ABOUT - PERSONAL
INJURY LAW PHILOSOPHY
We are a plaintiff-only law firm. This means that 100% of our work is representing people who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. Many firms do some plaintiff work and some I.C.B.C. defence work, but we have chosen not to represent I.C.B.C. This is because what is important to us is getting a fair settlement for injured people. While many other law firms handle a variety of legal work, we handle only cases where someone has been injured as a result of a motor vehicle accident.
In addition to receiving representation by a team of litigation lawyers that handle only car accident cases, you also receive the benefit of having a paralegal assigned to your specific case to facilitate communication between you and our firm. Your paralegal is available to speak with you even when the lawyer may be unavailable due to court commitments. We have chosen not to have voice mail.
Our goal is to achieve a fair settlement or trial award. In order to achieve this goal we will proceed with your case as if it were going to end up in trial. This will ensure that if a fair settlement is not offered by ICBC, you will have the option of having a judge of the Supreme Court of British Columbia tell ICBC what is fair for you. Having the possibility of a trial looming in the background facilitates productive and reasonable negotiations so that in fact most cases settle out of court. If you do not wish to proceed to court we will respect your decision.
