Spinal Cord Injury
Our stress-free claims process puts your recovery first.
Client intake
The process starts with a free consultation, wherever you are in B.C. We arrange to meet with you, your family and your doctors in the hospital or at your home, by phone or in-person, wherever is most convenient for all.
Establish immediate care and gather information
As soon as you’ve retained us, we start to collect details about your case such as accident reports, clinical records and potential witness interviews.
Our firm offers a variety of legal services in addition to personal injury claims, including estate planning. We can help establish committeeship or powers of attorney to ensure you have assistance from loved ones.
Ongoing care and follow-up by your lawyer
We track your progress and check in with you as often as necessary. We’re different from other firms because you will have direct access to your lawyer throughout the process rather than a case manager.
Your legal team includes a senior lawyer and their legal assistant and often a second lawyer. Our entire personal injury team is available to you any time. Rest assured, you won’t be left waiting for a call back.
Point of maximal medical recovery
In spinal cord injury claims, enough time must pass to allow doctors to be in a position to assess your medical future before resolving your claim.
Medical treatment often goes through stages (rehab, surgery, etc.) each with its own recovery process before you reach a stable condition with a determined prognosis.
When you have reached a point of maximal medical recovery, your future medical needs can be determined. This is when your lawyer is able to quantify the damages required to compensate you for your injury.
Prepare for trial
Your lawyer may be able to get you a fair settlement without going to trial. If a fair settlement has not been offered, we prepare your claim for trial and gather evidence to present a strong case in court.
