In a case that took more than 13 years to arrive at trial, the driver was awarded $200,000 — one-sixth of what he sought and seven times what ICBC offered, according to B.C. Supreme Court judgment.
A driver seeking $1.3 million for damages in an accident that happened 13 years ago — damages that ICBC argued were worth $30,000 — has been awarded $200,000 by a judge in B.C. Supreme Court.
But the Trial Lawyers Association of B.C., made up largely of personal injury lawyers who have lost a large income stream since no fault arrived, said there are “serious issues” with no-fault, including inadequate payments to victims of crashes. The accident happened on June 7, 2011, when Krupinski was rear-ended by another car at the corner of S.E. Marine Drive, while stopped at a red light waiting to turn on to S.E. Marine Way to go westbound.
ICBC argued his symptoms are attributable to other circumstances and events and not the accident, she wrote.
