Mohamed Elbassiouni is a personal injury lawyer who heads up the Accident Benefits team and is especially interested in cases involving catastrophic impairment. He won very complicated disputes against insurance companies involving catastrophic impairment.
Mohamed was a member of the International Academy of Independent Medical Evaluators subcommittee, which worked to strengthen the rigour of the CMLE exam.
Mohamed’s practice is devoted to accident benefits claims for injured accident victims.
He has conducted numerous arbitration hearings before the Financial Services Commission of Ontario, ADR, and the LAT. During his career, Mohamed has successfully won cases for his clients at the arbitration and appeal levels.
Mohamed has worked on cases that were before Divisional Courts and the Ontario Court of Appeal.
He has more than 17 years of accident benefits experience. He is committed to helping those who have been treated unfairly and unreasonably denied their benefits by insurance companies.
He completed his Master of Law (LL.M) at Osgoode Hall Law School, York University. He holds a Certificate in Adjudication for Administrative Agencies, Boards & Tribunals. He is currently studying at Harvard Law School.
Mohamed believes that when you understand the law, you can better apply it to serve your clients. He believes that the needs of his clients and their long-term quality of life are central, above all else. Mohamed has helped injured victims resolve many complex cases over his career.
Mohamed has challenged the constitutionality of the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) in Abyan and Sovereign Insurance Company. This is a unique decision, as it happened to be the first decision from the Financial Services Commission of Ontario to declare that parts of the MIG are unconstitutional.
He recently won a highly complex case for one of his clients involving catastrophic impairment determination. In that hearing, the insurance company retained two well-respected and senior lawyers. This decision is considered a very interesting matter because it involved an "extreme mental impairment" dispute, which very rarely comes before the Licence Appeal Tribunal.
He represented a client in a complicated matter involving catastrophic impairment determination, income replacement benefits, and other medical issues. In that hearing, the insurance company retained two well-respected and senior lawyers. Interestingly, not only did he help his client win the catastrophic impairment determination and income replacement benefits disputes, but she was awarded more than $95,000 in interest and awards.
Mohamed was repeatedly invited as a guest speaker at the Law Society of Ontario's Legal Research program and the Client-Centred Practice for Lawyers and Paralegals program.
He is fluent in English and Arabic.
Some of the reported decisions include:
