What happens legally if someone falls on your front steps? What if you sign a ski hill waiver and get injured? What are your legal duties when you serve alcohol at a gathering you host? These are the kinds of everyday questions most of us never get answered — until something goes wrong. To help you get ahead of the learning curve, join us for our free webinar with personal injury lawyer Jacqueline Small, who will answer questions on how personal injury law in BC applies in everyday situations. We'll cover common types of claims, what a claim needs to succeed, and what steps to take if you're injured.
