Question 2

My vehicle has been damaged in an accident, what do I do now?

Accepted Answer

Unless you know for certain that you are going to pay for the damage yourself, it is best to contact your insurance company first, even if you are unsure about who will pay for the damage. If the damage is your fault, or partially your fault, you can always decide to pay for it yourself later without using your insurance coverage and your premiums will be unaffected. You can reach ICBC's Dial-a-Claim number 24/7 at 1-800-910-4222.(tel:1-800-910-4222) You can find more information on the process by visiting ICBC's website.(https://www.icbc.com/claims/report-view) If you have private insurance in addition to basic ICBC coverage, you should contact your insurance provider. Once you have spoken to ICBC or your private insurance provider and obtained a claim number, come see us for an estimate.

Question 3

What do I do if my vehicle is unsafe drive after an accident?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes it is obvious that a vehicle cannot or should not be driven, other times less so—perhaps the headlights are damaged or a door will not close securely—either way, you should discuss any concerns with your insurance company. If your insurance company determines that your vehicle needs to be towed, it will be covered as part of the claim to be paid by either your insurance company or the other driver's insurance company. Once there is approval to have the vehicle towed, we can arrange for the pick-up and transfer of your vehicle to our location.
