If your car crash happened while you were working, you may potentially get benefits from ICBC or WCB. Even if ICBC says you must go to WCB, this may not be the case, depending on the circumstances of your accident. Speaking with a lawyer can help you determine what rights you have to compensation.
Preserving Your Choice: WCB or ICBC?
The benefits you get through WCB are not the same as the benefits you get under your contract with ICBC. In general, ICBC benefits are much broader, including access to compensation for pain and suffering. Before you start a claim for benefits at either organization, speaking with a Vancouver WCB claims lawyer is a good way to help you decide the course to take.
Getting Accident Injury Victims Maximum Compensation
At Collins & Cullen, our entire practice is devoted to ICBC injury claims. Although ICBC may treat you with courtesy, the fact is ICBC is not mandated to help injured people. You have the right to a lawyer, and at our firm, a senior partner will work on your behalf to get you the most you are entitled to.
We know people are concerned about giving a lawyer money up front. Our fees are based on a percentage of the compensation we get for you, and our expenses are deferred until you receive compensation.
