I practice ICBC law (both for injured parties and more recently for ICBC), and I definitely would recommend consulting a lawyer after getting into a car accident and you are hurt. If you think about it -- ICBC is, in the end, a business. They are not in the business of handing out large insurance payouts. So you will need someone to fight on your side, and that is a lawyer that specializes in these sorts of claims. From my time in practice, I have an idea of who is good and who is not, but either way, even a crappy lawyer will be able to get you more than you would on your own, even after you pay him/her a percentage cut.
