Scene, vehicle damage and dashcam evidence can help establish what happened.
Enhanced Accident Benefits are generally available regardless of who was responsible, but ICBC's responsibility assessment can still affect insurance consequences and vehicle-damage issues.
ICBC publishes a specific responsibility-assessment dispute process. Review the assessment, gather the evidence that supports your version and follow the formal review steps.
Scene, vehicle damage and dashcam evidence can help establish what happened.
Independent witnesses may matter where accounts conflict.
Signals, lanes, right-of-way and other traffic rules can affect the assessment.
Understand the basis for ICBC's percentage decision before challenging it.
ICBC currently states that after receiving the formal CL722 responsibility decision following the internal review process, a person has 90 days to file the responsibility dispute with the Civil Resolution Tribunal. Verify the current rule on the date of your dispute.
A stronger responsibility challenge connects the evidence to the road layout, vehicle movements and rules that ICBC used in the assessment.
Write a clear timeline of lane position, signals, turns, braking and impact rather than relying on a general statement that the other driver was at fault.
Dashcam footage, witnesses, photographs and objective scene information can be more useful than competing recollections.
Compare the evidence directly with ICBC's written reasoning and percentage assessment.
