Personal Injury in Surrey
Personal Injury Lawyers in Surrey
If you have been hurt in an accident in Surrey, the days right after are usually a blur of pain, appointments, and questions nobody prepared you for. You may be off work, waiting on ICBC, and unsure what you are actually owed. That uncertainty is normal, and you do not have to work through it on your own.
Surrey is a busy place to get around. With the kind of traffic that builds along King George Boulevard, the Fraser Highway, Highway 1, and the approaches to the Port Mann and Pattullo bridges, motor vehicle crashes are a big part of the injury claims we see. 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 at fault driver for a settlement. Instead you claim benefits through ICBC, and the early choices you make and the deadlines you meet really do matter.
Not every injury runs through ICBC. A fall on an icy walkway, an injury at a Surrey business or worksite, or certain serious crashes can follow different rules with their own rights and time limits. Our head office is right here in Surrey, so wherever and however you were hurt, 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 Surrey
Surrey crash claims
We guide drivers, passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians hurt on Surrey roads through their ICBC Enhanced Care claim, from the first filing onward.
Enhanced Care benefits
We help you access the medical, rehabilitation, and income replacement benefits you are entitled to, so your recovery is not held up by paperwork or delays.
Serious and catastrophic injuries
For severe or permanent injuries, we look at the higher levels of care, support, and permanent impairment compensation you may qualify for.
Slips, falls, and other accidents
When an injury happens outside the ICBC system, such as a fall on a property or an injury at work, we look at who is responsible and what you may be able to claim.
Disputes with ICBC
If a benefit is reduced, delayed, or denied, we help you challenge that decision, including through ICBC's review and the Civil Resolution Tribunal.
Protecting your deadlines
We track the time limits on your claim, including the strict two year limitation that can apply even to claims involving children.
Common questions
I was hurt in a crash in Surrey. Can I still 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 your accident and tell you honestly which rules apply to you.
What benefits can I actually claim after a Surrey accident?
Enhanced Care provides benefits to support your recovery rather than a lawsuit settlement. These can include medical and rehabilitation treatment, income replacement if you cannot work, care and caregiver support, and added benefits for serious or permanent injuries. We help you understand the full range you may be entitled to and make sure nothing gets missed.
Do I need to come into your Surrey office to get started?
You are welcome to visit our head office in Surrey, but you do not have to in order to get advice. Many people start with a free phone case evaluation, and we can take it from there. We serve clients across Surrey and nearby areas like Delta, Langley, and White Rock.
How long do I have to act after my injury?
Sooner is always better. Many claims carry a strict two year limitation period, and this can apply even to claims involving children, which often surprises parents. Some Enhanced Care benefits also have their own shorter deadlines for submitting expenses. If you are unsure, reach out now so we can protect your rights before any clock runs out.
