David Wallin and Anna Osadchyy have authored a paper titled: “Recent Legislative Changes to the Law of Subrogation in Bodily Injury Actions in British Columbia: Progressive Legislative Change or Robbing Peter to Pay Paul?” wherein the legislative impact of the amendments to the B.C. Insurance (Vehicle) Act with respect to subrogation claims in motor vehicle bodily injury claims is discussed.
A few of the issues discussed in their paper include the potential impact that the B.C. government’s recent amendments to the Act and Regulations for motor vehicle accidents occurring on or after May 17, 2018 are likely to have on injured BC motorists. Such legislative changes are anticipated to have a detrimental impact with respect to an injured party’s ability to recover damages for various heads of damages; access to necessary treatment; access to justice; court delays; and increased Court costs for injured parties, to name a few.
