ICBC Personal Injury Claim Advice?

I was driving my dad's car to take my parents to the airport. I had to stop suddenly and to avoid hitting the cars at a red light in front of me I swerved to the curb lane and smacked dead on into a pole. No other vehicles were involved. I believe the brakes didn't work. My dad and I were not seriously injured but my mom was. No broken bones or anything but severe pain. My parents are seniors in their 70's. My dad has early Alzheimers so she was his caregiver and she also did babysitting for my nephew which she was paid for. The car was a write off and they refused to check the brakes for fault.





How do we deal with ICBC so we get all that we are entitled to? Do we need a lawyer to sue for damages or will ICBC award damages to her automatically? Any advice dealing with ICBC would be appreciated. Thank you!ICBC Personal Injury Claim Advice?
First off when were the brakes last serviced? If it was recent and you have receipts to prove it then liability rests with the shop. If you don't have proof of repairs or if the brakes weren't serviced then there is no liability with anyone other than the owner of the car for improper maintenance and NO your insurance company will not inspect the brakes.ICBC Personal Injury Claim Advice?
You are at fault for this accident. Your parents are responsible for the upkeep of their car and you are responsbile for knowing the car is in good driving condition before you get behind the week. Your mother will not be awarded anything above medical bills (if she even gets that- she may get nothing since shes likely on the policy.)





Call your insurance and let them explain to you your injury benefits. But please be aware you ARE at fault.. and will get nothing above medical bills IF THAT.
