Eligible Parties in an ICBC claim
- Drivers
- Passengers
- Bicyclists
- Motorcyclists
- Pedestrians
Being eligible to file a claim and getting compensation are two completely different things. Even with ICBC’s no fault coverage, denials are not uncommon. Discussing your case with a Langley ICBC claim lawyer is the best way to determine if you are eligible for benefits and one of the most effective ways to get the maximum benefits you are due.

ICBC and the Appeals Process
- Talk to the adjustor – we can investigate your accident and provide your adjustor with information he or she may not have been aware of
- Talk to the adjustor’s manager – if we are not satisfied with the adjustor’s response, we can take the claim to their manager. The manager may resolve the issue or refer it to the ICBC claims coverage committee. If referred, the committee will determine if your coverage applies, which may include requiring additional information if your claim was denied on grounds of an insurance breach
- Court dispute – if we cannot reach a resolution with ICBC, we can take your case to court. In these instances, small claims court would assess the evidence we provide and determine the amount you are due
