Professional Legal Representation for Personal Injury Victims in Nanaimo

Personal injuries often occur when you least expect them, such as when driving to or from work and while shopping or enjoying social activities with friends and family. While commonly considered as being accidental in nature, the fact is that it is often the reckless and negligent actions of others which are ultimately to blame.

We Hold Those Responsible for Your Injuries Accountable

In our decades worth of experience as personal injury lawyers in Nanaimo, we know that most accidents are often due to the careless and reckless actions of others. Under the British Columbia Negligence Act, those responsible for your injuries can be held accountable for the medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses you suffer. At Preszler Injury Lawyers, we provide the trusted legal representation injured clients need in the following types of cases:

• Motor vehicle accidents: Often the result of dangerous driving behaviors such as speeding, distracted driving, and driving under the influence, you may be entitled to compensation through a claim filed against the at fault driver through the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC).
• Slips, trips, and falls: Often considered the result of clumsiness or not watching where you are going, slips, trips, and falls are actually mostly due to a failure of property owners or managers in maintaining the premises. Wet floors, uneven sidewalks, and poor lighting all make these accidents more likely, and property owners can be held liable through a claim against their insurer.
• Being struck by or against objects: Injuries due to being struck by or against objects often occur near construction or renovation sites, at sporting events, or in stores due to overstocked shelves and improperly fastened fixtures. When a lack of safety precautions or employee errors causes you to suffer harm, you may be entitled to compensation in a negligence claim.
• Dog bites and attacks: Animals that are unsecured or allowed to run loose can cause injuries that leave physical and emotional scars. In these cases, the owner may be held liable through a claim for the current and future damages you suffer as a result.
• Dangerous and defective products: When manufacturers produce dangerous products or fail to provide the proper instructions or safety warnings, they can also be held accountable through a negligence claim.

Depending on the circumstances and the severity of your injuries, you may be entitled to coverage of your current and future medical costs, reimbursement for lost wages and future losses in earnings, and compensation for the mental anguish, loss of enjoyment in life, and loss of companionship.
