they happily take your money but use starve tactics when its their turn to pay

They will intentionally withhold wage replacement dispite severe injuries and found not at fault, until you repetitively call and beg them. Then they will act like they don't know why it didn't go thru. Scammers.

I have had brain injury, Back/spine injury and a wrist injury. 0 payout, and the wage replacement is 400$ less then what I was making before injury, which is NEVER on time. Also, don't bother calling them. They won't answer. If you miss their call, wait until next week.

Campbell River Front Desk HELP. She went the extra yard !!!!

My truck had received a crumpling dent while I was having breakfast at a Willow Point Restaurant. I am hearing impaired and the phone in the lobby would not work for me. I was about to leave and return home to try on-line, when she said. “Use your i-phone and phone me here I will pick-up and then route your direct to. So using “Bluetooth” I was able to accomplish this and quickly provide details for the initial report (ps the lady who brushed the truck left a nice note on the windshield). The lady handling the call was polite and efficient handling my claim. I later with the file number provided photographs of the truck and the letter under the driver’s wiper. All in all it was a rewarding experience of the Human side of a very large business.

ICBC roles out truth and reconciliation rhetoric

by Brenda Camfferman on Sep 29, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

I have dealt with ICBC for most of my life with various cars and have found that dealing with them is a necessary evil. However, being Indigenous, I was shocked to see this truth and reconciliation nonsense being rolled out paying lip service to the Indigenous community. I come from a household of 7 and we have both cars and bicycles. My two sons and one daughter-in-law use bicycles to get to work on a daily basis. One of my sons was hit by a car on his e-bike on his way home from work in May 2023; the accident was through no fault of his. He was going through an intersection and a car was in a hurry and turned directly into him, totaling his bike. Instead of treating him as a cyclist ICBC is treating him as a vehicle and asking him to jump through so many hoops that it is months later with still no action of settling this simple and straightforward claim.
The woman who hit my son takes full responsibility for the accident.
How about reconciling with one Indigenous person by doing what you are supposed to do instead of spending probably thousands and making so-called action plans of reconciliation? Based on your track record, you are way off course on reconciliation!

If you have a good driving record in AB, you should pay around $110/month (women - $105/month and men - $113/month). Do you overpay? Get an Alberta car insurance quote to start saving.

No fault insurance

by Donald Johnson on Apr 22, 2022

Complete nightmare... I was Broadsided (t-boned) on the driver's side. Another car ran a stop sign at high speed, and both cars are totalled. The driver got out and ran came back and said he wasn't the driver. ICBC is a maze of deception and gives you the run around for months. I am very injured with no compensation at all for pain/suffering. No-fault is only good for the person who causes accidents. Would never choose ICBC if there was any other choice. Get rid of them

Legally Criminal

Was rear ended at a red light, person at fault claimed i reversed into them - icbc sided with the claimant and denied my claim. I provided telemetry and gps data numerous times proving my vehicle was stationary and they continued to come up with new excuses to deny me.

The real reason is because my vehicle insurance is a 3rd party and icbc wanted to avoid paying anything whatsoever and sue my insurance instead. Best part, there’s no legal recourse I can take. They closed the claim while I was still mid-battle on providing the ever expanding “proof” they kept tacking on.

They are the worst auto insurance company and unfortunately have the monopoly so we don’t get a choice.

Starts well, ends very poorly

So had a collision (non-fault) resulting in a total loss claim. All ok during the initial reporting and notifications process and once acknowledged as non-fault a hire car was duly provided quickly. Fast forward a few days and the settlement offer comes through, not too bad really but a couple of bugbears and errors in the report so managed to get slightly more in the end. Again ok, except that you can tell they don't want to pay anything more than originally offered. Now at this point I ask, 'So how long have is the grace period for the hire car' to be told, Oh now you've had a settlement offer (not agreement or actually received the money) you have 3 days to return the car. Wow... one I haven't accepted this offer and two I don't have the money, how do I get a new vehicle and what do I do in the meantime? Apparently, that isn't their problem as I knew it was a total loss so should have been looking at cars already...hang on I haven't got the money so how do I get a new car? so I wasn't happy to have no car access with weekends away planned etc! Fast forward another week and I still haven't had the settlement check delivered and when I chased this up they said 'if it's still not there in a week call us again, but it has been issued'. Very very poor customer service and do not feel looked after at all. Would expect the hire car to be kept until at least the settlement money has been deposited in the bank. Also on the follow-up call, I was advised I could have had a direct transfer payment, something I was not even made aware of initially.

Did you know that on average Ontario drivers with good driving records pay $1,805/year in auto insurance? Is your insurance rate higher? Get a free car insurance quote and start saving today.

In an accident not my fault

by Icbc scaming on Feb 27, 2020

The accident wasn't my fault I got a concussion. The concussion limited my eyesight and still causing me blackouts so they promised wage subsidy after one month of nothing I kept emailing trying to phone nothing I provided everything they asked for three months later they finally made it clear that unemployment insurance had to come first and that they were going to top up the wages. I have now waited 6 months nothing from ICBC they decided to send me an email recently saying who cares about your symptoms and blackouts get back to work! So ICBC promotes unsafe driving now and people on the roads that may pass out! This isn't an insurance company it is a scam!
