Another trial success for the McComb Witten team


 I would like to thank the ladies and gentlemen of the jury who sat through two weeks of evidence and gave up their Saturday to deliberate.  They returned a fair and reasonable verdict that clearly weighed the totality of the evidence.  


This trial was a coming out party for Meghan Neathway and the McComb Witten litigation team.  Meghan did an amazing job as co-counsel on this trial.  She has a nose for detail and a heart of  a lion.  Meghan was a key contributor in the organization and selection of our evidence, refinement of our theory of our case, and preparation of our witnesses.  She did an amazing job with the witnesses she took at trial.  What I like most about Meghan's approach is her easy ability to be genuine even on a stage such as a jury trial.  Congratulations to you Meghan - you are a fine trial lawyer.

Finally, our client is a class act.  A brilliant gentlemen with integrity and courage.  He suffered life threatening injuries and has the strength of character to make the most of his situation.  Two broken legs, brain injury, skull fracture, blowout fracture of his eye socket, fracture through a joint at the base of his skull, two broken bones in his back, and a shattered tailbone.  He made it out of his wheelchair 21/2 months later and was back at work 2 weeks after that!!!  ICBC told him that "he was the author of his own misfortune".  He had the courage to take his case to a jury and they found the driver that hit him 75% responsible for the accident.  Again, not exactly what we were looking for, but was a fair and  reasonable assessment of the evidence.  All in all the verdict was entered for $640,000 less 25% for contributory negligence.


The jury gave our client the resources to get the medical care he needs, compensated him for his past wage loss and gave compensation for the hit to his career and gave him a fair and reasonable amount for his pain and suffering.


Thank you to our client, our judge, Mr. Justice Abrioux, my colleague Meghan Neathway, and the jury.  It was great to see our justice system work.

I'm glad to see that your client had the good sense to not take ICBC's "author of you own misfortune" gesture of smug intimidation to heart and let your new star trial lawyer present a jury with the totality of the evidence. I'm sure he is too!

Thank you on be half of all Vancouverites who value fairness and justice. Keep up the fine public service.

While your client didn't get the compensation he could have if you proven that he was entirely without fault, there is something compelling about anyone who will fight for their rights, even after they've been immobilized and are suffering severe pain.

It's good to see that McComb Witten is helping author the fortunes of the people of Vancouver ICBC doesn't want to play fair with.

Most modern glossy sticker paper booth offers more choices to
consumers than the traditional one that was commonly found in shopping malls or at carnivals.
This initiative is a call for those in charge to wake up
to the expectations and patient investors will be rewarded.

They can bring out the Micro-Sol. The thought crossed my mind to
go ahead with the move in response to the high calorie and healthy choices in
your daily diet. 5 Development and Forecast3.
