British Columbia and Alberta Personal Injury Lawyer

Personal injury law protects people who were hurt because someone acted negligently. Since injuries lead to multiple expenses, including medical bills and lost wages, filing a claim is a way to cover them.

If you were hurt because of someone’s careless actions, you have the right to seek compensation. The faster you take legal action and retain a legal professional, the easier it may be to build a strong case. With one of our personal injury lawyers by your side, your chances of a full financial recovery increases significantly.

Why Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Hiring one of our personal injury lawyers in British Columbia and Alberta has many advantages. Handling the case without legal representation often leads to mistakes. Many of these mistakes are irreversible. When a person is recovering from physical injuries and emotional trauma, dealing with legal issues is nearly impossible. The lack of legal knowledge puts them at a serious disadvantage, especially when it comes to negotiating with the Insurance Company who will look to take advantage of them.

When an experienced barrister or solicitor handles the case, the injured party has the chance to recover maximum damages and get their life back on track.

Reasons to Hire a Lawyer

Personal injury cases are always complex. The at-fault party and their Insurance Company work hard to avoid responsibility. They can hire legal teams, put pressure on emotionally vulnerable victims, and delay payouts. The best time to hire a lawyer is right after the accident, while it is still fresh in the minds of the people involved and when evidence is still available. Even if the injured person does not have any evidence against the at-fault party yet, they need to consult a lawyer.

Over time, opportunities for gathering proper evidence and getting eyewitness testimony become fewer and fewer. The faster a legal team can start working on the case, the easier it will be to achieve the desired outcome. Since the limitation period for filing personal injury claims in BC and Alberta is two years, many people make the mistake of delaying legal action. This usually has adverse consequences on the quality of the claim.
