I was involved in a collision when I driving with the right-of-way.  Another vehicle failed to stop at a red light and smashed into the side of my vehicle at a high rate of speed, causing my airbag to deploy and my vehicle to spin around 180 degrees.

I am a 46 year old woman who was working three jobs at the time of the collision as a nanny/housekeeper.  I had pre-existing degenerative disc disease in my neck ad a history of neck and back injuries. I sustained four further injuries to my back while at work after this collision.  I was also injured in a second motor vehicle collision in July, 2005.

As a result of the first collision I suffered a back strain, neck and shoulder pain, a contusion to my left knee and headaches.  The second collision aggravated these injuries.  Over time I developed chronic pain in my back.  I required extensive physiotherapy, massage therapy, chiropractic care and medication.

I retained Cuming & Gillespie to represent me in the actions against the insurance companies which felt that I only suffered minor aggravational injuries - mere whiplashes.

Cuming & Gillespie represented me very well. I felt that I had sustained permanent, serious injuries and that the insurers did not understand this or want to believe me.  They helped me through the litigation process and helped me to  understand it each step of the way.  They cared about me and helped me maximize my recovery under the current Alberta law.

My claim was settled after I participated in a private mediation with the adjuster and the lawyer who represented the insurance company.   I felt that I was heard through-out this process.  I was very pleased with the amount of compensation I received  –   it will help me obtain any future medical treatment that I may require for the rest of my life.

I highly recommend Cuming & Gillespie for anyone who is seriously injured and wants understanding and capable legal counsel.
