Frequently Asked Questions about Personal Injury Law & Personal Injury Lawyers

If you were injured due to negligence of another party, or through circumstances outside of your own control, there is the possibility you need a personal injury lawyer to help you determine fault or litigate on your behalf.

We offer a wide variety of personal injury law services, and if you suffered from an accident similar to the ones below, we may be able to help. Even if your injury is unique, or different from what one would typically think of in personal injury cases, we’re here to help you determine the best path forward after your accident.

At Dhanu Dhaliwal Law Group, we understand that legal cases often arise unexpectedly and lead to unanticipated expense. This can be a significant stress piled upon the already stressful nature of your legal matter.

There are a few important factors to consider in hiring a personal injury lawyer.

First, we understand that personal injury law encompasses very personal and often troubling matters. It’s important that you hire a lawyer with whom you feel comfortable. That’s why we take the first step to introduce ourselves to you. We always get to know our clients first, as every situation is unique.

Because your situation is unique, you have to decide what process you want to take to solve your case. Whether that includes compensation for medical bills or litigation against a negligent workplace, we will help guide you in choosing the right path. We practice a wide range of personal injury law, so finding a personal injury lawyer who can help you down whichever path you take will not be a problem.

A personal injury lawyer, like any lawyer, is bound by a code of ethics and professional conduct. Unlike many other professions, attorneys cannot work for two competing parties. If a lawyer were to do so, they would be disbarred by the CBA.

Canada has many laws in place to ensure that individuals receive proper treatment in the courtroom and by their lawyer. Here at Dhanu Dhaliwal Law Group, we believe in not only the code of ethics we are sworn to, but the idea that all clients, in and out of the courtroom, deserve the utmost respect and diligence in their case.

We understand the bad reputation that personal injury lawyers get as “ambulance chasers,” and can assure you that our reality is far from that. Real Life Legal Solutions means more than litigation for its own sake. We, along with our trusted team of health professionals, will always have your best interests at heart, and our goal is to get you justice and the means to get back to normal or as close to normal as is possible.

A personal injury lawyer represents the interests of an individual who was injured as a result of the negligence of another person, company, government agency or any entity. Often, this means seeking monetary compensation for medical expenses, suffering, or loss of quality of life.

At Dhanu Dhaliwal Law Group, our team works with health professionals to assess your situation and recommend the best approach to your specific situation. We offer many personal injury law services, including the ones below.

The types of Personal Injury Law matters that the Dhanu Dhaliwal Law Group can help you with.

Motor vehicle drivers are required to obey the rules of the road that safeguard pedestrians. However, when those rules are not respected, it is the pedestrian that always loses. When a pedestrian is hit by a motor vehicle they are impacted at least twice: Once by the motor vehicle and then again by the unforgiving ground. Oftentimes, the aftermath of these injuries can feel like a third impact – medical bills, physical therapy and rehabilitation, and permanent changes to your lifestyle can be devastating.

Unfortunately, it is often senior citizens and children who are most at risk of being struck as they are more likely to be reliant on their own two feet as their primary mode of mobility. When metal meets flesh, it is not difficult to imagine the very serious types of injuries that can result. However, it is important to know that you may be entitled to compensation even if you are partly to blame.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident, it is vitally important that you understand what you are entitled to for your healthcare and financial needs both during the claim process and at the conclusion of your claim. Your personal injury lawyer will take the time to not only understand your case but also to get to know you in order to ensure you the best possible results. We are also prepared to meet you at a place and time convenient to you should your accident restrict your mobility.

Beautiful scenery, a mild climate, health consciousness, and high fuel prices means that British Columbians love riding their bikes. Ever-increasing bike ridership means municipalities are installing more bike lanes, but this network is still sporadic and patchy. A further concern for bike riders is that motor vehicle drivers often do not understand that they must share the roadways with bicyclists or simply do not have the patience or respect for this fact. Approximately four out of five crashes involving cyclists occur at intersections in B.C. When those crashes do occur, the results can be devastating, as a bicycle frame provides little protection against a much larger vehicle.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a bicycle accident, it is vitally important that you understand what you are entitled to for your healthcare and financial needs, both during the claim process and at the conclusion of your claim. Your personal injury lawyer will take the time to not only understand your case but also to get to know you in order to ensure you the best possible results. We are also prepared to meet you at a place and time convenient to you should your bicycle accident restrict your mobility.

Slipping and falling may not seem like a big deal, but it certainly can be. Common injuries resulting from a slip and fall can range all the way from broken bones, torn ligaments, and neck and back injuries to more serious head and spinal cord injuries. The government, private businesses, and homeowners all have an obligation to ensure their premises are safe for use by the public. You should not have to suffer financial loss and unnecessary pain and suffering when these duties are neglected by slippery conditions, inadequate lighting, inadequate maintenance, or various other factors. Although a slip and fall sounds simple, determining liability in these cases can actually be quite complicated to argue and win. We know the questions to ask about your slip and fall incident and will often take the time to visit the scene in order to help build your case. Your personal injury lawyer will also work with a professional network of healthcare specialists who will ensure your injury is properly assessed.

