British Columbia guide

Car injury claims in British Columbia

Understand your recovery pathway and organise the financial impact.

Start with the injury-benefit process

ICBC provides information about treatment, recovery and financial benefits after a crash. Its guidance includes income replacement, personal care assistance and travel reimbursement. The applicable process depends on the accident and coverage.

Why a generic settlement range can be misleading

Under Enhanced Care, ICBC says injury lawsuits are generally restricted, with specific exceptions. That changes how a conventional settlement calculator should be used. The free tool therefore provides your recorded financial impact and directs you to ICBC guidance instead of displaying the Ontario scenario.

What you can organise here

  • Amounts of income already missed and accident-related expenses.
  • Reimbursements received for those same losses.
  • Your treatment, recovery and daily-life effects.

The result is a summary of what you enter, not an ICBC benefit determination. Keep receipts and supporting records for the appropriate claims process.

Drivers, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists

ICBC’s injury guidance also covers support for cyclists and pedestrians involved in a crash with a motor vehicle. The relevant benefits and process should be checked against the individual circumstances.
