$230,000 judgment proves even minor crashes can leave lifelong injuries

I.V. was injured in two accidents. The damage to the vehicles was modest, but she suffered injuries to her neck, back and hips which did not improve. ICBC told I.V. that in their view her accidents were too minor to deserve any compensation. I.V.’s injuries persisted in spite of medical treatment by her family doctor and other therapy, and over time her condition deteriorated. Even though I.V. had health problems before the accidents, it was clear to her that the two car accidents had made her overall health much worse. Mr. Cameron represented I.V. in a trial in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. The Court awarded I.V. more than $230,0000 in damages plus compensation for the legal costs of fighting her case.
