Personal Injury Law is a complex area of law, there are different laws for automobile accidents and the insurance laws of ICBC, and there are laws about workers compensation for each occupation and injury. When you are involved in an accident or have been injured in an accident you will want to find a lawyer who has experience with personal injury law claims.

The reasons people decide to seek the advice of a Personal Injury Lawyer is because when you’re dealing with a large corporation is because large insurance corporations like ICBC have their own corporate lawyers who are always trying to minimize the award you deserve, their goal isn’t to get you the award that you rightfully deserve for your accidents many times, it’s to protect their bottom line.

There seems to be confusion when dealing with ICBC. There are many people who believe they are going to receive compensation for their injuries when they are at fault.

The answer is yes you can receive compensation for your injuries if the other party is partially responsible. But if you are deemed to be 100% at fault for the accident ICBC will not compensate you for wages that you have lost from work or compensation for your suffering.

This is why sometimes it is important to have witnesses who can confirm your statements especially when the other party is at fault. If you don’t have any witnesses to collaborate your statements then it’s your word against the other parties, then this is up to the adjusters at ICBC to see who they will believe, and many times they will attach partial responsibility to both parties.

If you feel that the accident was completely caused by the other driver, we could help you with your case. We will review the facts of how the accident occurred, work with you in tracking down any potential witnesses if any and either have ICBC reverse their decision or increase the other person’s liability for the accident. This will increase the compensation for your injuries.

If you’re deemed to be 50% liable for the accident ICBC will only pay 50% of the award you’re awarded.

If you are 100% liable for an accident resulting in injury, ICBC will only cover medical expenses and you will not be compensated for any pain and suffering.

9 Steps to Dealing with an Accident

Visit our website at: http://www.martzpersonalinjurylaw.ca/ for more informaiton

1. Never leave the scene of an accident, if you’re involved in a car accident. If you leave the scene of an accident without properly exchanging information between the other party, you could be charged with a crime.
   
2. If there are witnesses make sure you get a witness to confirm your story. Make sure you have witnesses to confirm your story especially if the other person has run a red light. If the other party is at fault, but has a way to misrepresent the facts, it’ll be your word against his. Even using your passenger’s as witnesses help but are not as credible as having a third party that neither one of you know become a witness for you.

3. Take pictures of the scene of the accident, if you have a camera. This helps so the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia can have an accurate representation of how the accident occurred, this will also help solidify your statements when presenting to the ICBC claim adjusters, as they’ll have a clearer understanding of how the accident took place.

4. If you’re injured see a doctor as soon as possible, you’ll want your doctor to write up a report and do a thorough checkup to see if there are other injuries that you may not be aware of. If you’ll miss work make sure you keep a copy of the doctor’s notes. Keep all your prescription receipts. Speak with your doctor to see if you require a physiotherapy program, usually this will be covered by your insurance.

5. Sometimes you won’t feel any pain or discomfort from the accident until a day after the accident; many people don’t notice any pains or discomforts from the initial accident because they could be in shock with extra adrenaline rushing through their body, masking the pain. The pain can show up later. If you notice the pain appearing a few days after the accident, report it to your doctor and contact ICBC.

6. Recovery from an injury can sometimes take longer then people expect, so be patient. Depending on the severity of the accident some accidents can take years to heal, others linger for a long time. ICBC generally allows a case to go on for 2 years before they require a settlement.

7. Contact your witness to get a written statement. If you had witnesses confirm your statements, contact them to get a written statement or have your lawyer contact your witness for you.

8. Remember write down everything. We often forget what gets said, its best to record or write everything down while its still fresh in your head.

9. Sometimes dealing with a large corporation like ICBC can be difficult, we offer a free a consultation, contact us at 604-688-2468.
