Changes at ICBC are coming in full effect today - and so from now on  there will be a limit of $5,500 on pain and suffering payouts for injuries designated as “minor” - a move that is designed to save the crown corporation upwards of one  billion dollars a year.

The Trial Lawyers Association of BC is launching a constitutional challenge against the changes, saying it violates basic human rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
