Profile

David launched the Whitelaw Twining Injury (WTinjury) practice when he joined us in 2002, building on an already successful career as a trial lawyer. Since then, he has expanded our list of bodily injury clients from less than ten to nearly 300—and growing. With an impressive and proven track record results, David has achieved a remarkable total of nearly $70 million paid out to injured clients in trial awards or settlements, just in the last decade.

Over the last 20 years of his practice, David has handled everything from chronic myofascial/musculoskeletal injury claims and psychiatric/psychological injury claims, to catastrophic injury claims and everything between. With extensive experience in claims such as spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries, David draws on his experience in these often-complicated cases to ensure every client’s claims are thoroughly presented to obtain a successful legal conclusion.

David frequently appears as trial and appeal counsel for injured parties in both the Supreme Court of British Columbia and the British Columbia Court of Appeal. He has also appeared as trial counsel in the Federal Court of Canada and the Federal Court of Appeal. With over two decades of experience and a thriving team of legal professionals behind him, David now spends a large part of his practice mentoring and consulting with other lawyers on his team.

David also has a special interest in the effective use of medical-legal and other critical experts in the handling of his client’s bodily injury claims. He has published many articles on the subject and presented as an invited guest at legal and other professional conferences in his field.
