Spinal Cord Injury

Legal Action for Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries are among the most catastrophic damages anyone can suffer, affecting mobility, lifestyle and quality of life. Often suffered in motor vehicle accidents, these injuries can lead to a lifetime of rehabilitation and specialized medical care. If you have suffered a spinal cord injury, it is important to seek the advice of a knowledgeable lawyer as soon as possible.

At QA Law, we have been representing clients in personal injury and other civil litigation matters for more than 30 years in Vancouver. Our strength lies in our team of lawyers and legal professionals who work toward the common goal of advancing our clients’ interests in these cases.

 
Paralysis, Paraplegia and Quadriplegia, and More

Our lawyers are strong advocates who bring winning strategies to mediation, other forms of dispute resolution and, if necessary, the courtroom in cases involving:

  • Paralysis
  • Paraplegia
  • Quadriplegia
  • Sciatic nerve injuries
  • Radiating pain
  • Neurogenic pain


We work closely with our clients to determine the full compensation they need and then develop a case strategy through communication as we seek the best possible outcome. When appropriate, we work with a number of outside experts such as medical experts, economists, engineers and rehabilitation experts to determine the needs of our clients. While our goal is to seek the best compensation possible, we also utilize the appropriate experts to assist you in your rehabilitation. While you focus on rehabilitation and getting better, we focus on your legal case and deal with the insurer on your behalf.

Dennis Quinlan, K.C.

Lawyer

Called to the Bar: 1980
LL.B., University of British Columbia, 1979
B.Comm, University of British Columbia, 1975

Dennis was a founding member QA Law in 1998. Throughout his career, he has practised exclusively in the area of civil litigation, specializing in professional liability, personal injury, insurance and commercial matters. He has appeared at all levels of court in British Columbia including the Federal Court of Canada and Federal Court of Appeal and has acted as counsel in many complex mediations and arbitrations. Dennis has been a regular lecturer at continuing legal education courses involving a wide range of topics and is a past contributing author for the BC Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Practise Manual.

In 2013 Dennis was appointed Queens Counsel and in 2015 was the recipient of the Lee Samis Award from the Canadian Defence Lawyers.

Recently Dennis has decided to shift his focus to expanding his mediation and arbitration practise as mediator and arbitrator, having taken preparatory courses through Pepperdine University, Continuing Legal Education of BC and the Alternative Dispute Resolution Institute of Canada. The emphasis of his practise is insurance, personal injury and commercial disputes. Dennis is a member of the ADR Institute of BC civil roster of mediators.

Dennis remains at QA Law in the role of Associate Counsel. Outside of his working life, he can be found running slowly around the Stanley Park seawall, riding his bike out to Richmond, cross country skiing at Callaghan Valley and seeking the perfect golf swing at the driving range.
