Helping You With

Injury Claims

If you have been hurt by the fault of another, navigating the complex process of injury claims can be overwhelming. From dealing with the financial implications of lost wages to addressing ongoing medical treatment, the impact of a personal injury claim can be far-reaching. If this is an ICBC claim, please note that as of May 1, 2021, ICBC and the NDP have introduced a "No Fault" system which prohibits almost all lawsuits for ICBC injuries.

What are the exceptions to ICBC's "no fault" model?
If the other driver is convicted of certain Criminal Code offences, you may be able to bring a legal claim against them. In addition, if your crash was before May 1, 2021 and it has not been more than 2 years since your 19th birthday, you may be able to bring a claim. Please feel free to contact us if you think this may apply to you.

Can I still bring a lawsuit for an ICBC claim?
No, with very few exceptions, you cannot bring a legal claim for your ICBC injury in BC. Recent changes to the law have eliminated the ability to file personal injury lawsuits. Instead, the ICBC will assess and provide benefits based on a no-fault insurance model.
