Auto Insurance Reform Advocate

Richard Halpern, a staunch supporter of auto insurance reform, has been elected President of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association (OTLA). The association’s annual general meeting in Toronto was held on May 26th of this year, at which time Halpern was elected to the position.

Halpern is usually on the side of the injured person in medical malpractice and automobile accident cases, and has thereby had a lot of experience dealing with auto insurance claims. He has been very vocal in advocating reform of the auto insurance industry in Ontario and firmly supports and promotes the idea of innocent accident victims getting fair and reasonable compensation.

He has taken it to Queen’s Park on several occasions, and wants the OTLA to assist him in his attempt to improve auto insurance. He believes that residents deserve better coverage and continues in the quest to get it.

Halpern is a partner at Thomson Rogers in Toronto, completing his undergraduate work at University of Toronto, law degree at University of Windsor, and Masters Degree in Law from Osgoode Hall Law School.
