Accidents

Accidents happen. However, that does not mean that you cannot be compensated for injuries, time off work, or payment for treatment that you have suffered or incurred as a result of that accident. If you were hurt in an accident, and the other party was at fault, it is possible to receive financial compensation for your injuries.

Navigating your unique circumstances.

The exact amount and type of compensation you can receive will vary depending on your circumstances. You may have suffered only mild injuries, but they completely prevent your ability to work; or you may have suffered very severe injuries, but were three weeks from retiring anyways, and are more interested in receiving treatment to get better than being compensated for that brief time off work. 

If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident – whether it was a motor vehicle accident, cycling incident, or anything else, contact our team of qualified lawyers to see if we can assist you.

Can a Cheerleading Coach or Program Be Liable for Athlete Injuries in British Columbia?

Justin Kiedrzyn

Cheerleading is a growing sport with thousands of participants across Canada, including many youth and competitive athletes in British Columbia. As the sport continues to expand, athletes are pushing the limits of their training and performances with increasingly complex stunts, lifts, and tumbling passes. With this growth, however, comes an increased risk of injury. This raises an important question: when a cheerleader is injured, who bears legal responsibility?
