Andrew Rudder Biography

Rudder Law Group specializes in catastrophic impairment law, and is devoted to severe and catastrophic plaintiffs’ personal injury cases, including motor vehicle collisions, slip and falls, and assaults, as well as accident benefits and disability benefits claims. We are committed to fighting on behalf of victims of motor vehicle accidents, who sustained catastrophic impairments, such as a catastrophic traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury and fractures, paraplegia, tetraplegia, severe impairment of ambulatory mobility or the use of an arm, amputation of a leg or an arm, loss of vision, and/or a mental and behavioural disorder.

Rudder Law Group is a client-centric catastrophic impairment law firm devoted to carefully listening to our clients’ deepest desires, pains, fears, hopes, and dreams at the heart of their legal problems, and then providing value to our clients by finding creative solutions to address and solve them. We are committed to educating our clients, so they know more about the process we’re taking toward solving their legal problems, and are more empowered to make better, informed decisions at each stage of the litigation process, from signing the retainer and getting ready for an examination for discovery, to preparation for a settlement meeting and a trial in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. We keep our clients informed throughout the litigation process so that there is no misunderstanding as to why it takes as long as it sometimes does.

At Rudder Law Group, we understand that our catastrophically impaired clients, who experienced a devastating, unforeseen loss, want to optimize their level of independent living and be able to pay for their exorbitant costs of future care, so as to avoid undue stress and hardship. That’s why we are committed to fighting on behalf of our vulnerable, catastrophically impaired clients to ensure that we increase their auto insurance policy limits to the highest tier of medical rehabilitation benefits in their accident benefits claim, as well as obtain just compensation in their tort lawsuit. We fight to accomplish this goal so that our clients can pay for the exorbitant future costs of care, in order to gain access to the necessary multidisciplinary treatment, care services, and support needed to optimize their level of independent living, and their full mental, physical, social and vocational ability. We commit to this in order to facilitate the optimization of our clients’ social and economic inclusion, and participation in all aspects of their lives in society.

At Rudder Law Group, we understand that our catastrophically impaired clients want to recover and return to their pre-injury level without the need for adaptive aids or helper assistance. That’s why we are committed to fighting on behalf of our vulnerable, catastrophically impaired clients to get just compensation, so they can reach their highest level of independence, and recover and return as close as possible to their pre-injury level, both in terms of mobility (i.e. transfer and mobility), and having the ability to perform as much as possible of their pre-injury activities of daily living. We are committed to fighting to ensure our clients sufficiently increase their auto-insurance policy limits to pay for the exorbitant costs associated with their necessary multidisciplinary treatment. We are committed to providing our clients with a highly-qualified occupational therapist to meet with them to ensure they obtain the right multidisciplinary treatment, care services, and support catered to their specific underlying medical diagnoses from the very best health care professionals. We are committed to ensuring our clients gain access to the necessary multidisciplinary treatment, care services, and support needed to reach maximum medical recovery, and optimize their level of independent living. We commit to this in order to ensure our clients have the capacity to participate in, and fulfill as much as possible, their pre-injury social role in light of their accident-related catastrophic impairments.

At Rudder Law Group, we understand that our catastrophically impaired clients want to return to school to fulfill their career aspirations and/or return to work to advance their careers that give their life meaning, a sense of purpose, and the ability to financially provide for their family and dependents, as well as pay their bills, put a roof over their heads, and put food on the table. That’s why we are committed to fighting on behalf of our vulnerable, catastrophically impaired clients to sufficiently increase their auto-insurance policy limits, in order to pay for the exorbitant costs associated with their necessary multidisciplinary treatment, care services, and support to expedite their maximum medical recovery, and return as close as possible to their pre-injury level and life. We are committed to providing our clients with a highly-qualified vocational rehabilitation specialist, who listens and understands their activity limitations and participation restrictions.

Rudder Law Group is committed to customer satisfaction, providing our clients with value, and keeping them happy, which is reflected in the fact that we consistently do the following:

  • Frequently keep our clients in the loop with progress reports on the active progression of their file;
  • Educate our clients about both, the current, and next step, at each major milestone in the litigation process;
  • Listen carefully to our clients’ problems to better understand their situation, in order to cater to their specific needs with precision and accuracy, and formulate tailormade solutions to enable them to transition toward fulfilling their dreams, hopes, and desires;
  • Take a deep dive into our clients’ cases, as well as arcane legalities to find a creative solution to their legal problems;
  • Remain accessible and promptly respond to our clients’ inquiries, comments, questions, and concerns;
  • Remain well connected to a network of medical experts and treatment providers, in order to quarterback and oversee a multidisciplinary healthcare approach to our clients’ recovery and optimizing their return to their pre-injury level and life;
  • Remain vocal, tireless advocates for our clients’ interests, and fight like warriors for them in the courthouse; and
  • Fight for our clients at every turn to ensure they get the just compensation they deserve, and the treatment, care services, and support they need, in order to optimize their level of independent living.

At Rudder Law Group, we assist our clients and their family in obtaining funding and access to services and assistive devices, which will assist in their rehabilitation and help mitigate their loss, in order to minimize as much as possible the negative impact of their accident-related catastrophic impairments. We make sure our clients get as much of their accident benefits within their appropriate policy limits as is possible, which includes fighting to get them a catastrophic impairment designation, if they satisfy the legislative criteria, in order to increase their auto-insurance policy limits from $65,000 to $1 million.

Rudder Law Group is honest with our clients and we only provide our legal opinion on what our clients’ claim may be worth when they have reached maximum medical recovery.

Rudder Law Group is committed to ensuring our catastrophically impaired clients are not alone in their struggle to recover treatment, care services and support in the form of accident benefits, as well as the just compensation they deserve from the insurer of the negligent at-fault driver in the form of tort damages. We are committed to providing a competent team of legal experts and a multidisciplinary team of medical specialists to help our clients every step of the way.
