Personal Injury
Car Accidents
Many of our clients have been injured in car accidents and most of these kinds of cases involve ICBC. Find out more about ICBC claims here. Injuries on Property If you were injured on someone's property, you may be able to claim compensation for your injuries. Owners of property are required to keep their property "reasonably safe" for users of the property. If it is not "reasonably safe", the owner can be held liable for injuries sustained by others. Some examples of conditions that have been found to be not reasonably safe include water on a store floor and ice on a driveway. Insurance companies for property owners will often tell injury victims that the owners were not at fault for the injuries suffered on their property. Sometimes this is true; often it is not. We can tell you if you have a case worth pursuing.
"Reasonably safe" is less than "perfectly safe" and an owner may not be liable to an injured person if the owner can show that reasonable steps were taken to keep the property safe, for example, by sweeping the floor or shoveling the driveway. What is reasonable can vary with the type of property and activities carried on at the property. We can investigate whether an owner is liable for an injury and give you proper advice.
What happens next Not all personal injury cases have to go to court to be resolved. In most cases, people who are injured can get fair and reasonable compensation by going through a negotiation process or to formal mediation. We can tell you more about these options, how they work and whether they might benefit you when we meet with you. Meeting with us to discuss your case and what you can do about your situation is free. For more information about meeting with us click here. |
