British Columbia Northern Companion Guide: After a Crash

Prince George is where most northern referrals land, and Vancouver is where the rest of them go. From Dease Lake or Fort Nelson, either one is a serious trip.

That travel is part of what the crash cost you, and it belongs in the claim alongside the physiotherapy and the missed shifts. The trouble is that it happens in pieces. A tank of gas here, a motel night there, and by the time anyone asks you to total it up, half the details have gone.

What's inside?

• Which door to knock on first in British Columbia, and in what order. ICBC treatment travel to begin with, then the Travel Assistance Program for specialist care ICBC does not cover, and Northern Health Connections, BC Bus North and Hope Air on top of that
• A travel log with room for the distance, whether someone had to come with you, and whether you stayed the night
• A costs and receipts page that adds up what getting to your own care has cost you
• A call log for every conversation with ICBC, and a follow-up template so you can put it in writing afterward
• A daily recovery record, and a weekly check on what you can and can't do yet
