No, personal injury lawyers teach you about your rights, advise you how much money your claim is worth, and work to ensure that you are legally protected.

Our accident lawyers know the law. They will teach you about your rights and advise you how much your claim is worth. We handle all aspects of the lawsuit for you so that you can focus on your recovery.

If you do not know your rights or what your claim is worth, then you may settle for a low or unfair amount. Insurance companies want to lower your settlement as much as possible. Insurance companies are businesses seeking to maximize their profits.

The insurance company will hire a lawyer to defend its interests. This lawyer does not represent you and will actively seek to harm your case. A personal injury lawyer works to even the power balance between you and the insurance company.

Insurance adjusters and insurance lawyers will take notes of everything you say. It is important to know your rights so that you do not say or do something that hurts your case. Once retained, Preszler Law BC will deal with the insurance company and their lawyer for you.

Preszler Law BC does not need a lot of information before taking on your case. Our initial telephone conversation is usually all we need to tell you whether you have a case and whether we can help.

For motor vehicle accidents or falls, we will ask you when the accident happened and how the accident happened. We will also ask about what injuries you’ve suffered and where you’re feeling pain. This allows us to tell you whether you have a claim.

If we take on your case, then we will need to collect some of your medical records to investigate what injuries you`ve suffered. In order to request your medical records, we need to know your health card number.

The Law Society requires that we identify all clients before being retained. This means that we need to take a photocopy or picture of your government ID.

If you have a long-term disability dispute, then we need to know when your insurance coverage was denied, the name of your insurance company and general information on why you are not able to work.
The insurance company may try to offer you a low settlement before you have retained a lawyer and know your rights.

It is rare for a case to go to trial. The vast majority of cases settle out of court.

Sometimes, in order to get you the compensation you deserve, we will recommend going to trial. We will only recommend going to trial when we believe we can win your case.

Trials are complicated procedures. They often involve court application on what evidence is and is not admissible. Personal injury lawyers know proper courtroom procedure and how to persuasively present evidence in court; they handle the entire trial for you.

A trial is an opportunity to tell your story. The court will hear evidence on how your accident happened and how your injuries have affected your life. Your lawyer will spend a lot of time preparing you and other witnesses to give truthful, clear evidence in court. It is our job to make you feel comfortable with the process and remove any surprises.

Preszler Law BC’s lawyers prepare meticulously for trial. We appreciate that little details matter. We gather all of the available evidence about your injuries. We do careful, thorough legal research and witness interviews. We hire some of BC’s best medical experts to explain what injuries you’ve suffered, how they affect your work and personal life now and in the future, and what treatment you need.

Before trial, each party will have many opportunities to consider their case and make decisions on whether to settle out of court.
