10am to 3pm NORTH VANCOUVER REC CENTRE SKATING RINK If you own a car in BC you'd better read the fine print! UNDER THE CURRENT SYSTEM, if you are not happy with the proposed compensation for an accident, you have a right to your day in court. Under the proposed schemes, you cannot have your day in court, even if you were not at fault, unless you suffer catastrophic injuries from the accident. You could be required to accept ICBC’s assessment of your limited entitlement. This could make ICSC the judge, the jury, and the paymaster. Now, you can get compensated for actual lost income, including loss of future income. Under these new schemes: ¢ You will only be partially compensated for iost income, only up to a maximum of $400 a week and then only for two years. ® If you currently earn more than $25,000 a year, you could lose your house, -your car, and suffer a serious decline in standard of living for your family. © If you are self-employed or running a small business you could fose your _ business if your injury disables you for more than a couple uf months. “"e Ifyou area student, temporarily unemployed, or a homemaker, and become -” disabled as the innocent victim of an auto accident, since you have no . current income you may not receive any compensation for lost income regardless of future income, career opportunity or value in the home. . Every one of us, as we drive, is conscious of how slender the line is between a normal! life and a life of pain and suffering. Under the proposed No Fault schemes, pain and suffering has no value and will receive no compensation. Thousands of us will personally pay the price for years to come for a wrong decision now about No Fault insurance schemes. ~ Driving is a necessary risk. ICBC was created to serve us in insuring against that risk. And generally it has served us well. Like everything else, though, conditions have changed. We have new problems in auto insurance. But, we don't believe we have to collapse the ICBC tradition. We do think it means that we have to work together to solve these problems. That's why we have suggested workable solutions that could save $2.4 billion over the next four years without reducinc; your insurance benefits, threatening your essential coverage, or raising your rates. 90% of British Columbians polled are opposed to any versioi: of No Fault. There is also virtual consensus that de-insuring ourselves (we are the owners of (CBC) is not the right way to address our problems. We want to work with you, with ICBC, and with the provincial government to sustain the ICBC mandate to serve you with viable insurance coverage. Together We Can Ensure a System that Insures You! ay fell your MLA that NO FAULT is NO SOLUTION!
