BC Car Accident Lawyers

Car accidents are highly traumatic events that can cause lasting psychological harm as well as physical injuries. These injuries can include soft-tissue damage that isn’t immediately apparent, especially when your adrenaline level makes injuries less likely to cause pain. Even if you don’t think you’re hurt immediately following an accident, it’s vital that you file a claim as quickly as possible to ensure you can recover compensation later.

The results of two or more objects colliding at high speed often make it difficult to determine exactly what happened, which can be crucial for establishing liability. Car accident claims often require technical experts to analyze a collision. Schedule a consultation with a Diamond & Diamond BC car accident lawyer to determine the next step in your claim.

Dog Bites

The great majority of animal bites on humans are from dogs. However, horses, cats and zoo animals are also causes of animal bites on occasion. These bites are often minor nips that heal quickly, but serious animal attacks can result in permanent disfigurement and other injuries that require multiple surgeries to correct.

Children are the most common victims of dog attacks for several reasons. A child’s natural curiosity and limited ability to appreciate the threat a dog can pose frequently causes them to approach a strange dog too closely. Their smaller size also makes children more vulnerable to a dog attack. Furthermore, dog bites can cause emotional trauma more easily in children, leading them to develop phobias of dogs that can remain with them in adulthood.

British Columbia has strict laws on liability for dog owners. Anyone who has been bitten by a dog in this province should contact a personal injury lawyer from Diamond & Diamond to learn the type of compensation that may be available to them.

Slip and Fall

The liability for a slip and fall that takes place on someone else’s property often comes down to whether there was negligence on the part of the owner, property manager or some other responsible party. The cause of these accidents is often due to a failure to maintain the property, which can make the owner liable for damages. Other examples of liability in a slip-and-fall claim include failure to remove an existing hazard or notify people of the hazard. An accident that causes injuries is most likely to result to compensation when the property owner knew of a hazard but did nothing about it.

Vancouver Brain Injury Lawyers

Brain injuries are some of the most catastrophic injuries that can occur. They are often caused by accidents involving heavy machineries such as vehicles and workplace equipment. The brain’s key role in performing complex functions makes it extremely sensitive to even minor injuries. In addition, the brain is composed of soft tissue, so it’s vulnerable to physical trauma.

Brain injuries also have life-altering implications because they’re often permanent, unlike injuries to bone or other soft tissue that can heal over time. Consequences of brain injuries include severe impact on a person’s daily life and personality changes. These possibilities illustrate some of the reasons that brain injuries have received greater attention from the medical community in recent years.

The subtle nature of some brain injuries means they can go undetected for days or even months after the accident. The possibility of misdiagnosis also makes it difficult to treat these injuries effectively. A BC brain injury lawyer needs to understand these complex issues when representing someone with a brain injury.
