I am writting this because I have a question concerning ICBC settlements. In 2003 I was living in vancouver and I was extremely addicted to crystal meth, while I was there I was hit by a motorvehicle that had been hit by another. I, from the pain I assume, began to have an addicton to pain killers soon after.I have since cleaned up completely. When I think back to dealing with the broker at ICBC, I feel as though I was pushed into to settling and felt as though they knew that I was messed up and would have took anything they offered. It is now years later and I am always in pain in the areas that were damaged in the accident. I feel as though I was not in the right frame of mind to enter a contract where money was involved, I was using for quite awhile after that and never really thought about the money or the situation clearly because at the time all I could think of was drugs and getting high. I do not feel as though I was compensated, I feel as though they looked at me, seen that I was a heavy drug user and they knew I would take whatever they would offer me. I think often of how stupid I was but then I wonder, that I wasn't really capable of signing a contract that I had absolutely no clue about. Please help me, I know I have been judged many times in my life for my past but I feel like they sat back and laughed at me and now I am in alot of pain. Thank you for any help you may have.
