Vancouver Sun – Letter to the Editor

Ron Nairne, Incoming President of the Trial Lawyers Association of BC writes to the Vancouver Sun Editor in regards to Last month, Attorney General David Eby statement that a key driver in increasing ICBC costs is “plaintiff lawyers strategically building the value of the claim,” suggesting there is something untoward in lawyers doing their jobs. His statement implies that claims being advanced are somehow not genuine.

Eby’s swipe at the legal community is disappointing and misplaced. As a lawyer and the attorney general responsible for the administration of justice in British Columbia, Eby knows better. By taking a shot at the representation lawyers are sworn to provide their clients, Eby suggests that through the legal process injured British Columbians get compensation they don’t deserve. The effect is a loss of respect for the legal process.

Eby may be better-spoken than U.S. President Donald Trump, but the attack on the rule of law is no less alarming than Trump’s frequent jabs at the American legal system.
Insurance Corp. of B.C. claims take time to resolve because injuries sometimes take time to resolve as well. While most people will recover from injuries from a motor-vehicle accident in a few months, others develop permanent symptoms. It is often not possible to know at the time of the crash what injuries will heal and what will lead to a lifetime of disability.
Eby’s comments only serve to distract, not contribute, to an understanding of what has really happened at ICBC. As Eby knows, ICBC’s financial position is a product of mismanagement, rising crash rates and past governments treating the public insurance company as the government’s piggy bank.

Thank you for the professional and cordial way in which you and your associates represented me through a very challenging, difficult and unusual case.The way in which this case unfolded to the final day at the settlement was nothing short of outstanding representation both in the office, on the phone and finally in the settlement meeting.Your ability to always be there for me when I need to talk was so important and you always had a calming way to make the matter at hand better.I wish you all the best in your future endeavours with your company and future cases no matter the difficulty they may be.- Sandra

I was and am extremely happy with the way Mr. Matthew Burtini and his staff handled my case. They kept me posted as to what was happening every step of the way. Their professional manners made me feel very confident and comfortable. I would highly recommend their firm of Giusti and Nairne.

GIUSTI NAIRNE is the ONLY name you need to know if you've ever been injured in an accident. After being taken advantage of in the past from ICBC, I vowed to never deal with those vultures again without proper representation. Romano and his team are truly the best and really helped me get through a stressful situation at a difficult time in my life. Being represented by Matthew Burtini from this firm is literally like having your own personal guardian. He takes care of EVERYTHING. it doesn't matter how small my injury was or how bad yours could be, they treat everyone the same...with respect and dignity. Words cannot express how grateful we are to have Matthew from GIUSTI NAIRNE represent us. I hope I never have to deal with ICBC again due to an accident or injury but if I do, I know exactly who to call.

I got into a motor vehicle accident a couple years ago and was referred to Mr. Ronald Nairne from a friend. Ron and his team have been incredible through out the entire process and have always kept me in the loop regarding my case. They have represented me to icbc and took all the hassle away from having to deal with them at all. I give their firm 5 stars and will continue to send all my friends and family to them as they have been very easy to deal with and my settlement was more than fair. Thanks to Ron and the entire team!

My Angel Thank god for Mr Ronald Nair. My claim is not settle yet but i can say he has been there for me every step of the way to the point that when my claim does settle i will really miss him and his team as they treat me like family and really care about me and my welbeing. Ronald is very humble and a man of few word but he gets the job done and he is ready to go to war to you. They have become my small family
