Stephen has been a litigation lawyer with Murphy Battista since 2003. With a focus on personal injury and insurance matters ranging from motor vehicle negligence to product liability, Stephen has resolved numerous major loss claims involving ICBC. He represents clients with traumatic brain injury, paraplegia, quadriplegia, chronic pain, psychiatric injuries, and other trauma induced injuries.

He acts for people from all walks of life, ranging from doctors, lawyers, tradesmen, nurses, firefighters, police, students, children, teachers and all kinds of labouring positions. It’s Stephen’s belief that understanding a person’s job requirements and lifestyle are critical in evaluating their ongoing injuries and how it may affect their future. He also understands the complexities of representing young children, which adds an additional element of required expertise to analyze future, unanticipated consequences of injuries.

Outside of work, Stephen enjoys traveling and remains active playing competitive soccer — he was even a member of a Canadian team that participates in a World Cup for lawyers on a bi-annual basis from 2000 to 2014.

Stephen is currently a member of the Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia, acting as an executive in past years, and is also a member of the American Association for Justice.
