ICBC Claims
If you are injured as a result of a car accident in BC you may have an ICBC Claim. You need an ICBC Settlement Lawyer to deal with ICBC.
Generally, if you are injured in a car accident in British Columbia, regardless of who is at fault, ICBC must provide accident benefits (Part 7 Benefits) to cover medical and rehabilitation expenses up to a maximum of $150,000. These accident benefits can include expenses such as physiotherapy or chiropractor treatments, medications, home support services, and medical equipment. In addition, if you are unable to work as a result of your injuries, you may be entitled to wage loss benefits.
In making an ICBC Claim you may be entitled to an award for pain and suffering, special damages (out of pocket expenses), wage loss, cost of future care expenses, and future loss of earning capacity.
If the damage to the vehicles involved is minor, ICBC may be denying your claim for compensation based on their Low Velocity Impact Collision Program. The ICBC Low Velocity Program is not accepted by Vancouver Personal Injury Lawyers and BC Courts. It is important to obtain legal advice from a Vancouver ICBC Lawyer if ICBC is denying your claim as a result of a Low Velocity Collision.
Consult a Vancouver ICBC Lawyer prior to dealing with ICBC to know all your rights. If liability (who is at fault) is an issue, a thorough investigation of the accident scene is necessary.
A Vancouver ICBC Lawyer will offer you a free consultation for your ICBC Claim and will take on your case on a contingency basis. This means if no money is recovered for your ICBC Injury Claim, there is no fee.
