Personal Injury Claims

As motorcyclists, we inherently know that our machines provide us with less protection than other vehicles. When we are involved in a collision, the injuries sustained are often more severe. Accidents happen. Even after 18 years of riding experience, Daryl was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in 1995. He understands the concerns of an injured rider.

If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, car accident, pedestrian accident, slip and fall or any other type of accident, contact Daryl for a free initial consultation. Don't delay. There are time limits for starting a lawsuit that, if missed, could cause your claim to be denied. Most injury claims are dealt with by contingency fee, which means you are not required to put money up front. Your legal fees are paid when the insurance company settles your claim or a Court orders your final award .

Criminal Matters

Finding yourself on the wrong side of the law can happen to anyone. If this happens to you, it is always in your best interest to speak with a lawyer before pleading guilty to any Criminal Code or Motor Vehicle Act offence. A criminal conviction may prevent you from being hired, keeping your current job, have insurance consequences or give rise to civil proceedings.

If you have been arrested or charged recently, there are a number of preliminary issues to which you must attend in court. Call us to learn what options or defences that may be available to you.

Motor Vehicle Offences

Often the local constabularies will target motorcyclists because it is believed they are easy prey. One police officer in Burnaby once told the Court that he would stop all motorcycles on a busy street because there was a good chance the rider would have a warrant out for their arrest, did not posses a valid motorcycle licence or the motorcycle would violate Provincial legislation. With law enforcement so keen to indict motorcyclists coupled with the increasing cost of Provincial fines, it is necessary to contest your tickets and violations.

Daryl is often available to assist with serious violations or explain the law in a manner that will allow you to challenge your own speeding, loud exhaust or other Provincial and City infractions.
