British Columbia Insurance Blog : Canada Insurance Lawyer & Attorney : Michael Thomas of Harper Grey Law Firm : British Columbia, Vancouver

People injured in automobile accidents in British Columbia generally receive some type of insurance benefits.  In addition, they may sue and seek compensation from negligent parties.  Section 25 of the Insurance (Motor Vehicle) Act ensures that insurance benefits are deducted from damages recovered from negligent parties.  I recently spoke at a conference for the Trial Lawyers of British Columbia on this issue.  I have attached the  paper that was written by Sara Harbottle, an articled student at Harper Grey LLP, for my presentation to the extended entry section of this entry.
