good health and looking forward to enjoying good fortune you have brought our way.

As a medical malpractice lawyer for almost twenty years, I know how critically important it is to educate those who have been harmed or injured at the hands of careless and negligent health care providers. In his book "Why Most Medical Malpractice Victims Never Recover a Dime," Ches Crosbie provides no nonsense answers to medical malpractice victims and their loved ones and offers the rare insight into the mind of one of Canada is leading medical malpractice lawyer. Ches' book provides a frank reality check into the law and world of medical malpractice law, your likelihood of success on the merits, and what it takes to successfully win your medical malpractice case. Nevertheless, you can rest assured, if Ches Crosbie Barristers agrees to accept your case and represent you, the odds are that you will get the compensation you deserve - from an aggressive, experienced, and respected specialized medical malpractice lawyer."

"I am delighted that you got them to accept liability finally, and with your class action lawsuit you got the ball rolling for the Inquiry, which should help future health care in this province and for that."

"On behalf of the victims of what happened in Newfoundland and Labrador, and your exemplary services, I would like to thank you and offer my highest praise."

"I have read Ches Crosbie’s latest Statement of Claim [in the VLT class action] over and over again and find so much relief in so doing. Paragraph 60 and the reference to the principles of fundamental justice is what I have been fighting for more than 13 years. Governments should never have been permitted to wreak such pain for so long.
I am so grateful to you for your courage and the values that keep you fighting. They are what give meaning to our lives.
Let us hope our broken hearts will find some peace with your success in the courts.
Respectfully,
Phyllis Vineberg and family"

"Wonderful article in today's Telegram, richly deserved. What I really like about what you are doing, Ches, is that you are putting information into the hands of the common man. I think for many years the average Newfoundlander would have been afraid to fight for their rights because they feared the unknown and feared a system which they felt was above them. You have been successful in accomplishing something that others have not, you have made yourself and your firm approachable and accessible and more importantly you have made it understandable. That is not a small feat.
Congratulations Ches!"

"Since Mr. Crosbie has agreed to represent me as part of a much larger group, I have found him to be knowledgeable, informative, prompt and very approachable. He has demonstrated a very good understanding of our issues and has represented us with compassion and commitment before the judicial system. At each step of the way, he has kept us very much involved, has sought our advice when he felt it necessary, and has been quick to keep us informed of all significant developments as they occur. I am very impressed with Mr. Crosbie, both as a professional and a concerned individual."

"I was recently represented by Ches Crosbie in a class-action which concluded successfully with monetary as well as non-monetary components. I found him to be not only experienced but knowledgeable in all aspects, including the mediation process. He treats sensitive issues with empathy and decorum and he respects his client's opinions. He responds to questions quickly and clearly with detailed, easily understood explanations. I would highly recommend Mr. Crosbie and his team for legal representation. "

"I contacted your firm because your name had been recommended to me - a Nova Scotian - while I was in Toronto in hospital with my injured son. I was very impressed at that time that a client had spoken so highly about their lawyer and after talking with you today I certainly understand why that client's opinion was so positive. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions and to speak with me today - I did not expect that you would personally return my phone call! I wish you continued success."

I would be honoured to have my email read to Mr. Tilley and to hear his response to it. Thank you again for your work on this case. I know it takes a lot of research and dedication to do your job. I would also like to pass along my appreciation to your staff for their work and support.”

Mom told me about the unfortunate news [that the Court dismissed a case]. I’m very sorry and wish I could be home with you now. As you’ve told me before, the justice system is not perfect. You’ve been so successful and helped many people so far in your career, so don’t let this get you down. It seems that there are never battles won without battles lost. You did your best for someone who deserved a fight, and it is the institution that has let you both down. I’m so proud of you for all of your hard work.
Much love,
Catherine

FAQs
Auto Accidents and Car Wrecks
Does it matter that I didn't see the doctor right after my car accident?
- Do I have to use my own health insurance for my auto accident injuries? I've been injury in a motor vehicle accident and my doctor has referred me for therapy. I have private health coverage through work and I have Accident Benefits Coverage on my auto policy. My auto insurer is telling me I have to use my own private health coverage to pay for therapy costs prior to accessing my Accident Benefits Coverage. Why?
- I was injured in a car accident and my insurance company is telling me I have to use my personal insurance (e.g. Desjardins, Blue Cross, Manulife) to pay for my massage therapy, physiotherapy and prescription drugs before I can use either the accident benefit coverage (Section B) on my automobile policy, or the insurance of the guy who hit me. Is this right?
