Jesse Kendall Partner
Since his call to the bar, Jesse has worked hard to fight for his clients, holding insurance companies and defendants accountable for the harm they have caused. Jesse has represented clients in the Supreme Court of British Columbia and the Court of Appeal and has recovered compensation for his clients in negotiated settlements and in trial.
Jesse’s practice is restricted to plaintiff-only work – his personal injury practice includes medical negligence, insurance denials (life insurance, LTD denial, property losses), occupier’s liability claims (slip and falls), civil assaults and car accidents. In his class action practice, Jesse prosecutes claims involving pharmaceutical and medical devices, consumer products and nicotine products.
Jesse has seen insurance companies and other powerful organizations take advantage of people, and it is this injustice that motivates him to seek compensation for his clients. Fundamental to our system of justice is a notion of fairness. By assisting his clients from the initial days after an injury and guiding them through their litigation (and to trial if necessary), Jesse strives to ensure that his clients are treated fairly and receive fair compensation during difficult times in their lives.
