Personal Injury

A catastrophic injury completely alters the course of your life, often requiring extensive medical care and financial support. These injuries—such as brain damage, spinal cord injuries, amputations, or severe burns—can take months or years to heal, if they heal at all. If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for medical costs, lost wages, ongoing care, and pain and suffering. Our team of personal injury lawyers provide compassionate legal guidance to help you secure the financial support you need.

Chronic pain and fibromyalgia are debilitating conditions. The Supreme Court of Canada has recognized the impacts of chronic pain, despite the difficulties in measuring these conditions. Our personal injury lawyers understand the challenges you face, and work to ensure your condition is properly documented and assessed so you can be fairly compensated. We are committed to helping you receive the financial reimbursement you need to support your recovery.

If you have been injured on someone else’s property due to unsafe conditions, the property owner may be liable. Hazards like icy sidewalks, broken stairs, or falling objects can cause serious harm, leading to physical and financial burdens. If you have suffered an injury due to a property owner’s negligence, we can help you seek fair compensation.

Personal injury claims are not limited to physical harm; accidents can also cause lasting psychological and emotional trauma. Depression, anxiety, pain disorders, and cognitive difficulties are common after serious incidents. Lindsay Kenney’s personal injury team are sensitive to the impact of psychological injuries and works to ensure that insurers recognize and compensate clients for their suffering.

If you disagree with ICBC’s assessment of accident benefits, damages, or minor injury claims, you may need to file a claim with the Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT), which has exclusive jurisdiction over most motor vehicle accident disputes in BC. As of September 1, 2022, the CRT also handles disputes over accident responsibility. Our lawyers can guide you through the process and help you present your claim.

Soft tissue and whiplash injuries can be difficult to prove, especially when X-rays do not show the full extent of the damage. Without legal support, securing proper compensation can be challenging. Lindsay Kenney’s lawyers frequently deal with ICBC, ensuring clients receive the financial support they need. We carefully review medical records and consult experts when necessary to strengthen your claim and secure a fair outcome.

Losing a loved one is devastating, and navigating a wrongful death claim can feel overwhelming. If you are a surviving spouse, parent, or child, B.C.’s Family Compensation Act allows you to seek compensation for financial losses, loss of services, and loss of care and guidance. These claims are complex, with strict time limits and specific legal definitions for “parent,” “child,” and “spouse.” Our lawyers guide you through each step of the process, helping you understand your rights and pursue the compensation you are entitled to.
