Last Friday my wife was driving my car (we own only one car and it's on my name). She stopped at a stop sign near holdom skytrain station. Suddenly she loosen the brake i guess and touched the front car. The lady of that car didn't say anything that day after both looked at the cars. Now after 3 days she called and said there is damage and she got sick standing in rain (it was raining Friday evening).
I've attached the photo of that car that my wife took.

Deny, deny, deny. Delete this post.

She got sick from standing in the rain?!?!?!


I don't want to live on this planet anymore

After you're involved in an accident (no matter how minor), ICBC gives everyone an absurd amount of time to report it. I think it's like a year or something.

Send your photo in and claim there was no damage. ICBC will ask to bring both cars.

Also fuck that woman. Got sick standing in the rain...shake my fucking head.

[inv4zn]

Completely unrelated, every now and then I'd be sitting at a red light, knowing it's gonna be a while. And there are certain cars that lurch forward a tad, randomly.

The light is still red, everyone is still stopped, and one car will inch forward, then brake hard. And then inch forward a bit more and brake hard again. Repeat.

I've always wondered what the fuck. Are they super anxious to gun it off the line? Do their legs hurt if stepping on the brake pedal for so long? Maybe they heard some stupid bs that staying on your brakes too long is bad for the car?

Now I know that it is just OP's wife.

[AzNightmare]

Strange story... Did your wife stop her car right up behind the car in front.
How do you let go of the brake and immediately hit the car in front.

Do this. Let ICBC sort it out if the other driver is giving you shit.

[Spoon]

In the rain, I doubt you can really see if there's damage. Get ICBC to do a matchup.

If she missed work due to stress/sickness/injury etc, she can possibly make a claim for loss wages. For a simple fever/cold, tell her to take Tylenol. :fuckthatshit:

[GLOW]

icbc will take care of it, it's their job. do what inv4zn said. i hope icbc will read her the riot act if she tries to make a claim for getting sick standing in the rain. chances are they'll just tell her to fuck off FeelsBadMan

[604STIG]

As stated above. Take the first step, go ahead and contact ICBC and get those photos into them. At least it's then on record of there being no/minimal damage to the vehicle. Then they can deal with her sniffles.

[bcuzracecarz]

I'm just curious as to what exactly she's looking to get out of saying she got sick standing in rain...I hate 2016

[originalhypa]

This thread can be summed up in a haiku.


Life is a challenge
Life is harder when you're dumb
wifey must hold brake

Thanks.
I know it was my wife's fault, she lost concentration for a moment.
Even if there is any damage done i am willing to pay it. I hope icbc will not charge for getting sick standing in the rain for 5 minutes.
I wanted to know the procedures.
I've never dealt anything like this before.

She was focused to something else outside, didn't realize breaker was loose and car is rolling slowly forward. But yes it's her fault.

Come on c-lai

On a serious note, report to ICBC and ICBC will bill you. Your premiums only go up if you don't pay for the bill. Never settle privately. ICBC will also assess the damage so the other party doesn't jack up the repair cost with the bodyshop they chose. (Not too much anyways)

[yray]

your insurance will expire in 2 days.

Better renew asap and then go through ICBC.

[320icar]

Lol wut. That's not his car. Clearly the person his wife rolled in to

[FerrariEnzo]

Do I need a magnify glass to see this damage or should we call in CSI... I bet they can "enhanced" this

[6o4__boi]

i swear to god, i thought this entire thread was all about ED and PE

[604STIG]

Or find traces of semen:concentrate:

[dvst8]

If there is no damage at all, she wont get anything.

[sonick]

Was gonna say... just tell her you swear it's never happened to you before and that you were probably just tired or stressed from work.

You don't. She was probably looking at her phone not realizing the car was moving forward slowly. I've seen this more than once..

[Inaii]

Then your wife shouldn't be driving.

[hud 91gt]

You don't. She was probably looking at her phone not realizing the car was moving foward slowly. I've seen this more than once..

My thought exactly...

[Mancini]

Report to ICBC. Let them deal wtih it.
You don't deal with her directly. At all. There's no benefit. At all.
Sick from standing in the rain is meaningless. She can't claim for this.

Thanks, going to report at ICBC online.

I'd hate to bring this thread up, buy here's the update - today ICBC called and let me know that woman went through a lawyer and claimed injury.

Now i wonder, how long or how much she will continue to suck money..

