Injury Settlement Lawyer

One of the most frequent questions I’m asked as a BC Personal Injury Lawyer is how much is my claim worth?.

This is an important question for anyone injured through the fault of another in British Columbia. When negotiating with ICBC (or another Insurance company) the playing field is typically imbalanced in that the Claims Adjuster has lots of experience in valuing personal injury claims. Unless you are an injury claims lawyer you understandably would have little experience in valuing these claims and may need help valuing your losses.

It is important to empower yourself for the negotiation because in tort claims the insurer is negotiating on behalf of the person that injured you. With this in mind, here is a brief video introduction discussing some of the common ‘heads of damages’ that are frequently addressed in BC personal injury lawsuits. I hope this information is of some assistance in balancing the information playing field.

This 2nd week of March, 2010, the Zionist state of Israel has had a difficult week. This is a listing of the events that reflect that week.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/12/AR2010031202615_pf.html

Saudi Arabia has dismissed US claims that Riyadh would use its leverage to pressure China to approve new sanctions against Iran.

According to the Saudi official news agency, SPA, an official in Riadh rejected a claim by US Defense Secretary Robert Gates on the issue of pressuring China to support fresh sanctions against Iran, IRNA reported on Friday.

The report indicates that the two sides did not even discuss the matter during Gates’ visit to Saudi Arabia.

Earlier, Gates had said that the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia had expressed willingness to push Beijing to support sanctions against Iran.

WASHINGTON POST:
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton rebuked Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Friday about the state of the U.S.-Israeli relationship, demanding that Israel take immediate steps to show it is interested in renewing efforts to achieve a Middle East peace agreement.

State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley described the nearly 45-minute phone conversation in unusually undiplomatic terms, signaling that the close allies are facing their deepest crisis in two decades after the embarrassment suffered by Vice President Biden this week when Israel announced during his visit that it plans to build 1,600 housing units in a disputed area of Jerusalem…..
“The announcement of the settlements on the very day that the vice president was there was insulting,” Clinton told CNN on Friday.

In California, I’ve filed a personal injury auto accident claim and need to release my medical records to the insurance company. I’m only claiming physical injury, not psychological/emotional but the doctor who is treating me for pain with alternative treatments such as biofeedback is also my therapist. His notes from our appoinments contain co-mingled info and I don’t want to submit my personal mental health information. His physical pain treatments are important to my case and I’d like to know if there is a way around this?

Considering you’ve asked this question at least twice now, sounds like there is something you are trying to hide.

So what if you are mentally disturbed. If that is not related to the injuries you sustained in the accident, the insurance company is not going to care what those records state.
