Adi asked for sidebar options and, in the same breath, the question that decides them:
does the sidebar still need a form, now that the hero has one and the consultation tab is on
every screen? Below is the count that makes that answerable, then five options spanning
no form to the form exactly as it is.
The answer is no — and it is a count, not an opinion.
Here is every way the page as it stands asks to be contacted:
where
what it asks for
hero contact panel
phone at display size + 2 fields + Call Me Back
article, opening line
“Contact us today for a consultation” + the number
article, closing line
“may be contacted by phone … or via email”
sidebar form
4 fields + Send Message
contact strip, full width
phone + email
Get in touch
“Please contact us for more information”
footer form
4 fields + Send Message
footer bottom
phone, fax, email, address
consultation tab (new)
always on screen → modal with 4 fields
Nine places. 14 input fields. The phone number 11 times. Four submit buttons.
The sidebar form is not merely one of several — it is a literal duplicate. It has the
same four fields, the same “* indicates required fields” legend, the same
“Your information is kept safe” and the same SEND MESSAGE button as the footer form. The
page ships the same component twice.
The tab does the sidebar form’s job better. A sidebar form is on screen for part of
the scroll; the tab is on screen for all of it, and opens the same four fields.
Three forms is three different definitions of “enough” — the hero asks
two fields, the sidebar and footer ask four. That is a decision pushed onto the reader.
The sidebar has a job nothing else can do: it is the only route to the other
twelve injury claims. Today the form pushes that list up and competes with it.
Recommendation: S1 — navigation, then one card with the phone and a Book Consultation
button that opens the tab’s modal. If a form has to stay, S3: one field, which is a
different offer rather than the same offer a third time.
How the column is spent. The article column on this page is
1,534px tall. The claims list is about 500 of that, so what an option does with the other
1,000 is the real question.

Two things this sheet does not decide:
The article still opens with its own contact line — teal hexagon, then
“Contact us today for a consultation · (250) 888-0002” — about 200px
under a hero that has just given the same number at 54px. That is the article’s part, not the
sidebar’s, and it is still the replica.
Whether the footer form stays either. If the sidebar form goes because the tab does its
job, the same argument reaches the footer form. Worth deciding once, for both.
Reading the frames: each stage is the real page geometry —
832 + 64 + 384 = 1280 — with the article column in real copy at real size, dimmed,
because a 384px column only means something next to the 832 it sits beside. The orange tab is drawn on
the right edge of every frame: it is on the page now, and it is half the argument.
Sidebar — S1 … S5
S1Navigation, then one cardno formThe thirteen sibling claims, then a single card carrying the phone and one Book Consultation button — which opens the same modal the tab opens. No fields in the sidebar at all.

League & Williams are Experienced Car Accident Injury Claims Lawyers
Being involved in a car accident can be scary and often those injured in motor vehicle
accidents are unaware of how to ensure the best recovery possible. Those injured in car accidents
in British Columbia, whether as a driver, passenger, pedestrian or cyclist are entitled to pursue
compensation for their injuries. Car accident victims who are injured may claim for pain and
suffering, out-of-pocket expenses, loss of housekeeping capacity, loss of income and diminished earning
capacity, and for cost of future care.
Typically those involved in car accidents in British Columbia may make two types of claims – a
Tort claim and a Part 7 claim.
A Tort claim is available for those who are injured and who can prove that another person was, at
least partly, at fault or responsible for causing the accident. The person must also establish
that they suffered damages, and that those damages were the result of the accident.
This is the recommendation. The card keeps a visible call to action in the column (the tab is on the screen edge and easy to read past) without asking for four fields the page already asks for twice elsewhere.
S2Navigation, then who takes the caseno formThe claims list, then the five lawyers who actually handle injury work, as faces, with a link to the team — and a small card with the phone under it.

The only option that puts something in the sidebar that exists nowhere else on the page. “Who would I be dealing with” is a real question on a claims page and nothing on this page answers it. The faces are the live site’s own headshots, monochrome so they sit behind the type rather than in front of it.
S3Navigation, then one field1 fieldThe claims list, then a brown block asking for a phone number and nothing else — the smallest ask on the page.

Leave a number. One field, nothing else — a lawyer calls you back.
If a form has to stay, this is the one that does not duplicate anything: the footer already asks for name, email, phone and message. Asking for one field is a different offer, not the same offer twice — and it matches the hero’s own Call Me Back promise.
S4Navigation, then the form as it is4 fieldsThe status quo: the claims list, then the four-field form the live sidebar carries, redrawn in the new vocabulary so the comparison is about the form and not about the styling.

Kept in the sheet so the cost is visible rather than argued. This form is character-for-character the footer’s form — same four fields, same legend, same “Your information is kept safe”, same button. Two identical components on one page.
S5Navigation only, stickyno formNothing but the claims list — but it sticks, so it stays beside the reader for the whole article instead of scrolling away after the first screen.

Sticky: the list stays with the reader for the whole 1,534px of article. Contact is the tab on the right edge.
The article column is 1,534px; the claims list is about 500. In every other option the bottom two thirds of the sidebar is empty space that scrolls past. This is the only option that uses the column’s real length — and the only one where the sibling claims are reachable from anywhere in the article.
