Defending and protecting the rights of injured victims in British Columbia is what the attorneys at Warnett Hallen LLP have dedicated their careers to doing. And for the fourth year in a row, the Vancouver personal injury lawyers are being recognized for it.
The firm has been named the “Best Lawyer When Accident Strikes” for 2019 by The Georgia Straight newspaper. Votes are tallied from the newspaper’s more than 800,000 readers every year.
Paul Warnett, one of the firm’s founding partners, called the recognition humbling.
The attorneys at Warnett Hallen LLP represent clients in a variety of personal injury matters, including ICBC claims, personal injury cases, catastrophic injuries, animal attacks, slip and fall cases, dental malpractice claims and more.
The firm’s motto is also its guiding principle — settle for more.
Most personal injury claims result in settlements, where an accident victim or their family accepts a sum of money as compensation for injuries and losses stemming from an accident caused by someone else. The settlement amount may — or may not — be less than what the victim would get if they went to trial, but it’s not always prudent to risk a trial.
Instead, the attorneys at Warnett Hallen LLP work to obtain the maximum recovery possible for its clients during settlement negotiations. That means not backing down when ICBC or other parties try to place blame onto their clients. It means standing strong to make sure that their rights are protected every step of the way. And if no appropriate settlement amount can be reached, it means not hesitating to take a case into the courtroom. It’s that measured yet aggressive approach that has placed Warnett Hallen LLP at the top of the “Best of Vancouver” list for the past four years.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident in Vancouver or anywhere in British Columbia, it’s important to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney quickly. You could be entitled to compensation to help with the cost of medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering, among others.
Compensation is awarded on the premise of making the accident victim “whole” again. Although some catastrophic injuries may never allow the victim to make a full recovery, obtaining maximum compensation can help alleviate the financial hardships that often accompany the worst injuries. A proper award can also help victims and their families prepare for the future.
