Wrongful Death Lawyer in Vancouver — what to expect
A wrongful death claim in British Columbia lets dependants and family members recover for the financial and emotional loss caused by a preventable death — whether from a collision near Stanley Park, a workplace incident, or medical negligence at Vancouver General Hospital.
These claims are filed by the family, not the estate, and cover loss of financial support, loss of guidance and companionship, and funeral expenses, under British Columbia's Fatal Accidents-style legislation. Our Vancouver team handles the entire claim directly with the responsible party's insurer so your family isn't negotiating your loss with a claims adjuster, and takes the matter to BC Supreme Court, Vancouver if a fair resolution isn't offered.
What this can cover
- Loss of financial support and dependency
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of guidance, care and companionship
- Grief-related damages where permitted by provincial law
