Injured in an automobile accident?
What should you do?
1. Seek medical treatment
If you are injured in an accident, the first thing you must do is see a physician. Your doctor will be the most important person on your road to recovery.

Your doctor may be asked to give his medical opinion with respect to your injuries At Thompson & Elliott we deal with some of the best physicians, physiotherapists, chiropractors and surgeons in the province.

2. Contact a reputable lawyer

I.C.B.C. said that I do not need a lawyer.
Should I still consider hiring one?
I.C.B.C. is an insurance corporation. The I.C.B.C. adjusters are not necessarily working in your favour. Be careful. Any information you provide to I.C.B.C. may be used against you in your claim. You should consult with a lawyer before providing any information in order to ensure that you receive the maximum settlement or award you are entitled to as the accident victim.
Will Thompson & Elliott take my case on contingency?
The Law Society of British Columbia allows lawyers in this Province to take personal injury cases on contingency.

Please contact one of our litigation lawyers to discuss a contingency fee arrangement.
