Help: Hit-and-run involving a pedestrian
 

My sister was hit by a vehicle on May 3rd. She had the right of way, with the green walking sign when she crossed the intersection. Vehicle sped away after hitting her.

There were a couple of witnesses; I've tried to contact the Constables involved to see what information/leads they have, left a couple of messages and still no phone call.

- What more can I do to get a hold of the Constables?

Sister was dismissed from hospital today May 11th with some serious damage to her left leg's ligaments and bruises in a dozen of places.

I'm dealing with an Occupational Therapist right now from GF Strong referred by ICBC.

- Are these guys any good?
- Are there any rehab centre any of you personally dealt with that you would recommend?
- Any suggestions are welcome.

Call us at the switchboard tomorrow and we can see if the constables have a direct line. Some constables only have voicemail though and if that's the case your just gonna have to wait it out till they contact you back.

Edit or you can still call today lol. Forgot it's open till 5pm

My dad works at GF Strong, he said they treat tons of patients, everything from spinal injury to accidents rehab. They've been around for a long time, good reputation.

Hope it helps.

sorry about your sister. sounds pretty bad :(

Any more reviews on vancouver rehab centre would be great...

Thanks for advice. Switchboard was very helpful, checking their schedule and trying to find out how they can be reached etc.


Thanks, I'll let my sister know.

Thanks. I hope the driver gets what he/she deserves.

I had a buddy at GF strong for about 6-8 months he was hit by a car going 50 when he was standing there. It was a very good place and you should be happy your sister is there so quick!!

Sorry to hear, I hope that lowlife gets what he deserves

Did you happen to call us today and speak to a Carly? I overheard a coworkers call about somebody looking for officers and left a voice but was looking for a direct line?

Good luck mang!

any of the witnesses get the plate # of the vehicle?

GF Strong is probably one of, if not, the best physical therapy institutions in North America. My dad became temporarily paralysed from the waist down due to a undetected bacterial infection in his spine that actually ate an entire vertebrae. After multiple surgeries at Royal Columbian Hospital, then 6 months in GF Strong, he walked out on elbow crutches.

Although the injuries will always affect his life, he now walks around pretty normally. If you can get your sister in there do it as soon as you can.

Sorry to hear about your sister

Ya I did!! She was very helpful.

The only way to find more information relating the case is to talk to the officers involved because of the privacy laws. I've left a couple more messages today and will try to contact their detachment to see if I'm lucky enough to catch them in the office.

Thanks guys! We'll be meeting the lady from GF Strong tomorrow, hopefully she will be able to help my sister out.
