Personal Injury Claims
ATTENTION BC RESIDENTS
IF YOU HAVE BEEN IN A MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION OR HAVE A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM IN BC, HERE ARE FOUR IMPORTANT THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW:
BEWARE OF EARLY SETTLEMENT
Insurance companies often offer you a quick settlement after a serious injury which may be less than what you are actually entitled to receive. If you accept the settlement, you will forever lose your right to receive more money even if you may be entitled to more.
BEWARE OF PERSONAL STATEMENTS
Immediately following a serious injury, insurance companies often try to get a personal or signed statement from you about your case. Without a personal injury lawyer advising you, you could unknowingly say something which could hurt your case.
BEWARE OF THE EVIDENCE
The actions taken immediately after a serious injury are extremely important. Whether related to medical care or the circumstances of the collision, details need to be properly documented and witnesses need to be immediately interviewed. Failure to properly do so may severely compromise the amount of money you receive and the future rights you may have.
