Since 1982, Murphy Battista LLP has tenaciously represented accident victims through our offices in Vancouver. We extended our capacity to help individuals struggling with personal injury or insurance related matters through our office in Kelowna. Our Kelowna office is led by Bill Dick, K.C. – long time resident of the Okanagan. Recognized by Best Lawyers Canada™ and appointed King’s Counsel in 2018, Bill is an exceptional personal injury lawyer. He has over 25 years of experience helping injury victims get their lives back through successful litigation, mediation and arbitration. Bill is joined by Keri Grenier, well known Kelowna personal injury lawyer and a past contributor to the popular Castanet column INJURYwise. The third member of our Okanagan-based team is Matthew (Matt) Van Nostrand who returns to his home town after practicing with a large general insurance firm in Vancouver.
The Okanagan office also enjoys support from the lawyers and staff in our Vancouver office including founding-partner Joe Murphy, K.C. and partner Scott Stanley.
Get Your Life Back: Our Philosophy and Approach
Murphy Battista LLP only acts for victims and plaintiffs in motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice and insurance law cases. We focus on doing excellent, caring work for our clients and their families with the goal of helping them get their lives back. We enjoy a high rate of referrals from people who are sufficiently impressed with our work to suggest that other people hire us. Using this simple approach, the firm has grown to 22 lawyers and approximately 40 support staff. At our Kelowna office, we bring the resources and expertise that we have accumulated through our highly successful Vancouver practice to clients in the Okanagan.
A serious accident can completely derail your life. The inability to work, frustrations and anxiety associated with a long rehabilitation period, and the psychological impact of a permanent disability can be overwhelming. This affects not only the injured person but also their families and loved ones. After taking care of the immediate legal requirements to protect and preserve our clients’ rights, our first concern is to help guide our clients through the recovery process. Once we are satisfied our clients have the support and resources they need to get them on the road to recovery, we turn our full attention to the liability and compensation issues that need to be resolved so that our clients can get their lives back.
