basically because the law was changed to allow the successful party yo claim costs from the losing one giving birth to no win no fee misnomer. This title is incorrect because under law you can claim 100% of your compensation and your costs such as your solicitor in addition
One of the most frequent questions I’m asked as a BC Personal Injury Lawyer is how much is my claim worth?.
This is an important question for anyone injured through the fault of another in British Columbia. When negotiating with ICBC (or another Insurance company) the playing field is typically imbalanced in that the Claims Adjuster has lots of experience in valuing personal injury claims. Unless you are an injury claims lawyer you understandably would have little experience in valuing these claims and may need help valuing your losses.
It is important to empower yourself for the negotiation because in tort claims the insurer is negotiating on behalf of the person that injured you. With this in mind, here is a brief video introduction discussing some of the common ‘heads of damages’ that are frequently addressed in BC personal injury lawsuits. I hope this information is of some assistance in balancing the information playing field.

ive got 3rd party F&T
The "bump" was my fault with no damage to the 3rd partys car but hes claiming wiplash will i have to pay the excess. or not?
If you mean your deductible, I have never seen a policy with a deductible on the liability portion. So if the liability portion of your policy does not have a deductible then no. If you mean will you have to pay for the other party’s injuries if they exceed your liability limits, then yes you are responsible for those amounts.

My doctor billed my medical insurance for services rendered to me due to a personal injury. I now have a balance due for co pay and deductibles. Can this be included with my settlement? Is it against the law?
In auto accidents, auto insurance is primary and health insurance is secondary. When you settle for a injury settlement, you will be required to pay back either the auto or health insurance what they paid for your medical bills.
Most likely your health insurance will find out this was due to an accident and ask you if you have auto insurance for reimbursement.
Call YOUR insurance company and inquire if you have medical payments and/or PIP on your policy. They should pay these bills and possibly any co-pays, deductibles depending on your policy and state where you live. They will explain the procedure.
In any settlement, they should include the amount of your medical bills including your out of pocket expenses, maybe lost wages and some pain/suffering. But any payment made by auto or health will have a lien on that amount paid on your behalf.
good luck
