The Income Replacement Benefit offered by ICBC is a part of the Enhanced Accident Benefits, designed to assist British Columbians injured in a crash who are unable to work due to their injuries. This benefit replaces the previous system where lower benefits were provided, and the non-responsible party had the option to sue for additional lost wages. Now, with Enhanced Care, individuals receive 90% of their net income as wage loss replacement, up to a maximum of $113,000 in annual gross income, in regular, non-taxable payments. This benefit is available for as long as medically needed and is accessible to those injured in crashes in Canada or the U.S. It's important to note that any income replacement received from other sources like employer benefits or Employment Insurance will be deducted from the ICBC payment. The benefit is intended as a temporary measure to support income loss during recovery, with different provisions for severe injuries and transitioning to retirement benefits at retirement age. For a comprehensive understanding, please refer to the full bulletin provided by ICBC: Income Replacement Benefit Bulletin.

The difference between New Car Replacement and GAP Insurance is this: GAP Insurance only pays the difference between what a person owes on their leasing contract and the vehicle’s actual cash value at the time of the loss. This means that you don’t owe anything for that vehicle but also aren’t left with anything to put towards a new one. A New Car Replacement policy pays the difference between the Actual Cash Value settlement received by the Lessor from the Primary Insurer, and the cost of the same make, model, and trim level vehicle, in the newest model year available. The New Car Replacement policy settlement can then be applied to a new lease or finance contract as a down payment towards the replacement vehicle.

In addition to basic auto insurance, ICBC also provides optional coverage such as collision, comprehensive, all-perils, and specified perils insurance.

After any emergency medical care, contact your broker or ICBC directly and follow the instructions provided by their representatives. Be sure to keep detailed record of all details and expenses associated with the incident.

Depending on the provider, you can typically get liability insurance coverage, collision and comprehensive coverage, damage due to theft protection, and emergency roadside assistance.

However, it's important to understand the implications of utilizing the cash value, such as potential impacts on the death benefit and policy performance.
