Hit and run accidents happen all the time in BC. Being in a hit and run accident can be difficult, painful, and frustrating. Maybe you don’t know where to start because you don’t have the other driver’s information.
Similarly to a car accident where the other driver stays at the scene, a hit and run accident is also an ICBC settlement claim.
If you’ve been injured in an accident where the other driver took off from the scene, you still have an ICBC settlement claim. If ICBC tells you differently, don’t think then, that you have no case. Talk to an ICBC car accident lawyer at Dykstra & Company to discuss your hit and run accident. We offer free initial consultations for hit and run accidents – call us toll free at 1.877.753.4793.
The fact is you can’t control what another driver does in an accident. Perhaps their in a stolen vehicle, are impaired, or simply don’t want to be implicated in an accident they cause. Their leaving the scene is not your fault, which means you if you’re hurt you have a claim.
The law in BC requires that ICBC be given notice about the fact your accident was a hit and run. Also, building your hit and run car accident claim means collecting all relevant information about your case and building your medical case. The extent and scope of your case often depends on the nature of your injuries.
Every car accident case has its own circumstances and every injured person’s ICBC settlement claim is unique. Hit and run accidents are no exception.
