Daniel Corrin

Daniel is a principal of Brain & Injury Law (Collette Parsons Corrin) a firm dedicated to helping individuals following serious injury. He has more than 20 years of civil litigation experience, mostly focused on traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Daniel gained significant experience with opportunities to help, work with, learn from and guide clients recovering from TBI and other catastrophic injuries both medically and in litigation. He has extensive trial experience prosecuting cases relating to “mild,” “moderate,” and “severe” brain injuries as well as spinal cord injury, medical malpractice and “shaken baby” syndrome. Most have resulted in multi-million dollar judgments assisting those recovering from life changing injuries.

Most recently, Daniel has taken up the challenge of mediating legal disputes to assist individuals, institutions and insurers to navigate the way to successful resolutions without judicial intervention.
Daniel is active in the legal, medical and brain injury communities. He has organized and chaired many legal education conferences as chair of the Trial Lawyers Association of BC (TLABC) seminar committee for many years. He has spoken at international medical conferences, brain injury conferences and privately to physicians, rehabilitation professionals and patients. He is proud of the assistance and guidance he has been able to provide to local brain injury organizations throughout BC.

If you are to take anything from this biography, Daniel would like you to know that far more important than his legal expertise, he is most inspired by the opportunity his successful career has provided him to work directly with hundreds of injured individuals and their families and the time he has spent at their sides in hospital, their homes and when needed the courthouse. The most memorable hours have been spent in rehabilitation meetings advocating for fair treatment and care and with clients listening to their amazing stories of the struggle to cope and recover.

Daniel attended the University of British Columbia (UBC) for his undergraduate degree and the University of Victoria (UVic) for his LLB degree. His most recent course work has been in the field of mediation.
