Reminder: The BC Ombudsperson can now handle complaints if you believe the ICBC new rate structure is treating you unfairly.

The new ICBC rate structure is now in effect, and "75 per cent of drivers who only get basic coverage will see an increase". Not quite the reward for a good driving history that people were expecting.

A lot of injured people seem to think that ICBC represents them after an accident. This is not true. ICBC represent the defendant. Giving a statement and authorizations to ICBC instead of through a personal injury lawyer gives ICBC the opportunity to get information they may not be entitled to under the law and use it against you. This is why personal injury lawyers always say to call them first. If involved in an accident, you should have your own personal injury lawyer. Contact us for a free consultation.

If your insurance renews after Sept 1, your notice won't be telling you what the new premium is because ICBC hasn't decided that yet. Does that sound fair?

Looks like ridesharing like Lyft and Uber are coming this fall, along with special licence and insurance requirements.

Possible ICBC changes late this year or next could include online renewals. Is that something you'd like to see happen?

Everyone know traffic accidents can be deadly. Did you know that 1/3 of deaths in the last 10 years involved drugs or alcohol? And nearly 1/3 of deaths were people not wearing seat belts?

In an accident? There is a single, golden rule to remember at the scene of the accident: do not admit fault. Do document everything.... Need more information? Click on to our website. Need representation? Call our office.

We are your local legal professionals, call us if you are in a motor vehicle accident.

Looking forward to Uber or Lyft coming to BC? It looks like it's not going to be easy for them to get going if drivers need a class 4 licence.

Driving with a dead phone could result in distracted driving charges if you're wearing 2 earbuds, among other reasons. Are you fully aware of all the reasons you could be charged?

Have you seen the new voluntary telematics pilot for new drivers? ICBC will install a device in your vehicle to track your driving behaviour. Does this sound like a good idea?

In case you had any doubts about car insurance rates, a study has shown BC has higher rates than Alberta.

A new Supreme Court ruling could mean your distracted driving ticket could be appealed because just having your cell phone visible in your car no longer counts as distracted driving.

All this sunshine is great to see, but make sure you're staying safe while driving in it. 1. Keep your windshield clean. 2. Wear polarized sunglasses. 3. Use your visors but don't block your view of the road.... 4. Use your headlights even on bright days it helps other drivers see you. See more

Do you watch, or at least review, government throne speeches? The B.C. throne speech was earlier this month, and ICBC was a topic mentioned. With a huge projected loss, the province is "looking towards other jurisdictions for changes". Do you have opinions on what can be done?

A recent ICBC court case highlighted how ICBC acts unfairly in some situations, and shows why it is important to fight for fair settlement amounts.

Know someone who deserves to be recognized as a local hero? Nominate them before March 8.

More changes in the way ICBC handles injury settlements, and it's not positive. This is a last-minute change that is not fair and could have a negative impact on consumers.

It's another very foggy day out there. Take care on the roads.

We love our new sign Grant Illuminated Signs Ltd. Thanks so much for your craftsmanship and professional installation.

Merry Christmas from the CR lawyers family to you and your family. Have a safe and fun holiday.

Whether you are a driver or a pedestrian, use extra caution while out in dark and stormy conditions.

New impaired driving laws are in effect. Changes include allowing police officers to demand breathalyzer tests from any driver they pull over. Any driver who refuses to take the test can be charged.

We've mentioned before that ICBC has changes coming this spring, and it looks like it will include a rate increase.

If you're injured in a car accident, you may think ICBC represents you. This is not true. ICBC represents the defendants. This is why you need your own lawyer. Giving a statement and authorizations to ICBC instead of through a personal injury lawyer gives ICBC the opportunity to get information they may not be entitled to under the law and use it against you. We are happy to meet with you and discuss your case in a free initial consultation.
