Common questions about personal injury lawyers in Surrey

Can I sue after a car crash in British Columbia?

Usually not. Under ICBC's Enhanced Care model it is not possible to sue for compensation except in limited circumstances — for example, if the at-fault driver is convicted of certain Criminal Code offences such as impaired driving. Instead, ICBC provides benefits, and disputes with ICBC go to the Civil Resolution Tribunal.

How long do I have to start an injury claim in British Columbia?

BC has a single two-year basic limitation period for civil claims. Time limits also apply to disputes with ICBC at the Civil Resolution Tribunal. A lawyer can confirm the dates that apply to you.

Where are injury claims decided in British Columbia?

Disputes with ICBC about benefits, vehicle damage and some personal injury damages go to the Civil Resolution Tribunal. Other claims go to court: the Civil Resolution Tribunal decides most small claims up to $5,000, the Provincial Court hears small claims up to $35,000, and larger claims go to the Supreme Court.

Why can't I send a personal injury enquiry through Lawvoo?

Lawvoo only lists firms for personal injury in Canada. Contact any firm directly through its own website — and check the lawyer in the provincial law society's directory first.