If you or a loved one has been injured due to a slip and fall, it is vitally important that you understand what you are entitled to for your healthcare and financial needs both during the claim process and at the conclusion of your claim. We take the time to not only understand your case but also to get to know you in order to ensure you the best possible results.

Over half of all reported traumatic brain injuries are as a result of motor vehicle accidents. They occur as a result of any force that penetrates or fractures the skull, such as striking the steering wheel or windshield. They can even result without any actual impact when the sheer force of the accident causes the brain to collide with the bone of the skull. Even a mild brain injury, otherwise known as a concussion, can lead to brain damage at the cellular level. Symptoms can include headaches, dizziness, depression, sleep issues, memory problems, mood swings, and more. More serious brain injuries can include these symptoms as well as seizures, paralysis, impaired communication skills, and many other cognitive and physical disabilities. Needless to say, a brain injury can be a life altering event. Dealing with brain injuries is further complicated by the fact that the consequences may not be readily apparent or easy to assess. Sometimes these symptoms may only develop with the passage of time.

Working with the right personal injury lawyer and healthcare specialists is a key component to ensuring the best possible outcome. We will be with you every step of the way to ensure you are not overwhelmed by your legal or life circumstances as you navigate your case. So do not lose hope. Call us if there is even a suspicion that you or a loved one is suffering from the effects of a brain injury.

The spinal cord is an amazingly complex column of nerves protected by a myelin sheath and 31 vertebrae. The spinal cord is the body’s information highway that sends signals from the brain to control all aspects of the body. Spinal cord injuries can be divided into two broad categories – incomplete and complete. The physical consequences of an incomplete injury vary depending on the extent of injury. A complete injury, however, means that the spinal cord is completely severed which eliminates related functions. Unlike a brain injury, those suffering a spinal cord injury will almost always know that they are injured. Prognosis from a spinal cord injury can vary from miraculous recovery within months to years of physical therapy with no progress. Our job is to help ensure the best possible legal and medical outcome regardless of the nature of your spinal cord injury. The ultimate goal of our team of lawyers and network of healthcare professionals is to provide you with an outcome that most closely resembles the life you previously enjoyed.

Advantages of
A REAL LIFE APPROACH

We wanted more from the law and so should you. That’s why we created a law firm with a real life approach formulated to bring you the best possible results with the least amount of stress and expense. Welcome to a powerful client-centred philosophy that turns our passion for people into advantages for you.

We understand that legal issues in one area of the law can quickly spill over into other legal arenas. You need to know if admitting civil liability could assist a criminal prosecution or if your criminal case could lead to civil, family or immigration repercussions. Real life legal solutions means having access to lawyers under one roof with experience in a wide range of legal fields. That means no running around trying to find the right lawyers to answer your questions when you are most stressed and can least afford it. Whatever your legal issue, chances are we have a lawyer just down the hall who can provide the right advice which saves you time, money and stress.

Before joining DD Law Group, our lawyers were employed by big government, big corporations and big downtown law firms.  We have dealt with everything from large scale civil litigation and complicated divorce settlements to sophisticated drug conspiracies and high stakes immigration board hearings.  Real life legal solutions means having the experience to identify the correct legal issues, to develop a legal strategy on the front end and to see that strategy through.  Actually having a game plan from the outset that you understand means less stress, greater efficiency and reduced cost.  And if you are not completely satisfied with a result, we have the experience to appeal your case to the highest levels of court.

Lawyers traditionally focus on legal issues rather than the individuals behind them. We firmly believe that your story is a powerful tool that can define the narrative of a case and help you achieve the best possible legal result. We not only want to know your story, we want to help you shape where it leads. Real life legal solutions means working hard to identify and deal with the reasons your life intersected with the law in the first place. Where appropriate, we will work to address these real life issues through our trusted network of counsellors, doctors and other professionals. This allows us to build a powerful narrative to advocate on your behalf. At the same time, it allows for the possibility to effect powerful and positive change in your real life.

Legal cases are not just won by lawyers. They often require doctors, counsellors, health care workers, private detectives and other professionals with specialized knowledge. We rely upon a trusted network of professionals who not only have the ability to help you in your real life but who can also turn what appears to be a losing case into a winning one. Real life legal solutions means that you won’t be on your own when it comes to securing appropriate and quality professional help both for you and your legal matter.

We pride ourselves on a legal team that treat one another like an extended family rather than mere work colleagues. We want you to share in the unique culture we have developed. Real life legal solutions means dealing with a firm whose lines of communication are always open when a question or issue arises. We always endeavour to ensure you are not left in the dark or feeling alone when urgent matters require our attention. This atmosphere of openness is why the relationships we forge with our clients often continue long after a file is closed.

We understand that legal cases often arise unexpectedly and lead to unanticipated expense. This can be a significant stress piled upon the already stressful nature of your legal matter. Real life legal solutions means offering a variety of fee structures, payment plans and competitive rates that work for you.
