Compensation in a Personal Injury Claim

If you have been injured in an accident, you may be entitled to compensation for the following:

• Pain and suffering
• Past and future wage loss
• Future loss of earning capacity
• Past and future care costs
• Reimbursement of your out of pocket expenses

The amount of compensation you receive varies according to factors including:

• who caused the accident
• the severity of your injury
• disability or functional impairment caused by the injury
• your diagnosis and prognosis
• the medical treatment you receive
• expenses you incur treating your injuries
• any expenses you may incur in the future

Our team of personal injury lawyers at DNC Integra will carefully assess your claim and retain medical and other experts to evaluate your injury and its impact on your past, present and future functionality. A thorough medical assessment is crucial to advance a claim for the compensation to which you are entitled.

We work on a contingency fee basis which means that we do not get paid until you have received compensation from the insurance company.  Our fees are a percentage of the compensation you receive.

Common Questions

Do I need to hire a lawyer?
Hire one of DNC Integra’s experienced lawyers and you will not have to deal with ICBC appointed adjusters trying to persuade you to settle a claim while you are still seeking medical treatment and healing from your injuries. We will negotiate on your behalf and keep you fully informed about the progress of your case.

How long will it take to resolve my claim?
Your DNC Integra team will ensure that your matter has been reported to ICBC in a timely manner and that all necessary paperwork is completed correctly and on time.  We work with you to gather medical, employment and other relevant data, presenting a full package to ICBC to ensure you receive fair compensation. Should your medical diagnosis still be unclear two years after the accident, we will file a lawsuit to protect your legal rights. And should you not receive a fair offer from ICBC, we will ensure your matter is heard before a Judge as soon as possible.
