David Himelfarb
Overview
Catastrophic Injury Lawyer Toronto David Himelfarb helps accident victims in the Greater Toronto Area pursue the compensation they are entitled to.
David Himelfarb is a founding partner of HIMPRO by Himelfarb Proszanski, a Toronto injury law firm representing seriously injured clients across the GTA.
David’s practice focuses on helping families dealing with the aftermath of tragedy caused, or contributed to, by the negligence of others.
He is known for his representation in life changing, catastrophic injury cases as well as injury cases not deemed to meet the catastrophic threshold, but still very serious and that impact victims for years to come –
often their entire lives.
David also handles negligent wrongful death cases and insurance litigation arising from denial of life and critical illness coverage and long term disability denials.
What a Catastrophic Injury Lawyer Toronto Means by “Catastrophic Impairment
The word carries specific legal weight here, and it changes what a claim is worth.
Under Ontario’s accident benefits system, a designation of catastrophic impairment unlocks substantially higher limits for medical, rehabilitation and attendant care benefits than a non-catastrophic claim receives. The criteria are defined by regulation and cover things like traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, vision loss, and combinations of physical and psychological impairment measured against set thresholds.
Insurers frequently dispute the designation. Whether a file meets the threshold often turns on how the medical evidence is assembled and when the assessments are done – which is why a Catastrophic Injury Lawyer Toronto families retain early can make a material difference to the benefits available.
With over 35 years of experience in personal injury litigation, David Himelfarb and his team work to build a thorough case so you are restored – as close as possible – to your pre-injured state and your family can move forward in a positive, dignified way.
