Personal Injury in Richmond
Personal Injury Lawyers in Richmond
If you have been hurt in Richmond, you are probably dealing with more than just the injury. Maybe it was a collision on No. 3 Road or Steveston Highway, a crash near the bridges and tunnel that link the island to Vancouver and the airport, or a fall on a wet floor at a mall or restaurant. You may be in pain, off work, and unsure what to do first. That uncertainty is normal, and you do not have to work through it alone.
Since May 1, 2021, most crashes in British Columbia fall under ICBC's Enhanced Care, a no fault system. In most cases that means you cannot sue the other driver for a settlement. Instead you claim benefits through ICBC for treatment, income loss, and care while you recover. The steps you take early on, and the deadlines you meet, really do matter. We help you understand what you are entitled to and make sure nothing important slips through.
Not every injury runs through ICBC. A slip or fall on someone else's property, an injury at work, or a dog bite can follow different rules with their own rights and deadlines. Richmond is a community where many people speak a first language other than English, and insurance forms and medical paperwork can feel even harder to navigate because of it. Whatever your situation, the first step is the same. Tell us what happened, and we will give you a clear, honest read on where you stand.
How we help in Richmond
Crashes on Richmond roads and the bridges
We guide drivers, passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians hurt on routes like No. 3 Road, Steveston Highway, or the crossings to Vancouver and the airport through their ICBC Enhanced Care claim from the first filing.
Enhanced Care benefits
We help you access the medical treatment, rehabilitation, and income replacement benefits ICBC owes you, so your recovery is not held up by paperwork or delays.
Serious and catastrophic injuries
For severe or lasting injuries, such as a brain injury, spinal injury, or permanent impairment, we pursue the higher levels of care and support you may qualify for under Enhanced Care.
Slips, falls, and other accidents
When an injury happens outside the ICBC system, on a property, at a business, or from a dog bite, we look at who is responsible and what you may be able to claim.
Denied, delayed, or reduced benefits
If ICBC cuts off your treatment or turns down a benefit you need, we explain your options and push back so you are not left covering the cost of your own recovery.
Help in plain language
We take the time to explain each step clearly, answer your questions, and keep you informed, so the process feels less overwhelming from start to finish.
Common questions
I was hurt in a crash near the tunnel in Richmond. Can I sue the other driver?
For most crashes on or after May 1, 2021, no. British Columbia moved to a no fault system, so instead of suing you claim benefits through ICBC's Enhanced Care. There are narrow exceptions, such as when the at fault driver is convicted of a serious offence like impaired driving. We can look at how your crash happened and tell you exactly which rules apply to you.
What can I actually claim after an accident in Richmond?
Enhanced Care is built around supporting your recovery rather than a lawsuit settlement. Benefits can include medical and rehabilitation treatment, income replacement if you cannot work, care and caregiver support, and added benefits for serious or permanent injuries. If your injury happened from a fall or on someone else's property, different rules may apply. We help you understand the full range you may be entitled to.
Do you have an office in Richmond?
Yes. We have a meeting office in Richmond and also serve nearby Vancouver, Delta, and the airport area. Your first case evaluation is free, and you can reach us by phone or arrange to meet locally. We will explain where you stand before you commit to anything.
