PAINE EDMONDS LLP – MULTI-SERVICE LAW FIRM IN DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER

An accident can change your life in a moment and plunge you into uncertainty at
every level. This is when you need a personal injury lawyer with experience in
catastrophic injury claim law. In the Lower Mainland, victims with catastrophic
injuries can turn to Paine Edmonds, personal injury lawyers in Vancouver, for
the support and legal guidance they need at this critical time.

A catastrophic injury is quite rigidly defined as an injury which causes
long-term or permanent limitation of daily activities, work and self care.
Typically, these are injuries such as severe fractures of the bone or damage to
the brain or spinal cord. When you or a family member experiences such a
life-changing injury, you will need a multidisciplinary team of people to help
with the medical, psychological, financial and legal consequences. At Paine
Edmonds, we can help you find the experts, such as doctors, physical and
occupational therapists, psychologists, social workers and financial advisors
who, together, can give you the guidance you need at this time.

Dealing with a catastrophic injury to a loved one or recovering from one
yourself requires all your energy and resources. Dealing with the insurance
company or the court should not distract you from your first priority: recovery.
That’s why your Paine Edmonds catastrophic injury claim lawyer will take charge
of organizing the investigation and documentation of your case so that a claim
can be filed in a timely manner. We are experienced in providing people dealing
with catastrophic injuries the support and advocacy they need to re-imagine and
rebuild their future.


HELPING YOU FOCUS ON RECOVERY

Paine Edmonds LLP has been protecting the rights of British Columbians for more
than 70 years. Our team of distinguished lawyers has been part of groundbreaking
cases in personal injury law and we have established a reputation as staunch
advocates for the fair and compassionate compensation of individuals who have
sustained traumatic injuries.

As your advocates, our focus is on promoting your recovery. If you have endured
a catastrophic injury, you will have the support of both a Paine Edmonds LLP
personal injury lawyer and an experienced case manager who can help you with
coordinating care from medical and rehabilitation professionals. Together, they
will also relieve you of assembling the documentation, assessments and reports
necessary to file a claim – this is needless stress for you at a time when you
are physically and emotionally vulnerable.

If you have questions about your medical care, finances or legal rights, your
Paine Edmonds team will be available to ensure that you have the information you
need to make good decisions for yourself and your loved ones.

With our contingency-based fee model, you don’t have to worry about how you will
pay legal fees at a time when your income is compromised and you are financially
vulnerable. In fact, you won’t owe any money until you receive compensation. If
your case results in a positive outcome, your payment will be a percentage of
the compensation.


PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS IN VANCOUVER

The majority of injuries that we deal with at Paine Edmonds are, most
fortunately, not catastrophic in nature. However, we understand that injuries of
many kinds result in loss of income, pain and suffering. As your personal injury
lawyers in Vancouver, we can play a crucial role in your recovery by taking on
the stress of dealing with insurance companies and other entities who may see
your injury simply as a liability on their bottom line.

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident of any kind, come in for an
initial consultation and let us guide you through the next steps to build a
solid case. We know ICBC’s rules and general practices and can advise you on
your rights and entitlements: keep in mind that your ICBC adjuster is not
required to offer you this information. For this reason, we recommend that you
talk to a personal injury lawyer before you call the insurance company. If, for
any reason, your disability benefits have been denied or have not been disbursed
in a timely manner, we will actively pursue the recovery of these benefits to
promote your recovery.

Paine Edmonds LLP has been a leader in the field of personal injury law and
catastrophic injury claims for decades. Our years of experience have helped us
understand the short-term and long-term challenges you and your family will face
in the aftermath of an injury. At a time when you are necessarily focused on the
physical and emotional pain caused by your injury, we can provide you with
holistic, compassionate and far-sighted legal guidance as well as a variety of
resources to help promote your recovery. Through negotiation, and, if necessary,
litigation, we will make every effort to secure for you the fair compensation
you need to rebuild your life from a critical injury.
