Pedestrian Accident Lawyer attorney,Abbotsford,Surrey
Pedestrian accident liability
Often a complicating matter of a pedestrian accident is liability. Unless you are in a clearly marked crosswalk, ICBC may claim that you are at fault partially or fully. Even if you were in a crosswalk, the driver who hit you may believe and say you weren’t in a crosswalk.
In order to be compensated fully under the law for your personal injury claim from a pedestrian accident, you need to persuade ICBC or the courts that you weren’t entirely at-fault, and prove your injuries, harms, and losses.
At Dykstra & Company you can talk to an ICBC lawyer about your pedestrian accident for a free consultation. We welcome you to tell us what happened and we’ll tell you if you have a case.
Don’t just take ICBC’s word that you’re at-fault
That’s right, if ICBC told you that you’re at-fault, don’t think that you don’t have a personal injury claim. Fault is not an all-or-nothing assessment. Even you’re 40 percent at-fault, you’re entitled to compensation for your harms and losses.
Your case is built on facts. You need to learn, collect, and review all the available facts about what happened. Frequently, a person hurt in a pedestrian accident doesn’t remember the entire event. That’s natural, but it means learning about what happened requires getting the information.

If you’ve been hurt in a pedestrian accident, we welcome you to schedule your free consultation with us today by calling us at 1.877.753.4793. Talk to an ICBC lawyer about your case.

Medical treatment and building your pedestrian accident case
Almost every personal injury claim involves medical treatment. The problem is that it’s tough paying for medical treatment. Yes, injured pedestrians almost always have a claim against ICBC, but that doesn’t mean ICBC will always pay for the medical help you need when you need it.
That’s where we can help. If we take on your case and you need medical help, in some cases we can help you if ICBC doesn’t..
