Wow. So that's the accident I heard from my balcony while BBQ'íng. Glad to see you are safe. Hey at least the ICBC centre is close by there.

Holy shit....are you hurt? Your Volvo did a good job absorbing a lot of the impact energy. Hope you're ok...it'll hurt after the initial shock wears off.

What year was it? It could very well have been a ford | Yeah I'm glad it didn't come to that for me. My S40 was a 2002 and I'm pretty sure it shares the same platform as the focus and mazda 3

HEY MATSUDA I THINK YOU SHOULD GET A LAWYER
Ya, t'is a ford unfortunately. Still a decent car though, lots of potential with those engines. Even if it's a Ford, sorry to see it off the road.

Hey Matsuda,
if you haven't seen icbc yet, you should go see them, see your doctor, etc. ICBC will give you 12 treatments of your doctor or your choice for 8 weeks starting on the day of your accident. ICBC will subsidize a portion of the treatments and you will be left to pay the remaining amount. If you get a lawyer, they might help you pay for your treatments initially so you won't have to pay up front. Hope you feel better soon.

yeah I talked to a lawyer today already, thanks for your advice guys. I've already went to the doctor, talked to the lawyer, made an ICBC claim, and arranged the car to be towed to a garage to get it checked out. I also saved some ads showing how much it would be to replace my car with a similar year model so I think all I can do is wait right now till an adjuster calls me.

Honestly, how can he not have paid attention in that situation? He has to turn left or right, so he has to stop or slow down anyways.
