Carfra & Lawton
Lawyers

  • Carfra & Lawton has a preferred area of practice in civil litigation and related counsel work, primarily directed toward the risk management industry
  • With 12 lawyers ranging in experience levels from new called to 30 plus years at the Bar, our law firm is the premier insurance firm on Vancouver Island
  • We believe that our local involvement on Vancouver Island, our relationship with professional consultants in many fields, which allows for the prompt retaining of experts when required, is an added value to the services we can offer.
Property and Casualty ↓
Carfra & Lawton acts for numerous North American property and casualty insurers and for these clients defends a wide variety of commercial and personal lines claims including occupiers' liability, commercial and social host liquor liability, arson and fraud, and personal injury matters such as defamation. Coverage issues arising from property and casualty insurance also are frequently addressed by firm members. The firm has a successful track record in the cost-effective handling of these claims and issues at all levels of Court.

Governmental Liability ↓
Carfra & Lawton represents many of the municipalities on Vancouver Island, as well as the Provincial Government on an ad hoc basis, in relation to liability claims arising out of building inspection, highway design and maintenance, property and premises ownership and management, police and fire department actions, and administrative errors. The firm is currently handling the defences of municipalities in several large-quantum complex multi-party proceedings involving building envelope failures, building subsidence, and fire losses.

Automobile ↓
The firm has expertise in coverage, liability and damages issues connected with automobile insurance claims. With the magnitude of damage awards on the increase, matters of particular concern to automobile insurers include damages for loss of income-earning capacity and cost of future care. Lawyers at Carfra & Lawton have extensive experience handling these and other categories of damages in brain damage, chronic pain, quadriplegia, wrongful death and other problematic cases.
Professional Liability ↓
Insurance brokers, real estate agents, appraisers, and professional technologists are among those Carfra & Lawton represents for errors & omissions insurers. Firm members recognize that claims against these and other professionals involve considerations different from those in other types of cases, including significant deductibles, professional reputation and disciplinary issues, considerations to which the lawyers at Carfra & Lawton are very much alive when handling errors and omissions claims.
Self Insured & Program ↓
Clients of the firm include various self-insured commercial enterprises and insurers providing program coverage. Carfra & Lawton is used to meeting the needs of self-insured and program insurance clients, not only by assisting in designing and following claims management and reporting procedures, but by providing litigation support for in-house counsel and claims managers, and by providing educational seminars on topics of specific interest to these clients.

Lawyers in our Insurance Law Practice Group have extensive experience in the defence of accountants, engineers, architects, numerous medical professionals, lawyers, and other professionals. We work closely with our clients in these areas to develop a cost-effective, efficient, and timely resolution to these potentially expensive claims.

Fraudulent Claims ↓
Fraud and arson are increasingly difficult areas to defend for insurance companies. We have a strong working relationship with law enforcement and other investigative government personnel, and have worked closely with and developed relationships with private forensic engineers, origin and cause experts, investigators, and similar providers of services in these areas. We carefully analyse all claims which may give rise to these defences, so that the insurer does not embark on expensive and risky litigation without adequate evidence.
Municipal/Government ↓
Our firm is the exclusive counsel to all municipalities and similar bodies outside of the City of Winnipeg in Manitoba, and we have developed a strong understanding of the legal defence issues of concern to these bodies. We have also represented the Government of Manitoba on a variety of insured claims, and we are familiar with issues unique to such defence work.

Property and Casualty ↓
We represent over 25 of Canada's largest property and casualty insurers. In this broad area, our lawyers have developed experience and expertise in occupiers' liability, liquor liability, personal injury, construction, and many other areas of coverage. Our firm has led the local market, and has been involved nationally in developing responsive and efficient means of defending the numerous and diverse claims which can arise in this insurance area.

Other Specialties ↓
Through representation of various insurers, risk managers and third party administrators, we have developed expertise in the areas of agricultural claims, aviation, sexual abuse claims, products liability, directors and officers, education, auto, and others.

  • Our corporate insurance group’s mandate is to help insurers, brokers, adjusters and intermediaries find a way through the maze of regulations governing not only the field of insurance, but also general business law, in Canada

Corporate Insurance

Coverage Opinions ↓
We represent insurers in the areas of policy drafting, revisions, opinion writing and related coverage litigation over defence and indemnity obligations in liability programs as well as indemnity under first party property programs. We regularly provide coverage advice to Canadian, U.S., European and U.K.-based insurers and reinsurers with loss exposures in commercial, professional and personal lines settings including issues of priority, excess, umbrella, as well as allocation of loss both between insurers and between insurer and policyholder.

