In our product liability practice, we frequently deal with:
- technical causes, such as metal fatigue, defective designs, and materials engineering issues;
- catastrophic injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries or spinal cord damage combined with psychiatric trauma, which require voluminous medical evidence and complex future care; and
- international and appellate litigation involving complex jurisdictional questions, innovative legal argument and cross-border enforcement.
Over more than 30 years, our lawyers have achieved landmark wins, from decisions from the Supreme Court of Canada setting new law on anti-suit injunctions, the forum non conveniens doctrine, and civil conspiracy, to settlements and trial awards which include one of the largest damages awards for a personal injury in British Columbia history.
We assess cases on merit and work for our clients on a contingency fee basis. Our mission is to take on challenging and complex cases, get compensation for our clients, and advance the law to better protect Canadians from corporate wrongdoing.
