As a sports fan, I can’t help but notice that the Toronto Raptors have started playing their exhibition games, but the Toronto Maple Leafs still have not hit the ice. The season was supposed to start on October 12. The major issue appears to be how to divide up hockey related revenue, however there are other issues such as drug testing and player safety that need to be addressed. As a personal injury law firm, we are very aware of head injury in sports. Hockey may have the largest ratio of concussion issues per player of all the sports. Everything seemed to work out for the NBA last season, however major sport lockouts in the past haven’t always been a good thing. The public doesn’t seem to have the patience for what some see as a lot of wealthy people arguing about who should be getting even wealthier. This can affect future ticket sales and attendances. This in turn trickles down to all the sports related income from merchandise sales, to hot dogs, to parking. This can hurt each City’s economy in general. Let’s hope that this lockout can be resolved soon. Professional hockey in Canada has always been a good way for friends and family to get together and bond in a positive manner.

By now everyone should know that seatbelts save lives. In Canada, it is a legal requirement for all drivers and passengers in a motor vehicle to wear a seatbelt. This law has been in effect for over 30 years in most places and since 1976 in Ontario. It seems that now a day’s people are getting the message about seat belts. Over 95% of people in Ontario use a seat belt. If you are involved in an accident and not wearing your seatbelt, you can be found to be contributory negligent for your injuries. The Court can reduce your damages award if it finds that your injuries were caused or contributed by you not wearing a seatbelt no matter what the other driver did to cause the accident. We have seen reductions for between 5-25% for failure to wear a seatbelt. The lawyers at Raphael Barristers have been practicing personal injury law for over 50 years.
