OF BRITISH COLUMBIA AUTO TOPIC

LAST WEEK, we began a review of the basic auto insurance coverage everyone must purchase from ICBC in order to have a vehicle licensed for use on the road.

The major coverage in this package is a minimum, $200,000 Third Party Legal Liability. This Protects you financially up to that amount if someone else makes a claim against you for the cost of bodily injuries, death or property damages arising from an accident for which you are held legally responsible.

But there's more to your basic Autoplan policy. There are benefits available for you if you cause injuries to yourself or are injured in an accident in which no one is at fault. In fact, these are called ‘‘No-Fault*’ Accident Benefits and they could provide up to $150,000 for medical treat- ments, rehabilitation, lost wages, death benefits to your survivors or funeral expenses.

Anyone hurt in an accident in- volving a 8.C.-owned vehicle is covered including the driver and passengers, a pedestrian or a cyclist. The vehicle owner or any member of that person’s house- hold can also be entitled to some or all of these benefits if they are injured by an ov: of-province

motorist. anywhere in Canada or the United States.

Those claiming certain benefits must qualify for them. For exam- ple, those claiming wage-loss benefits must prove they were employed at the time of the acci- dent.

Your hasic Autoplan package also iucludes something called “Inverse Liability."". In certain parts of Canada or the U.S. (such as Quebec, Oregon or Michigan), you are forbidden by law to make a claim against another motorist, even though their negligence results in damage to your vehicle.

Inverse Liability coverage allows you to make your claim to ICBC instead of to the other motorist’s insurance company. We pay the cost of repairs to your vehicle to the extent that the other driver was liable.

Some other areas of Canada and the U.S. do not have funds to compensate people for injuries or fatalities caused by hit-and-run or uninsured motorists. The basic Autoplan package provides some coverage.

Eecause all of these coverages are part of the mandatory Autoplan insurance package, we can guarantee that funding exists to help people involved in auto- related accidents.

For more information on these coverages, see your Autoplan Motorist’s Kit — the booklet you get with your insurance and regis- tration papers from your in- surance broker. You can also ask your broker for a copy of the ICBC brochure “Basic, Com- pulsory Autoplan Insurance.’’
