Episode Date: October 31, 2025
Dionne Chambers is a personal injury lawyer, experienced in resolution of claims for clients with a wide range of serious injuries including amputation, brain injury and psychological trauma. Her work with amputee clients has increased her awareness of the gaps in meeting their needs, particularly in the area of peer support. As such, she has partnered with a Niagara-area amputee to establish a peer support group in that region. Dionne advocates for her clients regularly and brings insights from client experiences and needs to the Amputee Coalition of Canada as its newest board member.
