Jason Harvey Law
Personal Injury
Jason Harvey is a personal injury lawyer with over 10 years of experience in the legal field. Jason Harvey helps accident victims receive fair payouts from insurance companies. Insurance adjusters are trained to pay out as little as possible for car insurance claims. After your accident, an insurance adjuster may have called you and come over to your home to attempt to negotiate a settlement. The adjuster is hoping that you will take the quick settlement instead of fighting for the full amount to which you are entitled. If you have been injured, we can help you fight the insurance companies to ensure that you get a fair amount of compensation. Don’t end up taking less than that to which you are entitled. After an accident, you are entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, and more. Jason Harvey handles various types of insurance claims that require a lawyer, offering free legal consultations to clients all across Manitoba. You are not obligated to anything after that initial consultation. If we take your case, you do not pay us anything unless you receive a financial award.

Disability Insurance Claims
While you may have disability insurance coverage through a group policy with your employer or your own private disability policy, after an illness, accident or injury the disability insurer may refuse to pay any benefits or acknowledge the full extent of the coverage for which you have paid premiums towards. Disability insurance contracts can be complex legal documents that require an experienced lawyer’s assistance in interpreting and to assist you in building a successful case against a disability insurer when you are disabled from returning to work. Often, these cases require not only legal interpretation of your policy, but medical interpretation of the documents from your medical providers.
Jason Harvey and his team offer free initial consultations and have represented clients regarding disability insurance claims in a variety of circumstances:
- Short term disability or weekly indemnity payments
- Long term disability related to your own occupation
- Long term disability related to any occupation
- Canada Pension Plan (CPP) disability
Aside from requiring additional medical information or claiming that the medical information does not support your disability, sometimes disability insurers rely upon more technical legal principles, contained in your policy, to deny coverage. We have dealt with most of these types of denials, including:
- Pre-existing conditions
- Coverage was not in place
- Coverage was terminated prior to disability
- Not being in the care of a duly qualified physician
- Failing to abide by the recommendations of a treatment provider
- The reasonability of finding another occupation
- Denials based upon Independent Medical Examinations or Reviews, Transferable skills Analysis or Functional Capacity Evaluations
When disability and an inability to work enters your life, it is a stressful and uncertain period for you and your family. You may feel like the insurance company is holding all the cards. We can help. We have resolved many files, with virtually all of the major insurance providers across Canada, including:
- Blue Cross
- Great West Life Assurance Company
- Sun Life
- Manulife
- Desjardins
- SSQ
- RBC
- Industrial Alliance
- Health Employees Benefit Plan (HEBP)
- Province of Manitoba
- Fenchurch
Medical Malpractice
Essentially, medical malpractice is negligence on the part of a doctor (or other health care provider). When a doctor (or other health care provider) departs from accepted medical practice, and injury or death of a patient occurs as a result of that deviation from the standard of care, the doctor (or other health care provider) can be liable for their actions. Under such circumstances, the patient is entitled to recover for past and future: pain and suffering, medical expenses, and loss of earnings. A spouse (or if a minor is injured, the parents) can recover for loss of services. In a death case, the next of kin can recover for their loss. Medical Malpractice includes the following but is not limited to the following claims:
-
Failure to diagnose cancer
-
Delay to treat or failure to diagnose a medical condition
-
Cerebral palsy & brain damage
-
Birth injury
-
Erb’s palsy
-
Gynecologic surgical malpractice
-
Hospital Negligence
-
Emergency room errors
-
Medication Errors
-
Surgical errors & complications
-
Anesthesia malpractice
-
Failure to diagnose hydrocephalus
-
Extravasation Of Chemotherapeutic Agents
-
Abdominal Compartment Syndrome
-
Failure to diagnose compartment syndrome
-
Failure to diagnose injury to the popliteal artery
-
Osteoradionecrosis
If necessary, we retain expert accountants and financial analysts because many medical malpractice cases have their own set of associated losses including lost wages, the cost of care and many other monetary costs. In order to accurately assess what these costs will be for the remainder of a victim’s life, we use financial professionals to derive fair resolutions for injury victims.
