Why is accuracy in my statement so important?
To reach a conclusion about who is responsible for your car accident, the claims adjuster will look at your signed statement along with the statements of the other driver or drivers and testimony from any witnesses. Your statement is an important part of your case. Any factual mistakes, omissions or exaggerations can be expected to affect your ICBC claim later. So, before you sign your statement, read it carefully. Ensure that the statement is true and accurate. Making a false statement may cause you to lose your entire ICBC claim and be subject to prosecution. If you think the statement is incorrect or inaccurate, make whatever changes you think are necessary to be accurate. If you are not fluent in English, take the statement with you to be reviewed and translated for you prior to your signing.
Make sure you are provided with a copy of your statement. |
