On March 11, 2005, Kalika Webb, who then had just turned 17, was a backseat passenger in a car whose driver failed to negotiate a left-hand curve in the roadway resulting in a crash that caused her catastrophic injuries.
It was a beautiful late summer day and we were on our way to a restaurant to celebrate my 64th birthday when the accident happened. We parked in the parking lot of the restaurant and started to walk toward the entrance. My immediate attention was taken to the bizarre actions of a car in the parking lot ahead of me. I quickly stepped in between a parked truck and car; out of the direct path of the rampaging car. But that was not a safe place. The out of control car hit the truck on my right side and pinned me in between it and the car on my left. Five men did the impossible. They lifted the truck by the rear bumper and moved it sideways, freeing me to slip to the ground.
The x rays showed six fractures of my pelvis. Yes, I could wiggle my toes. Therapists, hospitals, doctors, nurses, and a very worried family, are all a blur now. I am a woman of serious Faith in Jesus Christ. I personally know His attention and Love throughout this ordeal. My wonderful husband literally laid down his life for me. During a hospital visit a friend suggested that we might be wise to talk to a lawyer. The thought had not crossed our minds. We were so involved in finding out if I would ever walk again.
Into our lives came Sloan Mandel from Thomson Rogers Lawyers; a kind, soft spoken, gentle, brilliant man who knew what to do and how to help me to the very best of his ability. He arranged for an Occupational Therapist to visit me and set the wheels in motion for layers upon layers of much needed help for my recovery. Mr. Mandel spoke with our Auto Insurance people, who then co-operated to the fullest in paying for all the bills. Every call to him was answered immediately and with his best attention. The time came for us to decide on settlement issues. Mr. Mandel advised me to go to mediation. This was also a very scary time for me. The process was completely foreign to me. But I trusted my lawyer. Mr. Mandel assured me that the end result was very much in my favour and I should agree to the terms. The accident caused such great physical and emotional pain which I cannot describe on paper, but Sloan Mandel took care of me so that all I was left to do was to heal. Of course his intervention on my behalf was a great deal more than what I have shared here. And healing has come. I have some reoccurring pain and handicap from this accident. My doctors and health care attendants were great. But because of the work of my brilliant lawyer, my future physical and financial needs are covered and I am seriously grateful to him.

I met Sloan during a very tough time in my life, a point where I didn't know what to do and if I even had a case. I knew I was hurt and knew I was wronged, I just didn't know if I could find someone who would believe in me and be willing to take my case. I had initially met with a few lawyers who didn't think I had a case, or didn't really take the time to hear me out. The first thing that was obvious about Sloan was that he really cares about his clients. During our first meeting, he took the time to sit down and hear my story, ask the tough questions, but did so with understanding and sympathy.
Sloan worked tirelessly on my case. He did his homework on my specific situation, researched, talked to experts, and challenged what I was being told "You don't have a case", when I knew in my heart I did.
All of Sloan's hard work resulted in me winning my case and sincerely words can't express my appreciation for what he has done for me and my family.

Dear Sloan,
We do not know where we would be if we did not have Sloan Mandel’s help through this most difficult period of our lives.
There were many occasions when we had only to pick up the telephone and talk to Sloan personally, to alleviate our fears, for guidance or direction, reassurance or answers to our questions and each time feel some level of comfort. Sloan worked on our case taking on tasks and dealing with issues and situations, some of them complicated and difficult, so we would not have to and so we could focus on immediate care needs. We knew, everyday, throughout the past five years, we were in good hands and that we were not alone in our fight for what we needed then, now and into the future.
Throughout the past five years we always felt like Sloan knew exactly what we needed and when - often even before we knew it ourselves. Sometimes we wondered how he knew. It was like he was right there with us. He was - everyday!
We will be forever thankful for all the time, hard work, trust and compassion Sloan Mandel and his team extended to our family and, most of all, for ensuring our daughter would be able to live the best life she can despite her tragedy.
Thank you Sloan.
- D. & M. Webb
