Personal Injury Law

If you feel that you are entitled to compensation for personal injury in an auto accident, we can help you lodge a successful claim. If you are in an auto accident in British Columbia, it is highly likely that you will be dealing with ICBC. When a claim is made, ICBC engages an adjuster to make a quick assessment of how much you should get. Unfortunately, the ICBC adjuster will not have your full interests at heart and may recommend compensation that is lower than what you deserve. We have a team of Surrey personal injury lawyers that are highly trained in ICBC personal injury law.

Using A Lawyer For ICBC Claims

Our team of professional personal injury lawyer Surrey will prioritize defending your rights by ensuring the personal injury claim is assessed correctly by the ICBC adjuster. They will collect and preserve evidence and later use it to make a strong claim. This will maximise your compensation.

How Does A Lawyer Impact Your Claim?

Some people fear that engaging an ICBC lawyer will have a negative impact on a personal injury claim. The truth is that it would be illegal and unethical to discriminate your personal injury claim on the grounds of engaging legal counsel. On the contrary doing so is within your rights and levels the playing field when negotiating the compensation.

At Fault Compensation

If you are wholly or partly at fault for the accident, you can still claim and get compensation. This is because ICBC has a ‘no-fault’ policy. It is highly advisable that you have a lawyer when making claims with these kinds of circumstances.

ICBC Claims & Tourism

Even if you are a tourist, you still have rights. It is highly advisable that you engage a local lawyer who will be familiar with ICBC personal injury law, who will actively defend your rights and pursue maximum compensation.

Length Of ICBC Claim Eligibility

There is a statute of limitations under British Columbia law. An accident victim must make a personal injury claim within two years of the accident. This is why it is highly advisable that you engage a personal injury lawyer Surrey as early as possible after your recovery. This will ensure that the evidence is still strong and the accident still memorable in the minds of the witnesses.

Injury Compensation

There is no fixed compensation amount. Each case is assessed by its merit depending on factors such as the extent of injuries, ability to resume work and possibilities of full rehabilitation.
