Injured as a Pedestrian?

We Used to Work for the Insurance Companies — Now We Fight for You

Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable road users in Alberta. When a vehicle collides with someone on foot, the results are often catastrophic — brain trauma, spinal injuries, fractures, and long-term disability. For nearly a decade, we defended insurers in serious injury cases. Today, we use that insider knowledge to help injured Albertans get the compensation they need after pedestrian accidents.

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.