Product Liability ↓
The potential for product liability claims is as wide as the range of products on the market. Our insurance clients have called on us to defend claims involving every imaginable type of product from motor vehicles and parts to micro pumps for helicopters; computers to copper converter furnaces; piers to pipelines; chemical coating compounds to cranes; seat belts to stone crushers; blood products to breast implants. No product is beyond a liability claim, and we are prepared to handle them all on behalf of our clients.

Our firm is a leader in defending class actions, and our familiarity with the legislation and involvement in many of the leading cases gives our clients a distinct advantage in resolving potentially significant claims.
Public Authorities Liability ↓
We have been the primary defence counsel for the general liability insurers of the Province of Ontario for over 20 years. In this capacity, we handle the defence of a large volume of claims throughout the Province against the Crown and its various ministries and agencies. We also have a wealth of experience in the municipal area and currently act as defence counsel for a number of large cities, Regional Municipalities and police forces.

Personal Injury and General Liability ↓
Daily living brings the potential for injury. Marine and motor vehicle accidents, slip-and-falls, sports injuries and food contamination are just a few of the types of injury claims we handle for insurers on behalf of insureds as varied as corporations, property owners and individuals. We are also experienced in handling general liability claims which arise from wrongful dismissal and sexual abuse.
Property ↓
Our experience in property cases ranges from ground settlement and faulty building construction to explosions and fire. As in all of our insurance work, we work closely with other professionals in order to develop responsive and understandable expert opinion at an early stage to assist in resolving claims before legal costs mount.

Professional Liability ↓
Our colleagues in the legal community are only one of the many groups of professionals we have successfully defended against those who allege they were derelict in their professional duties. We also represent doctors, real estate and insurance agents, engineers, architects, accountants, surveyors, adjusters, appraisers, stock and investment brokers and computer software designers.

Directors and Officers ↓
We are frequently retained by insurers and insureds with respect to claims against directors and officers. In addition to representing individual directors we often act as monitoring counsel on behalf of insurers, keeping a watchful eye on the way a case is being presented, and working with defence counsel to determine strategy for a successful resolution.

Boiler and Machinery ↓
There are often disputes between boiler and machinery insurers and property insurers as to coverage afforded by their policies, as well as disputes between the boiler & machinery insurer and the insured. Our procedure with respect to these claims is the same procedure we follow with respect to property claims, that is, working closely with other professionals and attempting to resolve the problem at an early stage.

Life and Disability ↓
We represent life and disability carriers in all aspects of this area of insurance. In addition to drafting and commenting upon policy wording we provide initial opinions on coverage as well as defending claims arising from death, dismemberment and disability.
Fidelity and Surety Claims ↓
The fidelity and surety claims in which we represent insurers include a whole spectrum of crime from simple employee theft to complex securities fraud, as well as claims on surety and performance bonds.
EPL ↓
We have represented insurers with respect to claims made on employment practices liability policies including wrongful dismissal, and discrimination issues. We have a strong labour department experience in all labour matters.
Environmental ↓
Contamination of the soil, water and air is an unfortunate consequence of modern life. Even the waste disposal sites and recycling facilities that address environmental problems are themselves subject to pollution by everything from minerals and chemicals to human and animal waste, not to mention flooding and lowering of water tables. Not surprisingly, this is a widely litigated field and one in which we have extensive experience. We have represented insurers in claims arising from chemical leaks and spills, contamination from landfills as well as various types of water and air contamination.

Libel and Defamation ↓
We have represented plaintiffs in libel and defamation claims against communication companies, broadcasters, newspapers and book publishers. On the defence side, we have acted for the insurers of a national news magazine, media personalities, a television network, and a national newspaper chain, as well as various government ministries.
Aviation ↓
We have extensive experience in claims arising out of all types of aviation and marine losses. Representative claims include the Air India bombing, the shooting down of Korean Airlines 007 by the Soviet Union, the Air Canada Cincinnati DC9 fire and the sinking of the Ocean Ranger.

We act on behalf of claimants, defendants and insurers in claims involving everything from catastrophic claims to a wide variety of general aviation losses. Many of these claims have involved multi-jurisdictional litigation and the application of international treaties and agreements.
Weather Policies ↓
We have successfully represented insurers on weather policies involving claims for cancellation of outdoor events such as motor sport and ski races and losses resulting from damage caused by weather to property and livestock.
