640 Toronto – Paralyzed Man Suing Insurer That Says Injuries Don’t Meet Definition
In 2011, Mitch Murphy of Nova Scotia suffered a traumatic brain injury and spinal fracture that left him paralyzed from the waist down.
To make matters worse, Mitch’s insurance provider decided that he wasn’t quite paralyzed enough for compensation.
Disability lawyer Sivan Tumarkin, partner at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, discussed with host Tasha Kheiriddin on Global News Radio 640 Toronto the unusual lawsuit that seeks to have Mr. Murphy recognized as a paraplegic.
