We, at BARE FACTS, Apologize for not having an Issue up for the past couple of months, but there has been a lot going on, none of which would be of interest to our readers, so we won’t go there~!

From the Canadian arena we would like to continue our beef with ICBC.
There are some things you should know if you’re paying those insurance premiums to a Crown owned Insurance company.

• First and most important - Did you know that if you are in a car accident and you want ICBC to compensate you for Loss of Wages---it doesn’t matter whether you make $30,000.00 a year or $400,000.00 ICBC will pay you 75% of your wages up to a maximum of $300.00 per week(no more) giving you a grand total of $1200.00/per month, Who can live on these Peanut Wages? Who came up with this STUPID Payment System and do you think this applies to employees of ICBC?

• Secondly-when you’re injured in a car accident and you go to therapy, you the injured have to pay a portion up front and they will pay the rest. Example-Message Therapist-You pay $30.00 and ICBC pays the other $20.00. How is anyone supposed to pay this when the loss of wages is so low, or even worse maybe you can’t go back to work. I thought Insurance was to look after all issues that concern us when we’re hurt. Is that not why we pay insurance???

• Thirdly-ICBC will only pay for a certain amount of sessions, 12 to be exact, if we’re talking about a massage therapist. So in other words, if you are being helped by this therapist and you are on the road to recovery, because of their stupid policies the therapy will STOP after 12 sessions and you go back to the condition you we’re in when you first started. Are we starting to reach you??

Instead of making you an offer that is sensible  for injuries, loss of wages, suffering they give you a stock $6500.00 offer. If you don’t take it, you need to get a lawyer to fight for you. Don’t worry - with or without a lawyer - you’re probably looking at a two to seven year wait. Really!!!

If you don’t believe us just get into an accident,and by the way, make sure you involve another vehicle, or else you the driver will be at Fault ICBC has to have someone to blame.

Here’s a real life scenario that has just recently played out at an ICBC location. A driver was involved in an accident which involved two vehicles. The driver of one of the vehicles was charged by police---there were also witnesses that gave their names to police. The driver who wasn’t charged was told that they (ICBC) would have to talk to the police and witnesses before they could assess liability - and that it could take up to 30 days. The uncharged driver gave them a police report and the names and phone numbers of all the witnesses, so why 30 days of tax payers money being wasted?

 This is what we need from our readers. We need you to write to us if you have an outstanding claim or if you’ve been ripped off by ICBC Please ensure you give us all the pertinent info and your phone number/and email address.

We, at BARE FACTS, are extremely adamant about how government run companies are putting the screws to everyday people. We at BARE FACTS, want the return of Private insurance and we are not going to stop until we get it back!!! Lets get rid of these government employees that are making high wages and are put in these positions to screw the very people that pay their wages!!

Did you notice that everything government gets involved with turn’s to SHIT!!---but makes huge returns for the government.

So long for now!!! See ya next month.
