Congratulations to Tyler Dennis for winning a jury trial
ICBC chooses juries in personal injury cases when they believe a jury will be more easily convinced to award less to injured people.
Choosing a jury makes the trial longer, more expensive, and more complicated. ICBC will often make low offers with a jury trial, hoping the plaintiff’s law firm fears what the jury will award.
At Preszler Law, we often run more ICBC trials than any other law firm in the province so do not shy away from jury trials. We will take cases to trial when it is the right thing to do, often because ICBC makes low offers.
We are pleased to see the jury return the right verdict, awarding our client $207,500 in damages, substantially beating our client’s own pre-trial offer to settle and beating ICBC’s offer to settle by an even wider margin.
