WHY CHANGE YOUR ICBC INJURY LAWYER:

1. The lawyer is not responsive to their client’s phone calls and/or emails.

2. The lawyer takes too long to conclude an injured victim’s file whether settlement or trial.

3. The lawyer is not willing to go to Trial and/or is inexperienced in it.

4. The lawyer undervalues an injured victim’s claim (e.g. asking the client to settle for much less than deserved).
