About Kirk

Kirk Wirsig has practised civil litigation since his call to the British Columbia Bar in 1986, focusing on the litigation of insurance claims for individuals whose benefits have been denied. He has represented more than two thousand British Columbians in disputes over disability benefits, life coverage, collateral mortgage coverage, critical illness, and fire loss. His experience includes tribunal and administrative hearings, dozens of Supreme Court trials (including civil jury trials), cases before the BC Court of Appeal, and appearances at all levels of Federal Court. For more than ten years he chaired the Western Canadian Disability Conference, covering coverage denials tied to conditions such as lupus, Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain and fatigue disorders. He is preferred legal counsel on insurance matters for the Resident Physicians of British Columbia. He holds a B.A. (Honours) and an LL.B. from the University of British Columbia.
