Total my car, anybody have experice dealing with ICBC in this situation?

Long story short I hit a power line pole and my car is totaled.
No other car/people were involved.
How will ICBC handle this since it was my fault?
I have basic coverage, collision and comprehensive.
Are they going to write it off or am I not going to get anything?
Already filed a claim and waiting for a reply, just want to know what to expect.

Depends whether they think your car is worth fixing, are you just calling it totalled or is the car the size of a mini now?

and depending on how bad the damage is and what the current market value the car is worth, it might or might not be totaled.

This will be considered a Single Vehicle Accident and will be processed under your collision coverage, which in turn will effect your discount.

To see what effect it will have, go here: http://www.icbc.com/autoplan-insuran...riables._frag_

In regards to your vehicle, what will happen is it will get towed into an ICBC facility and then estimated. Depending on the extent of the damage, your vehicle may be fixed or it may be written off.

Either way, you will be subject to your collision deductible. If your vehicle is written off, it will be deducted from your settlement amount. If your vehicle is fixable, you will have to pay it to the bodyshop.

That's a little harsh, don't you think?

+1

I think that's very harsh. Who is he to judge on the OP just based on this accident.

you're still covered under you're insurance policy
if its a Single Vehilcle Accident (SVA) - you're rates will go up based on the ICBC claim scale. http://www.icbc.com/autoplan-insuran...riables._frag_

Not on the left coast. Public insurance will mean his rates will only go up so much. Private insurance would raise his rates through the roof.

Its only totalled cause it'll cost more to fix than the car is worth.

I had similar damage on my car, as long as the frame isn't bent it can be fixed.

I highly doubt they are going to fix it. The car is worth $7-8k tops
