Opinion: “People are going to get railroaded into decisions where their claims are considered minor when they are not.”
The Civil Resolution Tribunal, which now handles minor ICBC claims, is misleading people on its website and not providing “independent” adjudication, the Trial Lawyers Association of B.C. charges in a letter to Attorney-General David Eby.
“Eby is letting his role as the minister responsible for ICBC override his role as attorney-general,” Nairne said. The changes introduced by Eby, which came into effect April 1, limited pain-and-suffering awards for minor injuries to $5,500 and shifted motor vehicle accident claims below $50,000 out of court and into the administrative CRT’s bailiwick.
“If the CRT is truly independent of ICBC and government, it must purge its website and all communications reflecting ICBC/insurance defence bias and avoid giving any legal advice, let alone misleading legal advice, to vulnerable British Columbians being forced to have virtually all their motor vehicle accident-related claims before the CRT.
