Get a lawyer? Seems to be the only way to get ICBC to do anything.

A little update ...

Cycled same last week and lo and behold at the offending junction is a big sign stating "caution traffic priorities changed" AND a large NO RIGHT TURN ( except cyclists) sign !

Don't know if any other incidents at that junction, but glad to know that my knee had played a part in increasing cyclist safety !

I hope you have pictures of what the junction showed before - good ammunition for legal proceedings!

Hope your knee gets better soon.

Loss of earnings, loss of enjoyment of life, punitive damages, cost of transportation to and from physio appointments, pain and suffering.

You have had this injury for months and it must be causing problems for you, to some degree or other?

Look up "BC Injury Law"

This one isn't dissimilar. http://bc-injury-law.com/blog/30000-...-tissue-injury and also Carter v. Zhan,2012 BCSC 595 and Vela v. MacKenzie, 2012 BCSC 438
