If you are
involved in a motor vehicle accident in British Columbia
and are a resident it is always in your best interest to
first connect with a lawyer experienced with dealing
with ICBC and private insurance companies. Your
accident may involve an auto, motorcycle, bicycle,
bus or even an animal. You could be the driver,
passenger or pedestrian and the other party may even
be a friend or relative.
Protect Yourself
Whether
you are a local resident or from other parts
of B.C. it is sound advice to obtain the services of
a lawyer who is very familiar with the laws and the
local “lay of the land” in B.C. Earl Zimmer is just
that lawyer. Together with his experienced staff and
alliances, Earl Zimmer will ensure that your rights are
protected at all times.

If, while
on a visit to British Columbia, you as a non-resident
have the misfortune of being injured in any form of
motor vehicle accident which may involve an auto,
motorcycle, bicycle, bus or even an animal, then by
law the injury claim needs to be adjudicated
under the laws and legal procedures of this
province. You could have been the driver,
passenger or pedestrian and the other party may even
be an associate, friend or relative.
Sooner or Later
Should you
wish to go back home and deal with your injury claim
within familiar confines, local lawyers will advise you
of the necessity of obtaining a British Columbia
licensed lawyer.
Your
first move while you are still here should be
to connect with Earl Zimmer while the details are still
fresh, evidence is in order and witnesses are
available. Timing for out of province residents is even
more critical!
Let us
comfortably close the gap between your home and here.
We are used to dealing with lawyers from other areas
while protecting your rights and ensuring fair
compensation for all aspects of your injury claim.

Sometimes
it may be the passenger who is injured in a car
accident. It may only involve just the one vehicle
or another vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or bus.
It could even be that the driver of the primary vehicle
you are riding in is responsible for the accident. The
passenger can still make a claim. (Even if the driver
is a relative or a friend. See our section about A
Relative or a Friend.) The laws and procedures do
allow for injury claims under these circumstances but
please beware, complications could arise simply through
human nature and the desire to protect the person at
fault. If the fault lies with someone close to you, it
is best you first come in together for a private and
confidential consultation. Should the fault lie with
someone else, you might first come in alone. Although
at times the situation could be delicate, we will
protect all your rights.

Ever wonder how you can sue someone close such as a husband, a
wife or a friend and still love them? For us it’s all
about trust and care.
A claim
can be made in British Columbia for injuries in a car
accident when the person responsible is a relative or
friend. Complications could arise simply through human
nature and the desire to protect the person at fault.
For everyone’s sake it is best that you first bring the
person responsible in with you for a private and
confidential consultation.
Protect
your rights while protecting your relationships.
