Brain Injury and ICBC Survey and Blog Post
If you sustained a brain injury in a car crash after April 1, 2019, we are keen to hear your experiences, thoughts, feelings and advice.
We invite you to please use this new online survey to tell us your story.
Our intent is to collect meaningful stories that reflect survivors’ experiences in navigating the new ICBC Accident Benefits Coverage. We will collate the information and identify common themes, share a summary of it with ICBC, and use it to inform next steps.
We want to identify opportunities for improvement and hear your thoughts about additional information or activities that can support survivors in navigating the ICBC Accident Benefit Coverage system going forward.
For more details about the survey and to read our blog post follow this link.
