Customer: If you are the registered owner of a vehicle & the insurance is also in your name & the driver of your vehicle causes an accident & a civil suit is against you for personal injury does ICBC assign you a lawyer?
JA: What province are you in? It matters because laws vary by location.
Customer: British Columbia
JA: What steps have you taken so far?
Customer: NONE...this inquiry is regarding my son who is on a disabity & has never been able to drive due to sever epilepsy so it is his wife who is the driver. In speaking with my son it appears she is evading the whole issue. My son definitely has some cognitive issues due to a life time of head trauma so his wife handles everything. She is not forth coming with information & the one question I keep asking is was their ICBC insurance valid at the time of the accident & I do not get an answer from her & my son does not know. I ask this question because I don't understand why they have not contacted ICBC right away!
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: She has been unemployed for the past two years & my son gets disability for income. They were recently evicted from there rental in Chilliwack & are now living in an unit in Kent, BC paid by her mother & I have recently contributed as well. Her mother gave them numbers to call for legal aid & I just spoke with my son & his interpretation was the government only helps with immigration issues etc. Good grief this direction is way off base & that is why I have contacted you.
