Ask yourself this question. If you are in an accident and it is not your fault, would you want someone who witnessed the event come help you out? There is your answer. For those who doesn't, I sure hope karma will come one day and you will regret for not helping.

I wish more people would do this, when I got rear ended and went flying into an intersection, people thought it was and inconvenience and drove off, didn't even check to see if I was injured/alive.

Props to you OP!

I would stop and give my information for sure only if I saw the entire situation, or deem that my portion of what I saw would make a difference in ruling.

However, that opportunity hasn't come up yet (and I don't hope it does)

2 years ago, this asswhipe middle-aged China fob side-swiped my car when he changed lanes in an intersection... he then laid the blames on me. Good thing there were pedestrians who saw the whole thing and stayed till the cops came and told them what they saw. Props to nice and righteous people like the OP.

Saw an old lady who got hit by a careless driver who tried to make a turn on to kingsway going west from clark/knight awhile ago. I was in a rush driving company's vehicle but I did the same thing, looped around the block & stayed til the popo arrived. ICBC did call me back but didn't know if the old lady is ok.

How about hit & runs? Do u guys leave any info if u saw something like that? Saw that happen one time in Crystal Mall. Tons of ppl around but no one left any info. Poor guy got big dent on his front fender & front door.

So I pull over and walk up to give the young girl my info
admit it...you turned back because it was a hot young girl

seriously tho...you did a great thing. I hate seeing soft easy going ppl being bullied by loud mouth jerks

I've left my card with 3 people this year alone.

The last one, I was in a huge rush to get to a jobsite so I couldn't stick around. I gave the person who wasn't at fault my card, told her to give me a call if she needed a witness and left. I felt as if I should give my version of the story to ICBC while it was fresh in my head so I called Dial-A-Claim with details - just witnessed, these plate numbers, if you need a formal statement, give me a call, etc.. I got a call from the adjuster, several days later, followed by the girl, an hour after that. She said that had it not been for my account of the accident, she would've got dinged on her premiums (deemed 50/50 at fault).

Karma, good.

Another question spurs up is whether your statement is biased in any way. Like in OP's case, it's normal for people to side with the young girl and his statement might reflect that. It is important to just tell what you saw and not your interpretation of what you saw. Leave the interpretation to the judge.

UPDATE:

So I finally got a call from ICBC regarding the accident. Long story short: The older lady tried to claim to ICBC that the younger lady was driving while talking on her cell phone and therefore she was at fault. ICBC believed my version of the events and that the older lady simply pulled out into the path of the young lady without even looking and in an aggressive manner.

They assigned the old lady 100% of the blame (I mentioned the young lady tried to avoid the accident but simply ran out of room to swerve around).

What a bitch move... does ICBC make a note of these bullshitters? So basically like they lose credibility in the eyes of ICBC for any future accidents?

I've witnessed 3 accidents and all 3 times I was in a rush so I've just pulled over quickly to give the parties my business card if they needed a witness.
