What should an injured pedestrian do if the driver’s ICBC adjuster offers a settlement?
The most important advice we can give you is: Do not consider settling your claim until your injuries have resolved and until you have consulted with a lawyer. Many injured people are unsure what settlement amount should be offered, and are very tempted to take what’s offered, just to get some money right away. Stephens & Holman strongly urge you to consider whether the amount offered will be enough to pay your family back for everything they’ve gone through. Will it erase the financial burden forced upon your family and take care of present and future treatment and expenses? Do not accept a settlement if you are unsure exactly what your entitlements might be. Let our B.C. accident lawyers help you maximize your claim. Remember that signing something could mean you’re waiving all rights.
