If you have suffered a personal injury, we offer you free advice with an experienced lawyer. This free advice is given in person, over the telephone, or by email. Whatever works best for your schedule, we are available to offer you complimentary guidance for your personal injury claim.

How a Personal Injury Lawyer can help you

The majority of personal injury cases involve motor vehicle accidents or slip and falls. In the majority of these claims, the person responsible for your injuries has insurance. As your personal injury lawyers, we use the legal system to pressure the insurance company to pay you compensation. We do this in a variety of ways, including commencing legal action (suing) the person or business responsible for your injuries.

Suing the person responsible for your injuries has a number of positive effects on your case. Firstly, it tells the responsible party (or their insurance company) that you are taking the claim seriously. Taking this legal action also pressures insurance companies to pay you fairly. When you sue someone for a personal injury claim, their insurance company is forced to immediately start paying legal costs. Most insurance companies would rather settle personal injury claims than pay high legal bills. In other words, by taking legal action, we force insurance companies to pay out a fair settlement for your injury claim.

Suing the person responsible for your injuries also ensures that important evidence is disclosed about your case. In many circumstances, the person responsible for your injuries may not wish to release information about your case. For example, in a motor vehicle accident, the insurance company may not want to disclose information about witnesses. Similarly, in a slip and fall accident, an insurance company may not want to disclose important evidence about how your injuries occurred. When this happens, we ask the BC Courts to order the insurance company to release all of the information they have about your case. In this way, we ensure that all-important evidence is brought to light to help you get a fair settlement.

Personal Injury Lawyers: Helping You Recover

As personal injury lawyers for over 12 years, we are dedicated to helping you recover. We have developed many connections in the medical community. This allows us to help you get the care you need.

If you need a family doctor for your personal injury, we can help you find one. We have a number of connections in the medical community. Usually, we can rely on these connections to make sure you are cared for by a compassionate family doctor. Similarly, if you need to see a medical specialist, we can arrange for you to be assessed at a private clinic. This allows you to avoid long waits in the public system and helps you get a faster diagnosis for your personal injuries.

If you need treatment for your injuries, we can ensure your treatment is properly funded. If you need physiotherapy, massage, or chiropractic, we can take steps to force the insurance company to pay for your treatment. We can also refer you to clinics that specialize in personal injury claims. These clinics will often agree to defer payment of your treatment until your case settles, meaning you will not have to pay for your treatment upfront.

Personal Injury Lawyers: Making sure you have the right evidence

If you suffer a personal injury, it is important that the right evidence is gathered in support of your case. Remember, just because you are injured does not mean you will be compensated. In BC, in order to get compensation for a personal injury, there must be evidence that the injury was caused by another party’s negligence.

As personal injury lawyers, we know what evidence is needed to prove someone else’s negligence. We go to the scene of your injury, where we interview witnesses and take photos. We also make sure that you have all of the important medical evidence that is needed to support your claim. For example, we make sure you see doctors who are specialized in treating the specific types of injuries that you have. We then obtain medical reports from these doctors to support your case and ensure you are paid fairly.

How much is my personal injury claim worth?

A common question asked of most personal injury lawyers is the following: how much money is my personal injury claim worth? The value of your personal injury claim depends upon a number of factors, including the severity of your injury, and your degree of disability. The medical evidence in your personal injury case is also an important factor in determining the value of your claim.

As your personal injury lawyers, we examine your case thoroughly in order to give you an opinion on the value of your claim. We do this by looking at case law, which are past legal cases of other personal injury victims similar to yours. We also closely examine all of the medical evidence in your case. After this examination is complete, we provide you with an approximate value of your claim. It is always our goal to obtain a settlement from the insurance company which is the fair legal value of your case. If the insurance company will not fairly compensate your personal injury claim, we proceed to go to Court to force the insurance company to pay you fairly.

ICBC/Car Accident Lawyers – Vancouver

One of the most common types of personal injury claims is car accidents/ICBC claims. These cases come in a variety of forms, including rear-end collisions, intersection accidents, pedestrian accidents, and motorcycle accidents.

We have over 12 years of experience in dealing with personal injury accident claims. During this time, we have convinced ICBC to pay out multi-millions of dollars in settlements. We have also successfully appeared in all of BC’s courts representing personal injury victims in car accident trials.

When you are involved in a car accident, it is important to have an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side. ICBC is in the insurance business, which means they are motivated to pay you as little as possible. ICBC makes money by paying lower amounts on claims. Without a lawyer, ICBC may try to convince you to settle your claim for an amount which, legally, is unfair.

As experienced personal injury lawyers, we can give you proper advice about what your case is worth. Our knowledge of personal injury law gives us insight into the correct legal value of your case. We use our knowledge and experience to ensure that you are not taken advantage of by ICBC or any other insurance company.

Vancouver, BC – Personal Injury Law – Slip & Fall Claims

Over the past 12 years, we have represented hundreds of BC residents in slip and fall accidents. These types of accidents can occur anywhere, including businesses, a public place or in a private home. Regardless of where the slip and fall happens, all property owners must obey the law. In BC, the law says that all property owners must take reasonable steps to ensure that anyone using the property will be safe from harm.

