What do you actually need a lawyer for?

A factor we often hear deterring people from pursuing a claim is fees, and wondering whether hiring a lawyer is even worth it. Avize works on a contingency fee basis, which means you don't pay legal fees upfront. Our fee comes from the settlement or award, and only if we win your case.

That means the decision to speak with a lawyer isn't a financial risk. It's a conversation, and one that often brings clarity long before any decision needs to be made.

New on the blog: What to Expect During Your Consultation with a Pedestrian Accident Lawyer.

Meeting with a lawyer for the first time can feel daunting, especially when you're not sure what to bring or what to expect. Our latest post walks through what actually happens in an initial consultation, what documentation can help, and the questions worth asking along the way.

You don’t need everything sorted to call a lawyer.

Many people wait to reach out until every detail feels lined up: the paperwork, the timeline, the whole story. But legal advice is often most useful early, before those pieces feel complete.

A first conversation with a lawyer isn’t a commitment. It’s a chance to understand what your options actually are.

Testamentary capacity isn't determined by age or diagnosis alone. It's a legal standard, and the bar may be lower than people expect.

In BC, courts look at whether the person understood the nature of the will, their assets, and the people who might have a claim. When that's in dispute, the details matter.

THIS OR THAT: Stay comfortable, or challenge the system?

Real advocacy means being willing to challenge power, even when it would be easier not to. That’s the kind of firm we’ve built, and the kind of work we’re proud to do.

Medical malpractice doesn't always look like what people expect. It can include:

✔️A medication given at the wrong dose, or in a dangerous combination.
✔️An injury that occurred during labour or delivery.
✔️A procedure performed without properly informed consent.
✔️ A discharge that happened before your condition was actually stable.
✔️A referral to a specialist that should have happened sooner than it did.

If something about your care hasn't sat right with you, it may be worth understanding your options.

Have I waited too long to start a lawsuit?

It's a common concern, and the answer isn't always as straightforward as people assume.

In BC, the clock on a legal claim doesn't always start on the day something happened. It often starts when the injury, or your ability to bring a claim, is reasonably discovered.

A few things can extend that timeline further, including:

✔️Delayed diagnosis or a slow-developing injury
✔️ The person affected being a minor at the time
✔️ Incapacity that prevented someone from acting sooner

The exceptions are fact-specific, which is exactly why "I think I've waited too long" is rarely the end of the conversation. It's usually the start of one.

When someone dies without a will, the estate doesn’t go unclaimed. It’s distributed according to a legal formula.

In BC, the Wills, Estates and Succession Act sets out a clear order for who inherits when there’s no will, starting with a spouse and children, and extending to other relatives where none exist.

This framework can bring clarity, but it doesn’t always reflect what the person would have wanted.

Families navigating this situation often benefit from understanding how the process works.

"My sibling's handling everything, and nobody's asked me a single question."

We hear this one a lot; being an executor isn't the same as having free rein. It's a legal role, with legal duties attached, and being kept in the dark isn't just frustrating, it may not be allowed.

If something feels off, trust that.

08/14/2026

"They told me these things just happen." It's a common thing we hear from parents after a difficult delivery, and it's rarely the full picture.

Birth trauma is one of the most emotionally complex areas of medical malpractice, because it involves navigating loss, fear, or lasting harm alongside difficult legal questions.

A few things worth knowing:

✔️Not every complication is malpractice, but a missed sign of distress or a delayed intervention might be.
✔️Preventability often comes down to what was known, or should have been known, at the time.
✔️"These things happen" doesn't mean nothing was missed.

You don't need certainty to start the conversation.

If something about your delivery experience still doesn't sit right, that instinct deserves to be taken seriously.
