personal injury Law

A motor vehicle accident can turn your life upside down in seconds. Whether you’re a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian, injuries can lead to significant physical, emotional, and financial burdens. In Alberta, the legal process for seeking compensation is complex—but you don’t have to face it alone. Our firm is here to protect your rights and help you pursue the recovery you deserve.

Alberta operates under a tort-based insurance system, meaning that individuals injured in motor vehicle collisions can sue at-fault drivers for damages. Claims may include compensation for medical expenses, income loss, out-of-pocket costs, and pain and suffering. Some injuries—like soft-tissue injuries—may be subject to Alberta’s Minor Injury Regulation, which caps damages for certain types of claims. Others, particularly more serious or long-term injuries, may result in substantial compensation, depending on the circumstances and impact.

We assist clients through every step of the claims process—from filing and negotiating with insurers, to launching lawsuits when fair compensation isn’t offered. Our team works with medical professionals, accident reconstruction experts, and other specialists to ensure your claim is fully developed and evidence-based.

Property owners and occupiers in British Columbia have a legal duty to ensure their premises are reasonably safe for those who enter. When someone is injured due to unsafe conditions—whether at a private residence, business, or public facility—they may be entitled to compensation under the Occupiers Liability Act. Our firm assists injured individuals in pursuing claims when that duty of care has been breached.

Occupier’s liability claims can arise from a wide variety of incidents: slip-and-falls caused by wet or icy surfaces, injuries from poor maintenance or inadequate lighting, or accidents involving hazards like loose handrails, unsecured items falling over and causing injury or uneven flooring. In B.C., the law applies not only to property owners but also to tenants, businesses, and others who have control over a space. To succeed in a claim, the injured party must show that the occupier failed to take reasonable steps to prevent harm—something that often requires detailed investigation and legal analysis.

We help clients assess the merits of their case, gather evidence (such as incident reports, surveillance footage, and witness statements), and advocate for fair compensation including medical expenses incurred and expected to be incurred, lost wages including in the future, and pain and suffering. Whether the incident occurred in a retail store, rental property, residential property or public building, our team is ready to assist.

Being the victim of assault or battery is a deeply personal and often traumatic experience. While these acts may also lead to criminal charges, individuals have the right to pursue civil claims for compensation. Our firm helps clients assert their rights through the civil system—holding wrongdoers accountable and seeking meaningful redress for the harm caused.

In civil law, assault refers to the intentional act of causing someone to fear imminent physical harm, even if no contact occurs. Battery, on the other hand, involves the actual application of force to another person without their consent. These claims can arise in a wide range of settings—from altercations in public spaces to excessive force by security personnel, or even unwanted physical contact in medical or workplace contexts.

Victims of assault and battery may be entitled to compensation including medical expenses incurred and expected to be incurred, lost wages including in the future, pain and suffering, and emotional or psychological trauma. Unlike criminal proceedings, civil claims are initiated by the injured party and are decided on a balance of probabilities—a lower burden of proof than in criminal court. This allows victims to seek justice and financial recovery even if no criminal conviction is secured.

Our firm approaches these cases with discretion, compassion, and a strong commitment to advocacy. We help clients gather evidence, assess damages, and pursue fair outcomes—whether through negotiation or litigation. If you’ve experienced assault or battery, we’re here to help you take back control and move forward with confidence

Sexual assault is a deeply traumatic experience that can have lasting emotional, psychological, and financial impacts. While criminal charges may be pursued by the Crown, survivors in British Columbia also have the right to bring a civil claim—on their own terms—to seek compensation and accountability. Our firm is committed to supporting survivors through this process with compassion, discretion, and strong legal advocacy.

Survivors of sexual assault can pursue civil claims regardless of whether criminal charges have been laid or resulted in a conviction. These claims are based on the intentional torts of assault and battery, and the standard of proof is lower than in criminal court—requiring only a balance of probabilities. Importantly, there is no limitation period for civil claims involving sexual assault, meaning survivors can come forward when they are ready, even if the incident occurred many years ago.

Civil claims can be brought against individuals, institutions, or both—depending on the circumstances. Survivors may be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, therapy and medical expenses, lost income, and other damages. It is important to note, however, that these matters are complex and involve unique considerations in gathering evidence to prove the claim. Our firm works closely with clients to gather evidence, protect their privacy, and pursue justice in a way that respects their autonomy and healing journey.

We understand the courage it takes to come forward. Whether you’re ready to take legal action or simply want to understand your options, we’re here to listen and help you make informed decisions—at your pace, and with your dignity at the forefront.

When illness or injury prevents you from working, long-term disability (LTD) benefits are meant to provide financial stability while you focus on recovery. But too often, valid claims are denied by insurance companies—leaving individuals in a vulnerable position. If your LTD claim has been denied, our firm is here to help you challenge that decision and protect your rights.

LTD benefits are typically provided through employer-sponsored or private insurance plans and are governed by the terms of your policy. Denials can occur for many reasons: insufficient medical documentation, disputes over whether your condition meets the definition of “total disability,” allegations of non-compliance with treatment, or the insurer’s medical assessment purporting to show that you are not totally disabled. Regardless of the reason, you have the right to challenge the denial—and you don’t have to do it alone.

We assist clients at every stage of the process, from reviewing denial letters and gathering medical evidence to negotiating with insurers or pursuing litigation when necessary. Our team understands the tactics insurers use and how to build a compelling case that reflects the true impact of your condition. Whether your disability is physical, psychological, or both, we’re committed to helping you access the benefits you’re entitled to and regain peace of mind.

Dental treatment is meant to improve health and well-being—not cause harm. Unfortunately, when dental professionals fail to meet the accepted standard of care, the consequences can be painful, costly, and long-lasting. If you’ve suffered injury due to negligent dental care, our firm can help you understand your rights and pursue compensation

Dental negligence occurs when a dentist, orthodontist, or other oral health professional provides substandard care that results in injury. Common examples include misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of oral conditions, nerve damage during procedures, improper use of anesthesia, unnecessary extractions, or infections caused by unsanitary practices. These cases often require expert evidence to establish what the standard of care should have been—and how it was breached.

Victims of dental negligence may be entitled to compensation for corrective treatment, lost income, pain and suffering, and other related losses. We work closely with dental experts and medical professionals to build strong, evidence-based claims. Whether your injury occurred during a routine cleaning or a complex surgical procedure, our team is here to guide you through the legal process with clarity and compassion.
