Lost a Loved One in an Accident?
We Used to Work for the Insurance Companies — Now We Fight for You.
The sudden loss of a family member in an accident is devastating. Beyond grief, families often face financial strain, funeral expenses, and the loss of income or household support. Insurers may offer low settlements or deny responsibility altogether. For nearly a decade, we defended insurance companies. Now we use that insider knowledge to fight for Alberta families seeking justice after wrongful death.

I would highly recommend Shiv Ganesh with Wilson Laycraft for a lawyer. He is down to earth, got right to work and didn't BS around, but got to the point of the matter. He listened intensely and communicated well. He is highly knowledgeable in his field . I would DEFINITELY have him represent myself or any family member, friend or acquaintance that needed a GREAT lawyer.
