ICBC Tip of the Month (February 2014): Trial Lawyer

PERMINDER S. TUNG:  EXPERIENCED ICBC TRIAL LAWYER

ICBC Tip-of-the-Month (February 2014): when thinking of hiring a lawyer or consulting with various lawyers about your claim, make sure you research the lawyer and ask whether he or she has run successful trials against ICBC. 

Why?  There are a lot of reasons, some of which are the following:

1) ICBC fears lawyers with trial experience because they are good at securing high awards for damages;

2) ICBC tracks lawyers and assesses the defence of your claim based on the lawyer's reputation and trial experience;  

3) Only a true trial lawyer can assess the value of your claim because they know with reasonable estimation what a judge would do with your case;

4) The opposite of a true ICBC trial lawyer is a "settler", or someone with the reputation for settling too early for too little money; and

5) A trial lawyer really enjoy his job and the challenge of presenting evidence in front of a judge or jury.
