Why McKechnie No Longer Handles Personal Injury Claims
For many years, McKechnie & Company assisted clients with personal injury matters, including motor vehicle accidents, off-road collisions, and pedestrian injury claims. However, with the introduction of BC’s Enhanced Care (no-fault) auto insurance in May 2021, the legal landscape for motor vehicle personal injury claims has changed dramatically.
Under this new system, people injured in a car accident are generally limited in their ability to sue the at-fault driver for damages such as pain and suffering or lost income. Instead, insurance benefits are provided directly through ICBC, covering medical care, wage loss, rehabilitation, permanent impairment, and vehicle damage. Because of these reforms, most personal injury lawsuits are no longer possible, and legal representation is rarely needed for standard motor vehicle claims.
