At Hammerco Lawyers our lawyers and staff can provide legal services in several languages. We believe it is important to make our clients discuss their matters in the language they are most confident and comfortable expressing themselves in. Some of these languages include: Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Arabic, and Farsi. Here's our ad, which I use to reach out to my Farsi speaking community.

Does No Fault sound too good to be true? That’s because it is. Rather than receiving a fair settlement and compensation for pain and suffering, this new system... will limit compensation to treatment and wage loss benefits and limit British Columbians’ rights to a legal representation to advocate for the care and compensation they deserve after an accident.

Vote No to No Fault by voting No to the NDP. If re-elected in this provincial election, the BC NDP is planning to implement their harmful No Fault policy at ICB...C. It's essential that you make your voice heard. Find out where & how to vote: https://wheretovote.elections.bc.ca/ Under a No Fault system, if you are injured by another driver’s recklessness, you and the reckless driver would have the same rights to care and compensation. Your care would be controlled by ICBC insurance adjusters who decide on what treatment you should have access to. If they deny you the support you need, you cannot challenge that decision through an independent court. This election is your chance to speak up.

This September, a team of Hammerberg associates joined over 100 other BC lawyers to provide free legal advice at the Pro Bono Going Public 2020 event to raise... money to help serve low- and modest-income British Columbians in need. To keep up with growing demand for free legal help, this year’s Access Pro Bono BC fundraiser was delivered online and on the telephone rather than in-person. Together our associates raised almost $1,000 towards this great cause! See more

We trust caregivers to protect our loved one’s welfare, but this trust can be misplaced. It is estimated that only one in five incidents of elder abuse comes ...to the attention of those who can help. Considered to be a silent condition, increased media attention has led more people to speak up against elder exploitation, neglect and abuse, and hold those responsible accountable. I spoke about this recently in the Helpforme Legal Minute on 89.7, Juice FM. Here is an excerpt from the radio show: "Abuse can take many forms, such as physical, sexual, emotional, or financial. Helpforme understands how difficult it can be for victims of abuse to come forward and how devastating it is for loved ones to learn that a senior member of their family has been mistreated. In cases of Negligent Elderly Care, there is legislation in place that aims to protect the most vulnerable in our society. Negligent elderly care can take the form of neglect; unsafe premises; lack of supervision; untrained staff; or the lack of appropriate response systems. It can also include physical, sexual or emotional abuse. It is often difficult to ascertain what actually occurred, especially if the victim of potential negligence has diminished mental capacity, such as dementia. If you are concerned that a loved one may have been the victim of abuse by a caregiver, please contact us. We can provide a free consultation to discuss your options in this very difficult time. We’re here for you to protect your loved one’s rights and to pursue justice on their behalf."

Have you ever had to challenge a will? In BC, a Will can be challenged on several grounds: - Challenge the Will based on capacity - Challenge the Will based on ...undue influence - Challenge the Will based on unfair distribution of assets - Challenge the Will based on improper execution - Challenge the Will based on a constructive trust - Challenge the validity of pre-death gifts Learn more about challenging wills with our Estate Litigation Handbook: www.helpforme.ca/law-handbook/challenges-to-the-will/
