What to do after being involved in a major accident?
Here is the story. Earlier around 6:30pm, my friend was driving my car in Delta heading southbound on 62b st/River Road towards the highway. We were behind an SUV when an oncoming car suddenly swervs towards our lane, side swipes the SUV and immediately after directly hits my car, mainly the driver's side. Airbags were deployed and car is obviously a write off.
I had to see a doctor earlier but I told him I was fine since I didnt feel much right after the accident. Main injuries were that my friend had to receive several stitches in his head. Other than that, our bodies are just really sore now.
Talking to a lawyer is our first step or ICBC. Any recommended lawyers or firms? I'm not really experienced in this kind of situation so if anyone has been through a similar experience, any help or info will do! Thanks in advance.
christ, I'm glad you and your friend are ok. get a lawyer, any lawyer with ICBC injury experience should do. I also suggest going through physiotherapy if your doctor suggests it. doesn't matter if you don't feel that bad or hurt right now, these injuries will definitely come back to bother you in the future. it will also add to your injury claim case if you do pursue it.
I also suggest getting a gym pass if you don't have one already. working out is a great way to strengthen yourself and ensure a more permanent recovery.

consult a doctor and physiotherapist first. you don't want to incur permanent damage if you have unknown injuries at this point that goes past just soft tissue damage and stitches.

Thanks guys for the input. I will be heading back to hospital to give the doctor an update to how I'm feeling at the moment as my body is feeling the effects now. Then we'll be looking into lawyers. I'll check out the links you guys sent me.
No idea why the other drive swerved onto our lane. Drunk? Phone use? No idea.
Damn thats crazy. Glad to here everyone is okay for the most part.
Spoiler!
Last time I checked, physical injuries that involved overnight stays in the hospital, not being able to walk properly, not having full function in one arm, and constant back pain, aren't "made up" injuries.

Fuck dude. That was close to being REALLY bad. Glad you are both walking away from this one. I'd head back to the doctor first to discuss possible issues from the accident before you speak with a lawyer. It will save you billable time with the lawyers.

get a lawyer and go for physio if needed, my friends went here KazLaw - Vancouver Injury Lawyers after their major accident and contact Marc Kazimirski. This is what they recommended if I ever got in an accident because they got a good settlement
