what about
Car accidents?

Not all injuries are treated equally. Since May 1, 2021, almost all motor vehicle accident claims in British Columbia fall under ICBC’s no-fault insurance model. This system limits your right to sue, even if someone else was clearly at fault. Compensation for pain and suffering is no longer available in most cases, and recovery is restricted to a rigid set of benefits that often ignore the true cost of injury.

However, if you were injured in a motor vehicle accident that occurred before May 1, 2021, and you have an open claim or active lawsuit, we may still be able to help. We continue to represent clients in active lawsuits that fall under the old system—particularly those involving serious or complex injuries.

If your ICBC claim is still active and you're looking for a change—or a second opinion—we’re ready to take it from here. Contact us to see how we can help.

The reality is blunt

Under B.C.’s no-fault regime, almost all injured drivers and passengers have been stripped of their right to compensation. We haven’t backed down—the legislation just won’t let us in the ring.

We don’t hide our frustration with ICBC’s no-fault model. It stripped the people with real, lasting injuries of their right to be heard—and if and when the law still gives us room to fight, we fight hard.
