Best Business Attorneys in Kamloops, BC

The value of your claim is similarly dependent on many things: (i) whether or not you are partially responsible for the injury (ii) the nature and extent of your injuries (iii) the amount of treatment required for those injuries (iv) the amount of income you have lost due to your injuries in the past and how any disability you will continue to suffer will affect your income in the future. When your recovery is complete (or has reached its maximum level) your lawyer will be able to give you an opinion as to the range of damages that would be fair compensation for your claim.

Well in excess of 90 per cent of personal injury cases in which a law suit is commenced, are resolved by settlement. Each case however should be prepared as if trial is likely so that the maximum settlement amount can be obtained.

The insurance company who will be defending your claim is within its rights to investigate the claim you are putting forward. This often entails the right to have you assessed by a doctor of their choice, speaking with witnesses who might have relevant evidence about your claim, investigating your Internet presence (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and in some cases conducting video surveillance. As such, we recommend to our clients to only speak about their accident related issues to their health care providers, employers (as necessary) and their lawyer. Also remember, even with privacy settings on your internet accounts, what is put out on the internet may be found and used in your lawsuit.
