Schmidt v. ICBC: Photographs Favour Insurer’s Version of Vancouver Auto Accident

It probably comes as no surprise that most car accidents occur at intersections. In fact, according to ICBC, intersection collisions represent about 60% of all motor vehicle accidents in B.C. For that reason, ICBC and the provincial government spearheaded the installation of over 140 “red light cameras” throughout B.C. in order to promote safer driving … Continue reading “Schmidt v. ICBC: Photographs Favour Insurer’s Version of Vancouver Auto Accident”

Who Will a Judge Believe in a “He Said/She Said” Car Accident Lawsuit?

Determining liability for a car accident often comes down to whom a B.C. judge finds more credible, the plaintiff or the defendant. In the absence of accident reconstruction experts or other specialists, personal injury claims typically succeed (or fail) based on a person’s ability to recall an accident that happened several years earlier. While judges do … Continue reading “Who Will a Judge Believe in a “He Said/She Said” Car Accident Lawsuit?”

Zacher v. Prescesky: B.C. Judge Awards Injured Pedestrian $2.1 Million

For B.C. pedestrians, getting hit by a car or truck is a major, life-altering event. Even in non-fatal pedestrian accidents, the victim may sustain a traumatic brain injury that can permanently affect his or her ability to work and live a normal life. This makes it all the more imperative for pedestrian accident victims to … Continue reading “Zacher v. Prescesky: B.C. Judge Awards Injured Pedestrian $2.1 Million”

Ferguson v. Shan: Foggy Conditions Lead to Highway 97 Accident

Driving in hazardous conditions is a common occurrence for B.C. drivers. It is important to exercise extra caution when there is bad weather that affects visibility on public highways. Failure to do so can result in a car accident, and in turn a personal injury lawsuit. For example, a B.C. Supreme Court judge recently held … Continue reading “Ferguson v. Shan: Foggy Conditions Lead to Highway 97 Accident”

Gill v. Lai: B.C. Court of Appeal Reduces Damage Award to Victim of Multiple Car Accidents

Car accidents can have serious, long-term ramifications for your ability to earn a living. Many accident victims find they are unable to return to work for months or years afterwards.

How Does an Auto Accident Affect a Self-Employed Person’s Income?

If you are self-employed, an auto accident can have a devastating impact on your ability to earn a living. Especially if you work in an industry where client demand tends to fluctuate, it may be difficult to calculate the precise loss of income attributable to an accident. Nevertheless, B.C. judges have a legal duty to … Continue reading “How Does an Auto Accident Affect a Self-Employed Person’s Income?”

Cardinal v. McKay: Self-Represented Plaintiff Held Liable for Prince George Accident

Although some car accident lawsuits require detailed reconstruction through the use of expert testimony to determine who was responsible, many other cases simply come down to the conflicting testimony of the plaintiff and the defendant. It is therefore up to the trial judge to decide whose testimony is more credible, and thus who is liable … Continue reading “Cardinal v. McKay: Self-Represented Plaintiff Held Liable for Prince George Accident”

Dornan v. Stephens: How do Prior Brain Injuries Factor into a Personal Injury Claim?

If you have sustained serious injuries in a car accident, both the negligent driver and ICBC will go over your past medical history with a fine-tooth comb. It is in their interests to find anything in your past that might reduce their own liability for the accident. Even if the accident aggravated a pre-existing injury, … Continue reading “Dornan v. Stephens: How do Prior Brain Injuries Factor into a Personal Injury Claim?”
