Slippery roads, poor visibility, and other winter driving conditions can make the roads an unsafe place to be. And inevitably, accidents happen. ICBC claim adjusters are experienced, sophisticated negotiators. The adjusters know the value of injury claims and unfortunately, their job is to resolve your claim for a fair amount from ICBC’s point of view and not yours. This is the moment when you have to be clear concerning your rights and consult with a seasoned Penticton personal injury lawer, like Hillside Law Inc. that has dealt with ICBC. Even if you're unsure whether you need a lawyer in Penticton regarding an ICBC claim, please call us and ask. We’d be more than willing to provide you with our recommendations.

Coping with the loss of a loved one can be one of the most trying times of your life. When your family member’s death was caused by another party’s negligence or wrongdoing, the grieving process only intensifies more. In these instances, you may have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit and receive the closure and financial compensation to which you and your family are entitled. While money can’t replace the loss of a family member, once your bills begin accumulating, a settlement can help you feel financially secure and help bring closure and a peace of mind. If you are looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable Penticton lawyer that is equipped to handle wrongful death matters, contact us.

A question that we have been hearing a lot recently is if you can deny parenting time if your ex-partner has been exposed to COVID-19. Generally speaking, court orders need to be followed, but children's safety is the most important factor. If there is an immediate danger a change to the order by consent or otherwise could be necessary.

A little humour to celebrate St. Patrick's Day amidst the craziness What do you call an Irish person who's outside all day?

Interesting insight from a doctor on the recent ICBC changes.

By now, you've likely heard the NDP's about-face on what it describes as the wonderful new world of ICBC no-fault insurance. Here's David Brooke, founding lawyer of Hillside Law Inc's, thoughts on how this is impacting those injured in a motor vehicle accident now and moving forward. https://ecs.page.link/Jkrcv

Frank is 1 today!!

I am writing this to advise of significant changes to the landscape proposed by the NDP government and our Attorney General (and Minister Responsible for ICBC) David Eby. The Supreme Court Civil Rules in their current form, provide that an injured party who is successful in their litigation (either by settlement) or by achieving a trial judgment, is entitled to their reasonably and necessarily incurred disbursements. Disbursements are the amount outlaid by us on your behalf ...Continue reading
