Unfortunately, a serious injury alone is not enough to secure compensation. In British Columbia, you must be able to show that someone else’s wrongful actions caused your injury and that it has had a real impact on your life. That means your claim needs more than just a description of what happened. You will need clear, organized evidence that supports every part of your case.

1. A Legal Duty of Care: The starting point for your case will be showing that the at-fault party had a responsibility to act carefully. That might be a property owner expected to keep walkways reasonably safe, a business required to follow health and safety rules, or a professional who must meet appropriate standards in their work.
2. A Failure to Meet That Duty: Next, you must demonstrate that this duty was not met. Examples could include ignoring known hazards, failing to clear snow and ice, not repairing broken handrails, or overlooking important safety protocols.

3. A Link Between Their Actions and Your Injury: It is not enough to show that someone was careless. You also have to connect their carelessness to your injury. Medical records, incident reports, witness statements, photographs, and expert opinions can all help establish that you would not have been hurt if the responsible party had taken proper care. 
4. Real, Measurable Losses: You must prove the harm you have suffered as a result of your injuries. This might look like physical pain, emotional distress, time away from work, the cost of treatment and rehabilitation, and the ways your injury has affected your daily activities and future plans. Documents like medical invoices, employment records, and personal statements all help demonstrate the full extent of your damages.

Our Vancouver personal injury lawyers at Preszler Injury Lawyers work to pull these pieces together into a clear, persuasive claim. We help you identify and preserve important evidence, consult with appropriate experts, and present your case to insurers or the court in a structured, compelling way. 

Your legal journey usually begins with a free consultation. A Vancouver personal injury lawyer listens to your story, asks key questions about how you were hurt, and explains how B.C. law may apply to your situation. You’ll get an honest, practical overview of your options and what the next steps could look like.

If you decide to move forward, our team will start a detailed investigation. This may include obtaining incident reports, medical records, photos or videos, witness statements, and more. The goal is to preserve evidence early and build a clear picture of what happened and who may be responsible.

As your treatment progresses, we work with you and your healthcare providers to understand your diagnosis, prognosis, and limitations. We also document your financial losses, such as time missed from work, out-of-pocket expenses, and the ways the injury has disrupted your daily life, so your claim reflects your true damages.

Once the key evidence is assembled, we organize it into a structured claim. This includes outlining how the defendant’s conduct breached their duty of care, connecting that conduct to your injuries, and quantifying your losses. Your Vancouver personal injury lawyer will provide guidance on a reasonable settlement range based on the facts of your case.

Most personal injury claims in BC resolve through negotiation rather than a full trial. In fact, less than 10% of personal injury claims in Canada actually go to court. We present your claim to the other side and engage in settlement discussions on your behalf. Throughout this process, we keep you informed, review any offers with you, and provide advice so you can make confident decisions about whether to settle or continue.

If a fair settlement can’t be reached through negotiation, your claim may proceed through the court system–often in the Supreme Court of British Columbia for more serious cases. Our lawyers handle court filings, procedural steps, and advocacy at hearings or trials. Whether your case resolves through settlement or judgment, our focus is on pursuing an outcome that fairly reflects the harm you’ve suffered.

Dealing with phone calls, forms, and follow-up letters from an insurance company can be overwhelming when you’re recovering from a serious injury. Adjusters may seem friendly, but their job is to minimize what the insurer pays out as much as possible. You deserve someone in your corner who understands how these companies operate and can respond on your behalf. 

When you work with Preszler Injury Lawyers, our Vancouver personal injury lawyers step in as the point of contact with the insurer. We review correspondence before you sign anything, help you avoid statements that could be used to minimize your claim, and make sure important deadlines and document requests are handled properly. 

Our team is experienced in evaluating offers and pushing back when they don’t reflect the full impact of your injuries. We focus on building a claim that is supported by evidence, such as:

• Detailed medical records and treatment notes
• Documentation of income loss and future earning impact
• Statements from witnesses, family members, or co-workers
• Expert opinions on your long-term prognosis and care needs
• And more

If an insurer remains unwilling to treat you fairly, our Vancouver personal injury lawyers are prepared to advance your claim through the courts in British Columbia. Throughout the process, we keep you informed and involved, but we take the day-to-day stress of dealing with the insurance company off your shoulders.
