Vancouver is a busy coastal city, with commuters on the SkyTrain and arterial roads, cyclists along the Seawall and Stanley Park, and pedestrians navigating downtown streets in all kinds of weather.

Our Vancouver personal injury lawyers at Preszler Injury Lawyers help people across British Columbia and the rest of Canada pursue compensation after serious injuries.

Types Of Vancouver Personal Injury Cases Our Lawyers Take On
Our Vancouver personal injury team assists clients who have been hurt in many different types of incidents, including:
- Slips, falls, and other injuries on unsafe premises, including retail spaces, apartment buildings, and public areas
- Accidents on or near popular destinations such as the Stanley Park Seawall, neighbourhood streets, or busy commercial districts

- And more
In each case, we take the time to listen to your story, understand how the accident has affected your health, work, and family life, and identify potential paths forward.
Understanding Fault, Insurance, And Your Legal Options
Personal injury claims in British Columbia typically focus on whether another person or organization was negligent. Negligence involves a duty of care, a failure to meet that duty, and harm resulting from that failure. In Vancouver, this can involve drivers who are distracted or impaired, businesses that do not address known hazards, or other parties who do not follow reasonable safety practices.
Your claim may involve several overlapping issues, including:
- The extent to which others were at fault for the accident
- How your own actions, if any, may affect fault and compensation
- The role of public and private insurance coverage
- The impact of your injuries on your ability to work and care for yourself and your family
Our Vancouver personal injury lawyers can review the circumstances of your case and explain, in clear language, what options may be available under BC law.
How Our Vancouver Personal Injury Lawyers Work With You
When you contact Preszler Injury Lawyers for a free consultation, you will have an opportunity to tell us what happened, ask questions, and learn whether we may be able to help.
If we are able to take on your case, our team will start by gathering and analyzing evidence about the accident, including police or incident reports, photographs, and witness statements. We regularly work with clients’ medical providers and, where appropriate, independent experts to understand their diagnosis, prognosis, and future care needs.
Once we have a full picture of your situation, we can assess your income loss, loss of earning capacity, and other financial impacts. This way, we can calculate both the economic and non-economic losses you may have suffered due to your accident.
We’ll communicate with any insurance adjusters and defence counsel so you can focus on your health. We have years of experience exploring settlement negotiations for injured accident victims and, when necessary, preparing personal injury cases for trial
Throughout the process, we aim to keep you informed and involved. Our Vancouver personal injury lawyers emphasize accessible, plain-language communication so that you can make confident decisions about your future.
Serving Vancouver And Communities Across British Columbia
Although our office is located in Vancouver, our personal injury practice extends to clients across British Columbia. People are injured in many different settings: driving the Sea-to-Sky Highway, walking downtown, cycling along the Seawall, or visiting smaller communities throughout the province.
We recognize that travel can be difficult after an injury. Our team can often meet with you by phone or video, and in appropriate cases, we may arrange in-person meetings in locations that are more convenient for you. Our personal injury lawyers serve clients in Kelowna, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Victoria, and additional locations across British Columbia to help victims navigate their legal rights.
If your injuries have led to long-term work limitations and challenges with disability insurance, our BC team also handles long-term disability disputes, helping clients who are facing delayed, denied, or terminated benefits.

personal injury FAQs
Here are some commonly asked questions for personal injury claims
How long does it typically take to resolve a personal injury case in Ontario?
Timelines vary. Some cases resolve in months, while others take years if litigation becomes necessary. Factors include injury severity, available evidence, and how insurers respond.
Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company has made an offer?
Insurance companies often make low offers hoping victims will accept quickly. A lawyer reviews your case to determine whether the offer reflects your losses.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
You may still have a valid claim even if you believe you were partially at fault. Ontario’s laws permit you to recover compensation in cases of shared responsibility, though the final amount may reflect your portion of fault. Never assume you cannot file a claim. Let a lawyer assess the facts first.
How long does a personal injury case typically take?
That will depend on the severity of your injuries and the insurer’s willingness to negotiate.
What costs are involved in pursuing a personal injury claim?
Preszler Injury Lawyers works on contingency, so you don’t pay legal fees unless we recover compensation for you.
Can I still claim compensation if the accident happened on someone else’s property?
Yes. Property owners must maintain safe premises. If their negligence caused your injury, you may have a valid claim.
What should I bring to my free consultation?
Bring any documents you have related to the accident. This includes police reports, your driver’s licence and insurance information, the other party’s information, photos of the scene or your injuries, and any receipts for expenses like prescriptions or therapy. The more information you provide, the better we can assess your claim.
Why is it important to document my injuries and recovery process?
Keeping a simple journal helps track how your injuries affect your daily life. Note your pain levels, medical appointments, missed work or social activities, and any challenges you face with personal care or household chores. This documentation provides powerful evidence to support your claim for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
