Due to a major change in the law by the NDP Government, access to court has been prohibited to all victims of of ICBC-related Motor Vehicle accidents that occurred after May 1, 2021. Compensation for Pain, Suffering and Loss of Enjoyment of Life has been reduced by the NDP Government to $0, even for quadriplegic children confined to a wheel chair or a bed for the rest of their lives by the actions of a drunk driver. If you think this is unfair, contact your MLA at https://www.leg.bc.ca/learn-about-us/members.

Car Accidents

Car accidents are the most common type of personal injury accidents. Fault can normally be proven, if the other driver:

Hits you from the rear
Crosses over the centre line in a head on collision
Runs a red light
Runs a stop sign, or
Changes lanes suddenly into your vehicle

In cases where the other driver is making a left turn at a yellow light, fault will usually be disputed, but can still be proven, if witnesses confirm that you had no time to stop.

What To Do If Injured In A Car Accident

In all but rear-end collisions, it is important to secure witness names and telephone numbers to prove the other driver’s fault. Don’t rely on the police, to provide you with witness contact information, as they are not permitted to do so. Be sure to obtain the witness telephone numbers yourself. For future reference, you can download our Motor Vehicle Accident Checklist, and keep it in your car with a pen handy, in case of emergency.

Even if the accident was not your fault, your damages can be reduced if you were not wearing a seat-belt at the time of the collision. As such, be sure that everyone in your car is wearing a seat belt before you travel. Liability assessment can also affected by such considerations as alcohol or cell phone use. Be sure, of course, never to drink and drive. You should also refrain from using your cell phone when driving, or at the very least, obtain a handsfree device.

Even if the accident was not your fault, your damages can be reduced if you were not wearing a certified helmet at the time of the collision. As such, be sure to put one on before you ride. Liability assessment can also affected by such considerations as alcohol or cell phone use. Be sure, of course, never to drink and ride, or touch your cell phone when riding. Motor cycle tires are more of an issue in motor cycle accidents than car accidents. Make sure that your tires are frequently checked and appropriate for road conditions. The position in your lane of travel is also an issue in motor cycle accidents. As a general rule, the left side or centre of the lane is the preferred position.

You had the “Walk” signal
And were walking within the bounds of the cross-walk

Avoid the temptation to cut corners. It is important to secure witness names and telephone numbers to prove the car driver’s fault.
