Providing valuable legal representation to individuals injured in motorcycle ACCIDENTS in the Vancouver area
The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) indicates that there were approximately 2,100 motorcycle accidents in British Columbia in 2013. These accidents can leave victims with extremely serious injuries, as motorcyclists are not protected in any way by the body of the vehicle they are operating. Motorcyclists can easily be thrown from their bikes, often resulting in secondary injury when they come into contact with the ground or other vehicles. In many cases, people injured in motorcycle accidents develop serious medical complications that may affect them for years or even decades after an accident occurred.
In many instances, people who are hurt in motorcycle accidents that occur in BC are legally entitled to financial compensation for both their economic and non-economic losses. In most cases, victims of motorcycle accidents who retain a lawyer obtain significantly more compensation than those who choose to represent themselves, so it is very important for victims to retain legal counsel as soon as possible.
Motorcycle accidents can leave victims with extremely serious injuries
