About Oatley Vigmond

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Oatley Vigmond is a personal injury law firm based in Barrie, Ontario, founded in 2002 by Roger Oatley and Jim Vigmond. It's a firm that does one thing: personal injury law, covering catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord and brain trauma, medical malpractice, motor vehicle collisions, long term disability, and statutory accident benefits claims. The team has grown to more than 80 professionals, including lawyers and accident benefits specialists, working out of a head office in Barrie and consultation offices in Toronto, North York, Hamilton, Sudbury, and North Bay.

One thing that sets the firm apart is its use of accident benefits specialists drawn from the insurance industry, who work alongside the lawyers on no-fault claims and rehabilitation coordination instead of leaving that work to outside adjusters. In 2007, founding partner Jim Vigmond secured a $12.5 million verdict for client Ryan Morrison, a young man left paraplegic in a car accident. The firm describes it as the largest Canadian damages award at the time for a spinal cord injury case. Five partners now hold the Law Society of Ontario's Certified Specialist in Civil Litigation designation, and the firm has been named to Best Lawyers' Best Law Firms list.
