Advertisements vs Results
This advertisements vs results disclaimer covers the case results, testimonials and reviews on this website. A past result does not guarantee a future one. Each matter turns on its own facts and on the law of the province where it is heard. How the firm handles your personal information is set out in the privacy policy.
Images Are Illustrations and Outcomes Depend on the Facts and the Province
Photographs and images on this website and in advertising are illustrations. Unless the caption says otherwise, they do not show actual clients, events or outcomes. This advertisements vs results disclaimer applies to everything the firm publishes on its website, its social media channels and its marketing materials.
Mike Murphy Law Group practises in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. The Criminal Code of Canada applies in every province. The provincial rules on insurance, limitation periods and court procedure do not, and they change the outcome of a case.
A personal injury claim, a criminal defence and an insurance dispute each turn on their own facts and evidence, and a lawyer has to look at each one on its own. The severity of the injury, the evidence available, the insurance coverage in place and the conduct of the parties all move the result. So does the province where the matter is heard, because each province has its own statutes and its own rules of court.
This Advertisements vs Results Disclaimer Exists Because Advertising Rules Require It and No Lawyer Can Promise a Result
Canadian legal advertising rules require a law firm to describe its services and its past outcomes honestly. This disclaimer says plainly that the case results, client testimonials and any awards on this website are not a prediction of success in your matter.
No lawyer can promise a result. The facts, the evidence, the judge or jury, a change in the law and the choices of the other side are all outside the lawyer’s control.
A Lawyer Assesses Your Case on Your Facts
Speak with a lawyer before you draw any conclusion from a result or a review on this site. In a consultation the firm’s lawyers review your facts, explain the law that applies and tell you plainly what the possible outcomes are.
The testimonials and reviews on this site are individual clients’ accounts of their own files. Another client’s file will differ, because each matter carries its own problems. The firm publishes this disclaimer because the rules of professional conduct require it and because a client should know what a result on this site does and does not mean.
This Website Is Not Legal Advice
The information on this website is general information, not legal advice. Reading it, or using the site, does not make you a client of the firm. Nothing on this site is a promise or prediction about the outcome of any legal matter.
Limitation Periods and Insurance Rules Differ by Province
Canada divides law between the federal government and the provinces, so the same accident is handled differently from one province to the next. In personal injury, New Brunswick runs a tort system, and the other provinces set their own rules on damages and liability. Limitation periods differ, and a limitation period can decide whether a claim proceeds at all.
Insurance rules differ too. Accident benefits, the process for a dispute with an insurer, and the cap or deductible on pain and suffering damages all come from provincial legislation. Two similar cases in two provinces can end differently.
