The Firm
What We Do
Davidson Cahill Morrison LLP is a boutique civil litigation and appellate firm. Our work falls into five practice areas. Some, like insurance defence, are for institutions. Others, like medical malpractice and personal injury, are for the individuals and families on the other side of the dispute. Appellate advocacy serves both through every level of court.
Acting on both sides makes us better. We know how an insurer evaluates a claim because we defend them, and we know how a plaintiff builds one because we bring them. Select a practice area below to learn more.
We act for insurers, and for the insureds they appoint us to defend, across personal and commercial lines. The practice covers liability and property defence, fire and construction losses, motor vehicle and occupiers' liability claims, class action defence, coverage opinions and disputes, and subrogated recovery, all backed by an in-house appellate group.
We represent patients and families seriously harmed by negligent medical care. Our work includes birth trauma and obstetrical injury, delayed and missed diagnoses, surgical and medication errors, hospital falls, and other failures in the hospital and clinical setting.
We run appeals in-house, for appellants and respondents alike, in the Court of Appeal for Ontario and the Supreme Court of Canada, and on judicial review of tribunal decisions. We also act as appellate counsel for other plaintiff and defence lawyers.
We act for people seriously injured in motor vehicle collisions, falls and other accidents, and for the families of those who are catastrophically hurt or killed. We pursue both the no-fault accident benefits and the tort claim against the at-fault party, on a contingency fee basis.
We act for property owners across Ontario in claims against municipalities for negligent building inspection, in building code and work order disputes, and in title insurance claims against title insurers when a building or permit issue surfaces.
Davidson Cahill Morrison LLP also acts in commercial litigation for businesses and individuals. If your matter does not fit neatly into the areas above, contact us and we will point you in the right direction.
