Personal Injury
<< View All Practice AreasAn accident can derail your plans, your career, and your finances. If you’ve been injured because of someone else’s actions, our experienced personal injury lawyers can help you get the treatment you need and the compensation you deserve.
We can help you obtain medical treatment and rehabilitation services. Working with our clients’ physicians, we are often able to connect our clients with medical specialists, without their having to wait months (and sometimes years) for an appointment. During this difficult time, you shouldn’t need to worry about treatment expenses. We’ll be in your corner, fighting to get you the care you need.
Whether you have been injured in an accident in British Columbia, or you are a resident of British Columbia and have been injured in an accident elsewhere in North America, our injury lawyers can help you to get compensation for pain and suffering, financial losses such as income, medical expenses, and even future losses and expenses if your injuries are permanent.
We’ll guide you through every stage of the settlement process, keeping you informed of any developments. You can focus on your recovery, while we manage the details of the case, including dealing with insurance companies and other parties.
Our goal is to provide you with the best possible settlement at the earliest possible stage. Often, we are able to achieve a favourable settlement through skillful negotiation. If necessary, we have the expertise and experience to advocate for your position at trial.
Our lawyers have extensive experience acting on behalf of individuals who have been injured as a result of:
- Car and motorcycle accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Faulty products
- Assaults
Many of these claims involve insurance companies. In those cases, we deal directly with the insurance adjuster – you can be comfortable knowing that your claim will be presented fully and fairly so that you receive the best possible settlement or trial award. In claims where there is no insurance involved, we can guide you through the process of collecting on your judgment.
We provide our clients with a high degree of fee-for-service flexibility, including contingency fee arrangements. In most injury claims we don’t receive a fee until you receive compensation.
