Jaffa Ann Winick was rear-ended three separate times in her early 20s. She had started out as a teacher, and loved to swim and ski.
As a result of the accidents, she developed chronic pain, injury to her wrist, stress and low mood, and thoracic outlet syndrome.
She struggled through her practicum and doubted it would ever be possible to work full-time.
Krista Simon and Kaitlin Pierce took Winick’s case to court where medical experts, treatment providers, friends, family members and co-workers testified on her behalf.
At the end of the proceedings, Winick was awarded in excess of $500,000.
Hammerco is proud to announce that Partner Krista Simon has been appointed a member of the Judicial Council of the Tsawwassen First Nation for a five-year term.
Billed as “enhanced care” for British Columbians by the government, BC citizens are finding out too late that ICBC’s no-fault insurance falls short of providing adequate care for those injured in car accidents.
Hammerco's Managing Partner Morgyn Chandler is included in the 2024 Canadian Legal Lexpert Directory, Canada's most comprehensive guide to legal talent.
