Questions
Can I appeal a denied long-term disability claim in BC?
Yes. Tim Louis & Company helps clients appeal denied LTD claims, ensuring they receive benefits they're entitled to under their insurance policies.
What happens if someone dies without a will in British Columbia?
The estate is distributed according to BC's intestacy laws. Our probate lawyers guide families through this process.
How do I know if I've been wrongfully dismissed?
If you were let go without cause, severance, or due process, you may have grounds for a wrongful dismissal claim.
