Claims are filed quickly, evidence is gathered without delay, and insurers are invited to the table early with full transparency. This approach has reshaped how insurers respond. "Because we're candid, and because we've built a reputation for being prepared, insurance companies know we're serious, and that gives our clients real options," Waxman explains. At the core of the firm's work are values that guide ever y interaction, notably empathy, candour, and efficiency. Lawyers are expected to be clear, honest, and human, even when the answers may be hard to hear. "You can't sugarcoat things or hide behind legalese," he says. "You have to give the truth with some measure of humanity." That clarity is matched by a culture of accessibility. Clients can reach their lawyers directly, and Waxman leads by example, often fielding calls before and after business hours, even stepping in to ease concerns when other lawyers are tied up. "We want things to be professional, but we also want them to be comfortable," he says. "Our clients should feel heard, supported, and most of all, respected." The firm's notable cases in the past year include: • In Samaroo v. Commonwell (LAT deci- sion), the firm successfully argued enti- tlement to Pre-104 income replacement benefits and certain treatment plans for the applicant. • Successfully argued in Randle (WSIAT decisio n ) that the p la in tiff in ju red while asleep in the back of his work truck at the time of the motor vehicle accident was not s tatute barred by the WSIB from maintaining his right to sue in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
