Absolutely awful

by Vanfan on Dec 7, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

Constant lack of communication.
They know they have the upper hand so they keep ignoring messages and having to cover for expenses.
My recovery specialist just decides for himself and does not follow the guidelines of ICBC. When I send links to articles and guidelines he doesn’t like it when I question things, and he shuts me down.
This should be illegal.

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

by Captken on Oct 31, 2023
5 out of 5 stars

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.

No care for people injured

I was injured by a driver that was texting and driving with her 2 kids in the car. I am unable to work my 3 jobs and ICBC claims that they don’t have to pay me any income benefit replacement. I have had 3 different claims specialist and they have all been rude, lying, horrible employees with no morals. Terrible greedy company that needs to be taken away.

Man On Phone Very Rude To ME

by Stella on Oct 4, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

I just had a question regarding the discounts for driving under 5k kilometers.

I am disabled. This man on the phone was impatient with me and sort of nasty/mean tone. He was just awful. I told him so and I also told him to calm himself down when he is talking to a disabled person. Just a horrendous experience. Totally unneccesary to be this rude to someone calling for explaination of discount on their insurance policy. I will not be dealing with them again.

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!

A joke

by VancouverPPL on Sep 19, 2023

Regardless of whether I should bear 100% responsibility for this car accident or not, ICBC's treatment of me has been highly inappropriate. Their actions subjected me to a distressing experience, leading to both mental stress and additional physical pain.

Throughout my interaction with ICBC during the claims process, there were concerning instances of wrongful treatment and unfair practices by ICBC staff. Initially, they altered my information to place the blame entirely on me for the accident. When I discovered these discrepancies and requested corrections, they did make adjustments but continued to assert that the fault lay entirely with me. They even provided reasons to support their decision, which appeared biased.

I also have particular concerns regarding the communication and responsiveness of ICBC staff members. Their communication with me has been notably lacking in terms of timeliness and accuracy. One sent me a few emails to which I responded, but regrettably, there was no subsequent reply. Furthermore, he has not engaged in effective phone communication, resorting only to leaving voicemail messages, and he has not responded when I attempted to return his calls. Another instance is other rep, who emailed me a report detailing ICBC's work on my claim case. However, the information in her email appeared to be inaccurate, suggesting that ICBC's record-keeping processes may be less than precise.

No more treatment and about adjuster

by Mihee on Jul 31, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

It was such a serious accident that a pickup truck hit my car in multiple collisions with more than four cars and the car was abandoned. Fortunately, there was no bleeding trauma, but I and my son were severely shocked as they hit the back and sides of my car hard. After about a year or so, my ICBC adjuster said I needed a doctor's note to receive more treatment, so I had a hard time getting a doctor's note as a walk-in. However, in the meantime, as the Adjuster changed, she said you can't take treatment without Kinesiology, and the Doctor's Note I received became useless.
I asked her shouldn't you give me permission to be treated at least once since I've been given a doctor's note as your former Adjuster told me to? I complained that I met a doctor and made my time spent on Doctors' notes useless, but she still said no.
I wanted acupuncture and massage treatment but I was rejected over and over again. I've even met a doctor and I'm so angry that he's handling it like this. Who can trust ICBC if I let my time go away and by any measure, it's like a light accident? I still have pain all over my body, but I'm so upset that I said I would get rid of the compensation treatment and provide treatment until the end, but I made it too difficult to get treatment after a year. The adjuster didn't consider my situation at all, and when I got the call from her at first, I felt very unfriendly throughout the phone call and sarcastically as if I were someone who offered to be treated when I was not sick. That happened earlier this year and just a few days ago she finally told me that I was not getting any more treatment.
How can an accident happen to anyone, but after a year, no more treatment? How can I solve this problem? Somebody tell me

Truck claim repairs

by Perry John on Dec 10, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

Almost 2 years later & my truck is still not fixed to the way it was before getting hit by a runaway shotcrete trailer... I got nothing good to say about ICBC or the Fiji island collision shop, terrible workmanship by the collision shop! ICBC absolutely doesn’t care about anyone but their bonuses!
