Navigating Your Recovery Journey
Part 1: ICBC Accident Benefits Coverage
What is this video about?
The BC Brain Injury Association (BCBIA) has created a series of short videos (6-11 minutes each) that highlight scenarios that we think are important for individuals and families to have information about, as they navigate ICBC’s Accident Benefit Coverage system.
When ICBC introduced changes to its Accident Benefits Coverage in April, 2019, we knew that many people would have questions, particularly if they had suffered a brain injury as a result of a motor vehicle accident. We started out by creating a series of blog posts intended to help provide information to our stakeholders about the claims process.
This first video focuses on the details of the ICBC changes, and feature interviews with an ICBC representative, a family physician, and a BCBIA board member.
