Shiv Ganesh

Shiv Ganesh is a Calgary lawyer who helps Albertans recover after serious injuries and resolve insurance disputes.

For nearly a decade, he represented major insurers, gaining an insider’s perspective on how claims are defended. He now applies that knowledge to advocate for individuals and businesses when insurers or defendants refuse to deal fairly.

Shiv is known for combining insider insurance experience with practical, results-driven advocacy that clients can trust.

His personal injury practice includes representing clients injured in car, motorcycle, and truck accidents, pedestrian and cyclist collisions, and serious slip-and-falls. He has acted in cases involving traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord injuries, fractures, chronic pain, and denied long-term disability claims. His approach is to pursue compensation with diligence while keeping clients informed with clear, practical advice.

He also advises on coverage disputes and denied or delayed claims under auto, disability, life, fire, flood, theft, property damage, and commercial liability policies. Shiv focuses on the facts, policy wording, and contractual obligations that determine whether coverage is owed. When insurers underpay, delay, or deny valid claims, he develops strategies to hold them accountable.

Shiv holds a Juris Doctor from the University of Calgary and a Master of Science in Molecular Biology from the University of Alberta. His academic training allows him to analyze medical issues effectively in complex personal injury cases.

He has appeared before the Alberta Court of Justice and the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta and is prepared to take cases to trial when necessary. Clients value his straightforward advice, professional judgment, and commitment to cost certainty. He offers flexible fee arrangements, including contingency and flat-fee structures.
