Dylan M. Kozlick

Biography

Dylan Kozlick is a trial lawyer with a civil litigation practice focused on personal injury claims, disability insurance claims, and estate litigation.

Dylan never acts for insurance companies. Instead, he represents clients who have been injured by the negligent conduct of others. He has a depth of experience with injuries arising in a wide variety of settings, including unsafe conditions on properties, slip and fall incidents, boating incidents, aircraft incidents, animal attacks, school or daycare negligence, unsafe sporting events, assault, and many others.

Dylan has extensive experience assisting clients who have suffered life-altering injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, orthopaedic injuries, spinal injuries, neurological injuries, and musculoskeletal or “whiplash” injuries. He also regularly handles cases involving psychological injuries such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety.

In addition to his personal injury work, Dylan assists clients with legal disputes over wills and other estate matters, including bringing claims for individuals who have been unfairly left out of a will by their parent or spouse (married or common law).

Dylan’s educational background began in the sciences, particularly the study of the human body and injury science. During his undergraduate training at the University of Victoria, he worked as a laboratory instructor in the Human Anatomy course. He then attended an intensive 4-year program at Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, where he graduated with academic and clinical honours.

After completing his Doctor of Chiropractic degree and running a successful chiropractic clinic on Vancouver Island for several years, Dylan suffered an injury which prevented him from continuing in his chiropractic practice. During his years as a chiropractor, he treated hundreds of patients for a variety of injuries including whiplash, neck and back pain, shoulder injuries and headaches.

Dylan attended law school at the University of Victoria where he received a number of academic awards including the Chris Considine Prize in Evidence, the Fasken Martineau DuMoulin Prize in Employment Law, the McCarthy Tetrault LLP Prize in Property Law, the Alexander Holburn Beaudin & Lang Scholarship and the Arvay Finlay Shield.

Throughout his legal career, he has practiced exclusively at RLR Lawyers. He believes that the best results are achieved through a personalized approach, grounded in a solid understanding of each client’s unique situation. Whether in settlement negotiations, mediations, or in the courtroom at trial, Dylan is a tireless advocate for the rights of his clients.

Dylan is also an active community member, particularly with causes related to supporting local healthcare. He has served on the board of directors of the Nanaimo Brain Injury Society, the Comox Valley Healthcare Foundation, and the Comox Valley Division of Family Practice. He also sits on the board of the Trial Lawyers Association of BC.

Dylan is grateful to have grown up in the beautiful Comox Valley, where he has returned to raise his family. Outside of the office or courtroom, he enjoys snowboarding, swimming in local rivers, and scuba diving.