[sonick]

ICBC's problem now.

[Euro7r]

Injury from what? Sounds like load of bullshit to me she's trying to claim. This is the reason us that have zero accidents/claim free still have to pay high insurance premiums every year because of these bitches that claim injury from say a minor 5km hit etc.

I think these lawyers have pet doctors, who can vouch for these 'injuries' and such the money out of it..

[VR6GTI]

Yup same shit happened to my wife
Tens of thousands of lawyers money to fight the scammer and then the scammer will get nothing or very small settlement and everyone pays more. People get pissed off at Icbc for raising rates but it's claims like this that they have to fight everyday

[DragonChi]

I thought that you can't claim injury below a certain speed limit?

[riasat.abir]

I thought that you can't claim injury below a certain speed limit?

Is there any rule like that? I'm afraid not. It's a grey zone.

If anything, ICBC should take care of all that for you. Your insurance rates should go up because using your phone while driving is pretty silly. IMO.

[VR6GTI]

I believe they try this tactic but anyone can go get a lawyer and then Icbc gets a lawyer and then come the costs

[DragonChi]

True, at that point, the courts decide who gets compensation.

[riasat.abir]

I read that, if you are at 100% at fault (that's the case for rear ending), ICBC doesn't bother much as they are getting the money from you.

[DragonChi]

If you have basic insurance, they're the one paying for it. As I've come to understand from other ICBC threads. In the end, it is coming out of your coverage from ICBC.

[320icar]

Sigh. I knew this was gonna happen. Fucking leech cuntfucks of society

[wingies]

I rear ended someone when they abruptly cut me off when traffic started going at a greenlight, they claimed that the hit misaligned their sunroof and it was leaking water and their wife was injured lol

I fought it and ICBC deemed them 100% at fault

[asian_XL]

I feel sick reading this post, can I have a quarter from you?

[meme405]

Sigh. I knew this was gonna happen. Fucking leech cuntfucks of society

Yep, when I read the "Got sick standing in the rain" I knew exactly what this bitch was heading for.

I hope ICBC butt fucks her. Literally I can't even see a mark on her car. Lawyers that stand behind bogus claims like this need to be shamed as well.

And if anyone believes she was actually injured, then we should probably lock her up in a padded room with a straight jacket so she can't hurt herself, since she must obviously be made of paper mache.

[prelude_prince]

I'm surprised at you guys saying ICBC wouldn't pay her a cent. Now I'm not a professional or anything but I've always assumed they probably do get quite a significant settlement. I wouldn't think that their lawyers would bother anyways tackling their case if they didn't see it as a valid case to milk.

We've all heard those stories of people you know taking time off work to 'see a doctor' as per the scumbag lawyers advice. Hell I've heard of stories of people not going to work, lined up to see chiro, doctor, physio, dental(lol claims of their teeth getting loosened from a fenderbender) every week. Eventually after a year? or whatever ICBC just settles the case with a substantial offer cause they don't want to keep paying out of their asses for it.

Oh did I ever tell you the story of some girl who didn't wear a seatbelt? When she got into an accident she slammed her head into the rear view mirror and broke it. She got a teeny cut on her forehead and got paid 20k or something. I heard she got a bigger settlement cause she was a girl. omg kill me teh scars.

How about the story of the family in the minivan that got rear ended? How the whole family (4 people) in the car, sued icbc for injury from a broken bumper. That's four cases, four settlements. Probably got a year-end bonus bigger than the one they'd get from working.

The system is fucked. Not just icbc but the system/lawyers.

I don't know how recent a lot of this information is. In the last 3-5 years ICBC has really been cracking down on BS claims.

You can even see they have advertisements on the TV warning people about fradulent claims.

We aren't saying ICBC won't pay her a cent, but it's bullshit that they have to just because she's a stupd lying cunt and lawyered up.

[- kT]

I believe they try this tactic but anyone can go get a lawyer and then Icbc gets a lawyer and then come the costs

most injury lawyers that work on icbc injury cases get paid on a contingency basis, and if you don't get any settlement, they don't take anything from you. nothing up front, no consultation fee. my lawyer, when i had my claim, charged something like 20% if it was settled outside of court, 25% if it went to court, etc. there's really zero downside to getting an injury lawyer if you're genuinely hurt from the accident

on the flip side though if the lawyer suspects you have no case (ie falsely claiming injuries) they won't take you on. obviously
