FAQ’s
What grounds exist for a nursing home negligence claim in Ontario?
Ontario’s Long-Term Care Homes Act (2007) sets specific care standards for licensed facilities. A legal claim arises when a facility fails to meet those standards and a resident is harmed – through falls, pressure injuries, medication errors, malnutrition, or physical or psychological abuse.
Does Meghan Hull Jacquin handle cases in the Gymnastics Canada abuse lawsuit?
Yes. Meghan is part of the legal team representing plaintiffs in the class action against Gymnastics Canada and provincial gymnastics associations for physical, sexual, and psychological abuse of athletes. A free consultation is available.
Why is defence-side experience valuable in a plaintiff’s lawyer?
Meghan spent the early part of her career representing insurance companies. She now uses that insider knowledge – how insurers assess claims, build defences, and allocate settlement authority – to benefit her plaintiff clients by anticipating their opponents’ strategies.
