Personal Injury Alliance Law Firms Team Up to be Sponsorship Heroes to Everyday Heroes Kids
Three of Canada’s top ranked personal injury law firms support the online platform that connects families to healthcare providers specializing in pediatric care with $30K sponsorship.
Barrie, ON — June 1, 2022 — The Personal Injury Alliance (PIA Law) law firms, McLeish Orlando, Oatley Vigmond and Thomson Rogers, recently sponsored Everyday Heroes Kids (EHK). The two-year, $30,000 sponsorship from PIA Law enables the pediatric platform, which virtually connects parents and caregivers for free to accredited pediatric professionals and organizations, to grow and expand its reach to have a greater impact on the communities it serves. Currently it features over 600 profiles of accredited pediatric professionals with dedicated URLs highlighting their pediatric expertise and approach to care in the areas of health, mental health, and education.
“Everyday Heroes Kids is grateful to PIA Law for their generous sponsorship and support. This sponsorship is vital to our organization to ensure we can continue to grow our platform, expand our reach, and provide free, easy access to pediatric support to families in need,” said Tammany Petrie, Founder of Everyday Heroes Kids. For Petrie, a proud mother of two amazing boys with special needs, trying to find resources and information on pediatric support before EHK was not only time-consuming but highly stressful. This inspired her to form EHK so that families could not only find the information they needed with ease but to also discover services they may not have known existed for their children.
Launched in 2020 from the Biomedical Zone accelerator at St. Michael’s Hospital and Ryerson University, now known as the Toronto Metropolitan University, EHK’s mission is to create a ‘circle of care’ around a child to help support healthier, happier kids across Canada. The EHK team is comprised of parents and professionals who have been directly affected by learning, physical, and developmental disabilities in children. Last December, EHK announced a partnership with Kids’ Health Links Foundation to further expand access to important pediatric resources. According to PIA Law, EHK is a valuable resource for their clients to help families of children who have suffered a catastrophic injury or loss due to an accident find much-needed pediatric support through one, centralized location that is simple to use and navigate.
Formed in 2012, PIA Law provides reputable options to accident victims and their families seeking a personal injury lawyer. Comprised of Canada’s top three personal injury law firms that have achieved some of the largest personal injury settlements in Canadian history, PIA Law understands their client’s journey doesn’t stop at the courtroom. Once a settlement is attained, those suffering or sadly left behind due to a catastrophic accident — especially children — require special care and access to valuable resources such as EHK. And, as socially minded, communitycentric law firms, PIA Law firms often team up to support events and organizations like EHK that offer essential support services to their clients.
“As personal injury lawyers, we witness firsthand the devastating physical and mental impact that life-altering injuries can have on a family, particularly when the injuries are suffered by a child. Our goal is to ensure those families and their children have our full support, along with access to important support services like EHK’s pediatric platform to get the care and treatment they need to start rebuilding their lives,” said Dale Orlando, Principal Partner at McLeish Orlando, a PIA Law member firm.
“A child’s legal advocate must be sensitive to distinct procedural and evidentiary rules that apply to persons under disability. Cases involving young children often present unique challenges in identifying and accessing personal care needs and other compensable losses. Our primary objective is to maximize a child’s recovery and rehabilitation through accessing appropriate experts and rehabilitation therapies. EHK’s pediatric platform helps us to bridge that gap to ensure easy and equitable access to all,” said James Vigmond, Managing Partner at Oatley Vigmond, a PIA Law member firm.
“We advocate for our clients both in and outside of the courtroom. We understand that the rehabilitation process and need for services to assist seriously injured children continues long after a settlement is achieved. Unfortunately, there are often insufficient funds to provide for all of a child’s need for the rest of their lives, and as a result, it becomes stressful for families to manage these services on often limited funds. By sponsoring EHK we are able to alleviate some of that stress by ensuring families continue to have easy and free access to much-needed pediatric support so they can focus on the recovery process and living a fuller, happier life,” said Leonard Kunka, Partner at Thomson Rogers, a PIA Law member firm.
