Court finds in favour of Plaintiff in cosmetic surgery case

After a 5-day trial in a judge alone case, the Court found in favour of a young woman who was left scarred after cosmetic surgery. This medical malpractice case addressed two issues: 1) the standard of care expected of a surgeon practicing cosmetic surgery in Ontario and 2) whether the Surgeon failed to adequately advise the plaintiff of material risks and thereby performed the surgery without informed consent. The case mainly dealt with an abdominoplasty that resulted in a significant scar across the plaintiff’s abdomen. In a normal abdominoplasty, the […]

$2.5 Million Punitive Damages

When the Plester’s furniture store burned down in 2003, the insurance company refused to pay, blaming arson as the cause of the fire. A ruling of arson meant that the Plester’s were unable to collect their benefit claims, and were left without any way to recover their business. After a five-week trial, the jury awarded the Plester’s $525,000 punitive and aggravated damages in addition to their initial insurance benefits claim. The punitive damage award is the highest award upheld against an insurance company by the Ontario Court of Appeal. Mazza […]
