Helpforme fights for everything you deserve.
Car Accident ICBC Claims
from minor to severe car accidents, you can count on powerful Helpforme advocates for your case.
There’s no minor injury in a car accident. It’s a shock to the whole system. What’s more, your car injury can have an effect on your time, your work and on the lives of your loved ones. Ultimately, the goal is to get you the very best outcome when your claim concludes. However, the first concern is helping you recover.
We focus on you with the same care we give your case.
Getting to know you is as critical as collecting the facts of your case. We want to get to know you, because the more we know you, the better we understand how your accident has affected you. It also helps us put together your claim as well as determine what the long-term effects are likely to be. This makes the entire process more meaningful because it becomes personal for all of us.
It means looking at all the facts of your case, from your injuries and the environment where the accident happened, to its ramifications on both your day to day and future activities.
The types of car accidents we've helped.
Distracted Driving
When you get hit because a driver is busy texting rather than paying attention to the road, we can help get you the compensation you deserve.
Left-Hand Turns
If you get injured because you tried to make a left turn just as another driver sped up to beat the light, we can build a case to establish you were not at fault.
Single Car Accidents
Everything from road conditions to car defects can cause you to crash. We’ll help identify the cause, prove liability and get you compensated for your injuries and other losses.
Vehicle Roll Over
When a car tips over onto its side or roof, it can cause devastating injuries. We can help build your case for maximum compensation.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents can be complex, both medically and with respect to fault. We build a strong case to get you the best possible outcome.
The impact on your life matters as much as the physical impact of the accident.
Getting the full picture requires diligently recording obvious injuries like broken bones and testing for easily missed ones like concussions and PTSD, as well as looking out for signs of injuries that can show up later or develop into degenerative issues.
It can also mean assessing your needs for child and home care, or home adaptations like wheelchair ramps and roll-in showers. We can arrange to have these needs accommodated and paid for until your claim is settled.
when details of the accident fail you, our investigative skills won’t.
Sudden trauma can make your mind go blank. In fact, it’s common to have trouble piecing together key details. We might need to delve deep to find fault in certain accidents like those involving left-hand turns, hit and run, single cars, and distracted driving.
That’s when you need a strong investigative team to find black boxes, cameras, and witnesses to support your claim, as well as experienced accident reconstruction engineers who analyze everything from road conditions to seat belt placement.
Reputable experts ensure credibility.
Experts with solid reputations and experience know where to look for all the facts, get the complete story (not just part of it) and objectively prepare your case so that it can’t be discredited. All these facts are brought together then leveraged with remarkable negotiating skills to maximize your claim.
Time stops in a car accident, but the effects can last a lifetime. In those cases, compensation should too.
Safe driving tips
Failing to yield the right of way is one of the leading causes of crashes in BC.
YIELD TO TRAFFIC
Intersections are the worst spots for failure-to-yield crashes. Be hyper-vigilant, especially when making left turns. Look everywhere and check over your shoulder.
DON’T BE DISTRACTED
Keep your attention solely on driving. Don’t use your phone. Don’t eat or drink. In short, don’t multitask.
DON'T SPEED
Everything from road conditions to car defects can cause you to crash. We’ll help identify the cause, prove liability and get you compensated for your injuries and other losses.
BE DEFENSIVE
Be sure to watch how other drivers around you are behaving. Keep an eye out for and avoid people driving recklessly. Always keep yourself at a safe, appropriate distance from other cars, in case you need to stop or swerve quickly.
Keep what you need handy
Keep garage passes and toll fees where you can easily reach them.
LOAD THE CAR CAREFULLY
Secure groceries, luggage and other items that might move around while you’re driving. If an item drops on the floor, pull over before picking it up; don’t try to do it while driving.
NEVER DRIVE UNDER THE INFLUENCE
Even one drink can impair your judgement and reaction time. Also, keep in that some medications can cause drowsiness.
