Before she was a lawyer, Emanuela was an archaeologist, completing a PhD and leading excavations at sites including the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Petra in Jordan.

That background shows up in how she practices law today. Emanuela takes the time to understand her clients' injuries, struggles, and losses, and brings a trauma-informed, emotionally sensitive approach to every case. She's also a strong advocate for mental health, both in her own life and in her practice.

Her path includes a clinical term at the Law Centre in downtown Victoria, where her advocacy earned her the YLaw Best Lawyering Award, and 10 months clerking at the Alberta Court of King's Bench, gaining insight into the justice system from behind the bench.

Outside of work, she's often on Gabriola Island, where her parents keep a hobby farm with goats, donkeys, chickens, and geese.

Personal injury compensation is rarely a single, straightforward figure. It’s typically made up of several distinct categories, each addressing a different aspect of how an injury has affected someone’s life.

Non-pecuniary damages account for pain and suffering, the physical and emotional toll of an injury that doesn’t come with a receipt but is still very real.

Income loss covers both past and future earnings. Looking back, this includes not only wages already missed because of the injury, but also opportunities that were lost along the way, such as a promotion, additional shifts, or work that could no longer be taken on. Looking ahead, it addresses the harder-to-quantify question of how the injury may limit someone’s ability to earn in the future.

Cost of future care looks ahead, covering the rehabilitation, treatment, and day-to-day support a person may need going forward, not just what’s already been spent.

Out-of-pocket expenses round things out, covering the smaller costs tied directly to treatment and recovery that tend to add up over time.

Which of these categories apply, and how significant each one is, depends entirely on the specifics of the injury and its impact.

Personal injury law covers more ground than most people realize.

✔️ Injuries from poorly maintained bike lanes or road hazards.
✔️ Harm from poorly marked construction or hazard zones.
✔️ An injury sustained defective equipment, including bicycles, and e-bikes.
✔️ Harm caused when a property owner knew about a hazard but didn’t fix it.
✔️ An injury that happened while visiting a recreational facility or an organized event.

If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies, it's worth asking.

No one plans to need a personal injury attorney. But when that moment comes, knowing what to expect makes all the difference.

Personal injury claims follow a structured path, from initial consultation through investigation, claim development, negotiation, and, where necessary, litigation.

At Avize Law Group, we guide clients through each stage deliberately, building strong cases while keeping you informed and supported throughout.

Cycling injuries raise questions that don't always have obvious answers.

✔️ What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?
✔️ Do people have insurance to cover cycling collisions?
✔️What if I was the only one involved in the collision?

The answers depend on where the incident happened and who was responsible for maintaining that space.

Accountability shouldn't depend on who's affected.

That's the principle behind our national class action on behalf of Black individuals who experienced abuse while incarcerated in a federal institution. The Federal Court has approved the notice plan following certification, allowing the claims to move forward on behalf of the class.

Avize Law Group represents the Class in this case against the Correctional Service of Canada.

Most people picture a courtroom when they think about a legal claim, but that's not usually how legal procedures actually play out in reality. Here's the difference between going to trial, and settling outside of the courtroom:

✔️Settling means reaching an agreement outside the courtroom, no judge, no jury, just both sides landing somewhere they can accept.

✔️Trial means a judge or jury actually decides the outcome, after hearing all the evidence.

✔️Most cases settle before ever reaching trial.

✔️But being genuinely ready to go to trial is often what gets an insurer to take an offer seriously in the first place.

It's less about which one happens, and more about being prepared for either.

ON THE BLOG: What Are the Duties of an Executor in British Columbia?

Being named an executor carries real legal weight. The role involves locating the will, gathering assets, paying debts, and distributing what remains, all while acting in the best interests of the beneficiaries. Understanding what the role requires, before accepting it or acting on it, can make the process considerably more manageable.

What does a personal injury lawyer actually do?

We believe in demystifying the legal process and putting that understanding back in our clients' hands. What a lawyer actually does usually has little to do with a courtroom.

Mostly, we work to understand what a fair valuation of your claim actually looks like. In a personal injury case, that can mean understanding medical records closely enough to know what they really mean for your recovery.

Ultimately we work towards the goal of helping you understand your own situation clearly enough to empower you to make your own decisions about it.

In BC, a spouse or child seeking to vary a will generally has 180 days from the date probate is granted to apply to the court.

Other estate claims can follow different timelines, depending on what's being disputed:

✔️Capacity challenges: questioning whether the will-maker had the mental capacity to make a valid will.

✔️Undue influence claims: raising concerns about pressure or manipulation affecting the will's terms.

✔️Executor disputes: concerns about how an estate is being administered or accounted for.

Understanding which timeline applies is often the first step toward understanding your options.