If you suffer a personal injury on someone else’s property, we can examine the evidence to see if the property owner obeyed the law. We often go to the scene where you were injured and look for evidence of negligence. We take photos and we interview witnesses to your injury. If the property owner did not take proper precautions, and you were injured as a result, we can ensure that you are compensated for your injuries.

If you have a BC motor vehicle accident/ICBC claim, we can help you obtain fair compensation. Over the past 12 years, our downtown Vancouver law firm has represented thousands of car accident victims. During that time, we have obtained millions of dollars in settlements. We have also regularly fought for the rights of injury claimants in BC’s Courts.

The importance of early legal advice

If you are involved in an auto accident in BC, it is important to talk to an ICBC claims lawyer as soon as possible. When you first call ICBC to report your claim, the insurance company begins to gather evidence about your case. When you talk to ICBC, the person on the other end of the phone will be taking notes. Remember, anything that ICBC is writing down about you may not be in your best interests. Providing information to ICBC without getting advice from an ICBC claims lawyer can have devastating consequences for your injury claim. We can provide you with free advice that will help protect your rights in the long term. As experienced ICBC claims lawyers, we can walk you through the process from start to finish.

Treatment – An ICBC injury lawyer can help

If you are injured in an auto accident, it is very important that you get proper medical treatment. Having worked against ICBC for 12 years, we have developed connections with medical professionals such as doctors, specialists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists. We can ensure that you are treated by the appropriate people in our network. As ICBC injury lawyers, getting you financial compensation is a priority, but we also want to help you recover from your injuries.

What is my ICBC claim worth?

As ICBC claims lawyers, the most common question we face is the following: “What is my ICBC claim worth”?  The value of your claim usually depends upon two factors: 1) The seriousness of your injuries, and 2) How long your injuries last. It is very difficult for us to tell you how much your claim is worth within a couple of weeks of the accident (any ICBC claims lawyer who tells you otherwise should not be doing so).

As your ICBC claims lawyers, it is our job to make sure ICBC recognizes the full value of your claim. We do this by gathering evidence on your behalf, which supports your ICBC injury claim. We then present this evidence to ICBC to ensure they understand the full extent of your injuries. This evidence convinces ICBC to pay you a fair award.

ICBC pain and suffering awards

The most common type of money paid for car accidents is an ICBC pain and suffering award. The term “pain and suffering” relates to how your injuries have affected you on a personal level. The amount of an ICBC pain and suffering award depends on what type of evidence is presented to ICBC in support of your case.

We make sure that ICBC knows all of the ways you have suffered as a result of your injuries. We do this by obtaining important evidence on your behalf, including statements from your friends and family members. We also order reports from doctors and specialists, which outline all of the ways your life has been affected by the car accident. By giving ICBC all of this important evidence, we ensure that your pain and suffering are fairly compensated.

ICBC Case Law: Determining the Value of your claim

The value of your claim is determined by ICBC case law. These are past cases of other car accident victims that have been provided by the courts in BC. With over 12 years in the business, we have an in-depth knowledge of ICBC case law.

When determining the value of your claim, we compare your circumstances with others who have had similar injuries and experiences. By doing this, we ensure that the value of your claim is fair and in accordance with the established law. When we are trying to settle your case, we rely on this ICBC case law and use it to argue for a fair settlement on your behalf. If ICBC refuses to pay you fairly, we use our knowledge of this case law to convince a BC Court to pay you a fair award.

Experience Counts

We have 12 years of experience as ICBC injury lawyers. In this time, we have settled hundreds of claims. We have appeared in Court on behalf of our clients over 100 times.

Disability Insurance Claim Lawyers – Vancouver

Has an insurance company denied your claim for disability benefits? Are you unable to work? At Bungay Law, we have over 15 years of experience helping disabled people access their insurance benefits.

Insurance companies are a business.  They do not make money by paying out a long-term disability claim. This means that, more often than not, the insurance company will deny your LTD claim instead of paying you the money you deserve. They want to keep making money by denying your right to get money. 

If you have disability insurance, this usually means you have paid monthly premiums for a long time. You paid this money to make sure that, if you could not work, you would be covered. In other words, you made a deal with the insurance company: “I pay you monthly premiums, you cover me if I am disabled”. If your insurance company has broken this deal, Bungay Law is here to help you.

Our experienced legal team can take the insurance company to task for treating you poorly. We demand that your insurance company treats you fairly. We use our legal experience to hold insurers accountable, and to make sure your losses are covered at the end of your case.

We offer free consultations for anyone with a disability insurance claim.  This means you can speak to one of our legal professionals at no charge.  Our lawyer can advise you, free of charge, whether or not you may have a valid claim. If you choose to hire us, there are no up-front fees. We only get paid for any legal work if you win. In other words, we take on your disability case, and we do not charge you for any work until you get paid by the insurance company. If your case is not successful, we do not charge you any legal fee.
