Car Accident Injury Lawyer
 
Hi all,

My fiancee was t-boned at an intersection early this morning. Long story short,
the other driver was at fault, my fiancee is banged up pretty bad. I want to find a good lawyer that will help her get everything she deserves and that ICBC wont screw her around.

Thanks.

Stayaway from those injury lawyers that advertise on tv,they are not that good,if they were as good as they say they are,they would not need to advertise with commercials.

I had a great experience with Joel D Zanatta.

Sat in for a free consultation, he took my case, I went on with my life for the next month.

Called me and told me a month later whether I wanted to take the settlement that was a five fold increase of what ICBC was originally offering.

Said yes, went to the his office, signed my papers and got my cheque, walked out the door happily.

33% contingency but it was worth it since I still walked away with more than 3x the original offer ICBC had.

If you dont mind me asking, what was the circumstances of your accident?

fliptuner 10-28-2010 12:17 AM

Hope she makes a full recovery man.

Was she hit on the driver's or passenger side?

PMCR 10-28-2010 12:24 AM

Hey question, do you guys go see a lawyer AFTER they give you an offer or before?

please don't talk about your case in detail online. It might not benefit you in court.

1BADMR2 10-28-2010 06:27 AM

Get a trial lawyer.

Jassanova 10-28-2010 06:43 AM

(disclaimer: not legal advice) If you want to know what you should be looking for in a PI lawyer, PM me. You don't need to rush in to retaining a lawyer if the accident just happened.

Doesn't matter, as long as you retain one. The offer will change anyways once you get a lawyer.

With that said, if ICBC offers you a settlement you're happy with, no point getting a lawyer though.

Hope your fiancee recovers fully and quickly.

I was represented by a lawyer at Hammerberg Altman Beaton & Maglio

yeah...hmm last question if its just soft tissue injury can you get more than 5 grand with a lawyer? because what I heared from them in my last car accident is soft tissue is maximum 5 g's.. does someone know the answer to this?

Tegra_Devil 10-28-2010 05:07 PM

Thanks for all the kind words everyone.

We have opted for a lawyer with Hammerberg
