Dog Bites
The great majority of animal bites on humans are from dogs. However, horses, cats and zoo animals are also causes of animal bites on occasion. These bites are often minor nips that heal quickly, but serious animal attacks can result in permanent disfigurement and other injuries that require multiple surgeries to correct.
Children are the most common victims ofdog attacksfor several reasons. A child’s natural curiosity and limited ability to appreciate the threat a dog can pose frequently causes them to approach a strange dog too closely. Their smaller size also makes children more vulnerable to a dog attack. Furthermore, dog bites can cause emotional trauma more easily in children, leading them to develop phobias of dogs that can remain with them in adulthood.
British Columbiahas strict laws on liability for dog owners. Anyone who has been bitten by a dog in this province should contact a personal injury lawyer from Diamond & Diamond to learn the type of compensation that may be available to them.

Slip and Fall
The liability for aslip and fallthat takes place on someone else’s property often comes down to whether there was negligence on the part of the owner, property manager or some other responsible party. The cause of these accidents is often due to a failure to maintain the property, which can make the owner liable for damages.

Vancouver Brain Injury Lawyers
Brain injuriesare some of the most catastrophic injuries that can occur. They are often caused by accidents involving heavy machineries such as vehicles and workplace equipment. The brain’s key role in performing complex functions makes it extremely sensitive to even minor injuries. In addition, the brain is composed of soft tissue, so it’s vulnerable to physical trauma.
Brain injuries also have life-altering implications because they’re often permanent, unlike injuries to bone or other soft tissue that can heal over time. Consequences of brain injuries include severe impact on a person’s daily life and personality changes. These possibilities illustrate some of the reasons that brain injuries have received greater attention from the medical community in recent years.
The subtle nature of some brain injuries means they can go undetected for days or even months after the accident.
