When you’ve suffered a riding injury involving a motor vehicle, our bicycle accident lawyer in Vancouver here at Butler & Company has acted as counsel in thousands of cases all over British Columbia.  He can help you every step of the way in your injury case whether it is to obtain a quick settlement or act as counsel at trial.

Introduction:

With the increase in traffic on the roadways the municipal and provincial authorities have instituted more and more bike lanes and bike access inside and outside the city, especially in areas like Vancouver.  The institution of greater bike lanes has lead to an increase in popularity of bicycle travel as a primary means of transportation.  Bicycles, motorcycles and cars share the roadway and the intersections.  Often times their interaction leads to bicycle accidents that result in injury.  Usually when metal meets flesh the metal wins. Same goes for when pavement meets flesh even it is well protected with a helmet.  Bicycles injuries can be especially catastrophic as bicycles are usually traveling at some speed and when added to the force of the collision from a speeding vehicle the bicyclist himself suffers intense forces upon impact.  Though the bicyclist has many of the same duties as a driver when using the roadways in BC, there are extra special rules of the road that relate exclusively to bicycle use which must be investigated fully before making a claim for injuries.  Our lawyer can explain those rules to you so that you do not unknowingly admit something to ICBC that you later regret.

Jamie Butler is an experienced Vancouver based personal injury lawyer who has acted as counsel in cases where injuries claimed range from minor whiplash to serious brain injuries.  Throughout his legal career he has personally conducted close to 1000 trials as lead counsel.   That means he knows the inside and outside of a courtroom.  He has had plenty of success INSIDE the courthouse for his clients and that means that the insurance companies should all be aware that it would be best to deal with him by offering his injured clients a fair settlement OUTSIDE the courtroom and BEFORE matters progress to court.   It is often said that the best defence is a great offence!  Our personal injury lawyer, Jamie Butler is that great offence.  He will work hard for those injured in bicycle accidents to obtain the best result outside of court but if push comes to shove he will be there to present your case in the best possible light inside a courtroom to a judge or jury.
