Car Accidents in British Columbia

Since the arrival of “No-Fault” ICBC insurance on May 1, 2021, those who are injured in a motor vehicle accident in British Columbia are no longer entitled to pursue fair compensation for injuries; they are stuck receiving ICBC “enhanced care benefits” only.

The NDP government has made it prohibitive for lawyers to help with ICBC claims, putting injured victims at the mercy of ICBC adjusters who may or may not be fair in their delivery of “enhanced care benefits”. There are a few exceptions to this terrible piece of legislation. One exception is, if you are a Washington State driver injured in British Columbia, you are likely able to pursue an injury claim in Washington State if you carry uninsured motorist protection (UIM). We can help you pursue that avenue.
