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.

Personally, I would get a lawyer simply to make ICBC pay more, even if it meant I end up getting the same after lawyer fees.
