Seth Wheeldon

Seth Wheeldon's legal journey is marked by a significant transition from defending national insurance firms to championing the rights of individuals at Preszler Law. His seven-year tenure at a leading insurance defense firm equipped him with a deep understanding of how insurance entities handle injury claims, viewing them primarily as financial liabilities. This insider's perspective is now a cornerstone of Seth's approach, allowing him to strategically counter the tactics used by these companies and ensure fair compensation for those he represents.

Recognizing the profound impact accidents have on lives, Seth is committed to not just legal representation, but also to understanding the human aspect behind each case. His belief in the importance of a compassionate and empathetic advocate for injury victims drives his practice.

A notable highlight in Seth's career includes his significant victory in the case of Bucholtz v Zhang, 2020 BCSC 571.

Returning to Vancouver, Seth completed his Juris Doctorate at the University of British Columbia. These global experiences have endowed Seth with a unique, practical perspective that he brings to his law practice.
