Being involved in a car accident can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with injuries and insurance claims. Learn how Fortis Physiotherapy can help you navigate the ICBC claims process and get the treatment you need.
Immediate Steps After an Accident
If you've been in a car accident, prioritize your health. Seek medical attention immediately, even if you don't feel injured right away. Some injuries, like whiplash, may not manifest symptoms until hours or days later. Document everything, including photos of the accident scene and any visible injuries.
It's important to report the accident to ICBC as soon as possible. Early reporting ensures your claim is processed smoothly and you can access treatment benefits without delay.
Understanding ICBC Coverage
ICBC provides coverage for medical treatments related to car accidents, including physiotherapy, chiropractic care, and massage therapy. You don't need to pay out of pocket for these treatments - we direct bill to ICBC, making the process seamless for you.
ICBC coverage typically includes assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation services. The amount of coverage depends on your policy, but most claims include substantial treatment benefits to support your recovery.
