If you were not at fault, you may also sue the other driver and recover under his or her third-party liability coverage.

The Mistake We Don’t Want You to Make

Understanding car accident law can be tricky. It’s easy to get lost.

Don’t make the mistake of not securing representation from a lawyer. This can be crucial to get the compensation you need after an accident.

Yes, every operator of a motor vehicle in British Columbia is required to carry auto insurance. But not all do, and how you navigate the insurance or legal system may determine just how much compensation you receive.

The system doesn’t necessarily work FOR you. You need to know exactly how to recover the benefits that you are entitled to.

As a result, you need a representative who can effectively represent you against the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) to investigate the facts of the accident and your losses and fight for maximum recovery.

Proving Fault in a Vancouver Car Accident

If you were not at fault for the accident, it is essential that you`re able to prove the other driver caused the accident in order to succeed with a third-party liability claim.

A Vancouver car accident lawyer from Preszler Injury Lawyers will work to compile the evidence that establishes the other driver’s liability. In many cases, this requires establishing that the other driver violated the Motor Vehicle Act.

Rear-End Collisions: Motor Vehicle Act Section 162 requires drivers follow at a safe distance so they have enough time to stop safely. Failure to abide by this law can lead to a rear-end collision.
Running a stop sign or red light: Motor Vehicle Act Sections 186 and 129 require drivers stop at stop signs and red lights, respectively. Drivers who violate these laws can cause serious wrecks that cause catastrophic injuries.
Left-Turn Collisions. Motor Vehicle Act Sections 174 deals with who has the right of way during left-turns. Even when someone makes an unsafe left-turn, the other driver must take reasonable precaution to avoid the accident, which is why liability can often be split between both drivers for left-turn accidents.

Other causes of car accidents include:

Drunk driving
Failure to obey traffic signals
Hit and run collisions
Distracted driving
Speeding

Types of Injuries in Car Accidents

Part of getting the compensation you need after a car accident is establishing the medical bills
and related damages that you sustained. This is largely related to the severity of your injuries.

Some common injuries in car accidents include:

Whiplash
Broken bones
Torn ligaments and tendons
Herniated discs and back pain
Chronic pain
Spinal cord injuries
Brain and head injuries

Your medical benefits should cover related medical care you received, medications, physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, and ambulance expenses. Your own Accident Benefits should cover these expenses up to $150,000.

No one plans for car accidents. They simply happen when least expected.

There are about 260,000 car accidents in British Columbia every year, reports ICBC, including 52,000 casualty accidents that leave 79,000 people hurt every year.

These accidents leave many people feeling helpless, with a mass of expenses on top of potentially debilitating trauma and pain.
