Suffered a Spinal Cord Injury?

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

Spinal cord injuries are catastrophic — often leading to paralysis, lifelong care needs, and permanent changes in independence. Whether paraplegia or quadriplegia, these injuries require intensive rehabilitation, adaptive equipment, and financial resources that insurers fight to limit. For nearly a decade, we defended insurance companies. Today, we use that insider knowledge to fight for Albertans with spinal cord injuries.

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.

I hired Shiv for a very complex insurance matter with major liability risk. Within 90 days of taking over the file, he broke down the issues, developed a clear strategy, and significantly reduced the potential exposure.
